A beautiful sensory journey to discover the delicacies of Turin and Piedmont in the field of sweets .. it was 1 perfect combination of historical anecdotes with tastings of 7 characteristic sweets, a way to discover the city a little alternative but no less important or minor value .. the guide, Mirella, very competent .. she was able to convey her knowledge to us in a very engaging and not boring way, absolutely interesting and also good at constantly asking us if we had understood what she was telling us and if we were fine and that was all ok I absolutely recommend it, even the partners who have made themselves available to explain their history to us a little and "offer" their products

Fantastic tour around Turin at night visiting places we would have walked straight past. Carolina is a local and took us around Turin like we were old friends. She was full of relaxed information about the history, food and wine of the area. My daughter and I had a great experience tasting traditional Piedmontese fare and were appreciative of the other recommendations for places to go to eat and drink for the remainder of our stay in Turin.

Carolina was the best guide ever. The route is fantastic with a great mix of stops and plenty of food. It’s a great experience to do early in your trip as Carolina have is great advice on where to go and what to do. She is extremely knowledgable and friendly and made the whole tour fun and relaxed. We would highly recommend this to anyone that wants to experience food and culture all in one go. Definitely worth the price tag.
