Local Memories Free Tour Turin: Stories You Can’t Google
Overview
Join me for a 3-hour walk through Torino’s heart, the city where I once studied, laughed, and fell in love with Italian life. We’ll explore its most iconic and authentic places: from Piazza San Carlo and Piazza Castello to the Roman Palatine Gate, Mercato Centrale, and the local farmers’ market Campagna Amica.
Along the way, I’ll share stories you won’t find online, how locals invented Bicerin, Nutella, and Martini, and where students still enjoy the cheapest bars, or where to find the most elegant cafés. We’ll pass Via Roma, Piazza Vittorio Veneto, the Po River, and finish with the best city view at Monte dei Cappuccini. Expect history, humor, and a taste of real life, from royal palaces to chocolate legends.
This is a tips-based tour: there’s no fixed price, I simply do my best to make it worth your time, and at the end, you decide its value. Come curious and hungry: Torino will take care of the rest!
