Hello! I’m Carlotta, a proud native of Turin – or Torino, as we locals call it. I was born and raised in this vibrant city, and over the years, my love for it has only deepened. That passion led me to pursue my tour guide and tour manager license, and I’ve been sharing the beauty of Turin, Piedmont, and other stunning Italian destinations with visitors from all over the world for over 15 years. My curiosity and drive to constantly learn have sparked my deep interest in art, local history, and the preservation of the rich cultural, gastronomic, and folkloric traditions of my region. I stay up-to-date by crafting new itineraries and researching fresh, captivating stories to share with my guests. What I love most about being a tour guide is seeing the amazement in my guests’ eyes as they discover my beautiful city and its surrounding areas. I’m also incredibly passionate about our local food culture and traditions. In fact, I’ve created a "Market Tour – Like a Local" and became a certified sommelier in 2024. I now also lead wine tours in the Langhe region, where you’ll taste exceptional Barolos and Barbarescos at hand-picked vineyards. I work closely with hotels, local institutions, tour operators, and both Italian and international associations to ensure a seamless experience for my guests. I’d be thrilled to welcome you during your visit to Turin and Piedmont! Licenses & Qualifications: - Licensed Tourist Guide and Tour Manager by the local government in Turin and Piedmont - Master’s Degree in Tourism Development - Cettified Sommelier by the Italian Sommelier Association - I am authorized to lead tours both outdoors and inside museums and art exhibitions A practical note: I am not a driver, but I can accompany you in your vehicle or arrange for a car and driver upon request. I look forward to showing you the best of my city and region!

Turin has been my home forever, and I can’t wait to share its stories with you! On this private tour, we’ll explore the city’s historic heart together. With me, a true Torinese, as your guide, you’ll enjoy an easy, engaging walk filled with history, laughter, and local charm. We’ll uncover how Turin became a European gem under the Savoy family in the 17th century, rose from its Roman origins to Italy’s first capital in 1861, and thrived as an industrial hub. Today, it’s one of Europe’s most elegant and fascinating cities. Let me show you why I love it! ***For parties bigger than 4, please send me a message for a specific group quote. It is also possible to rent headsets.***
The exact itinerary can be customized to fit your interests. The tour can also start from your Hotel if it is located in the historic center. - We'll start from the beating heart of Turin: Piazza Castello, where you'll admire the exterior of the Royal Palace, Palazzo Madama, and the Church of Saint Lawrence. If you are a group bigger than 4, please contact me and I will send you a customised quote for your party. - We'll visit the area near the Cathedral that is home to the Holy Shroud, the most important relic for Christians and we'll have a good look at the best kept Roman Gate in the whole world. (Please note that the Shroud is never on display, it is possible to see where it's kept, but the linen is always covered) - Then, we'll follow the steps of the Royal house of the Savoy's family under the elegant arcades reaching for the baroque architecture all around us. The tour runs hail or shine. Takes place mainly outdoors, with a couple of stops indoors, the path is partially covered under the arches.
