What to expect
Three leisurely hours threading through Turin's columned streets and manicured squares. Your guide will point out the Baroque facades and sculptural details that made this city Italy's first capital, moving between monuments at a measured pace—plenty of stopping to look and listen. The tour culminates indoors at a period café where you'll sit with a plate of royal-era pastries and local confections, the kind served to 18th-century nobility. Expect cobblestones, some stairs, and the occasional steep incline, though main routes are broadly accessible.
