Wonderful tour around Turin! We learned so much from our tour guide Carolina about city of Turin and the history of chocolate. I would highly recommend this tour. Carolina was fantastic!

This tour company was completely inflexible, and was unwilling to work with an emergency change in days. I lost money and will not book with them again.
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Hello, we’re truly sorry to hear about your experience, but we’d like to clarify that your request to change the tour date was made less than 24 hours before the scheduled start. As outlined in both our policy and Viator’s terms, changes or cancellations within that time frame are not permitted due to operational costs and commitments already in place.
We also regret to inform you that all tours on the following day were fully booked, so rescheduling was not an option.
While we do understand that emergencies happen, we must apply our policies consistently to ensure fairness to all guests and our local partners.
Best Regards

There were eight of us on this chocolate tasting tour and it was outstanding. Marta, the guide, was friendly, well informed, and most accommodating. We visited five chocolate shops that produced their own delicious products.
Wade_L, Sep 2024
This was just an 'ok' tour. The shops we stopped into were nice. However, our guide provided little information on the origin of sweets/chocolate in the area or what each shop was specifically known for. We had to 'pump' her for information. At some shops, we were instructed to each choose 3-4 items to try. We had to ask what each item was, its significance to the area, and whether it was a speciality of the shop.
Response from Host, Sep 2024
Good morning, thank you for participating in our tour. We are sorry to hear that you are not totally satisfied with the experience and that you felt that the guide was disinclined to tell you anecdotes and trivia about what you were tasting.
We will use your feedback to improve the experience and make sure that the narrative is always rich and engaging. We hope to see you again soon!

Carolina was a knowledgeable and personable guide that was great with both kids and adults. She wove the history of the city and the region in with the descriptions of how the different chocolates and confections are made, which made each of the spots we stopped come alive. Each shop had something different and delicious.

We had a fantastic time on our chocolate tour with Carolina. Communication beforehand was good and a gluten free guest was accommodated, no problem. This really was a great way to try Turin’s best treats and Carolina was very entertaining and knowledgeable. She was also kind enough to recommend some other places to eat for the rest of our trip. A must do experience if you love chocolate!

We thoroughly enjoyed exploring the city of Torino - Carolina was an amazing guide who was very insightful. The combination of chocolate and exploring the city made it an exciting and worthwhile tour. Highly recommended.

The gastronomic tour was very thorough and explained in detail. The quality of the guide was excellent, explained both the historical and culinary part of the city. Truly complete in everything!

La guida è stata molto carina. Però il tour é stato di solo cioccolato con gelato finale. Non abbiamo mangiato nessun pasticcino.
Response from Host, Nov 2024
Grazie per aver condiviso la tua esperienza! Siamo felici che tu abbia apprezzato la nostra guida. Per quanto riguarda il contenuto del tour, vorremmo precisare che si tratta di un tour dedicato al cioccolato e ai dolci, e il gelato finale fa parte dell’esperienza. Se cercavi una varietà di pasticcini maggiore oltre al cioccolato, ci scusiamo per il fraintendimento, ma il nostro tour si concentra proprio su questo tipo di dolci tipici di Torino.
Apprezziamo comunque il tuo feedback e speriamo di poterti offrire un’esperienza che rispecchi meglio le tue aspettative in futuro. Grazie ancora!
