This tour was fabulous. The guide was very informative and gave some personal insights. The tunnel was very interesting and if you like history a must see. The WW2 shelters also interesting.
As we went from location to the next our guide provided lots of history as well pointed out places we might visit after the tour.
It was a very interesting tour. To learn about the citadel was fascinating. The Resistance Underground tunnels were amazing.

Thank you, Irene! We’re glad Underground Turin® gave you such a fascinating perspective on the city’s hidden history, from the Citadel to the underground spaces linked to the Resistance. The itinerary is designed to connect different eras and sites beneath Turin into one coherent experience. We hope to welcome you again for another Somewhere tour in the city.
The History of the underground was impressive and our guide (Ileana) painted the story well using the topographical map in the museum. We found very helpful to understand the layout of the city etc. The underground itself was impressive. The remainder of the tour walking outside was nice but it felt disconnected to the start of the tour. Would still recommend.

Thank you, Kristine! We’re glad Underground Turin® gave you such a strong sense of the city’s hidden history and layout, and that Ileana’s explanations helped bring it to life. We also appreciate your note about the transition to the outdoor section; the itinerary connects several sites and periods, and your feedback helps us make that narrative flow even clearer. Thank you as well for recommending the experience.
Excellent, interesting and informative tour of the tunnels of the citadel in Turin. Lots of useful information about Turin's history.
The tour is a fascinating look on Italian history starting in 1700 going forward. In addition to walking through a maze of tunnels used to defend Turin against its enemies, you are taken to a WWII bomb shelter and a parking garage built around Roman ruins.
We speak English knowing this tour was in Italian. Still very worth it. For one part of the tour, there were headsets with prerecorded English. This covered more ground than we realized. The fort area has a lot of history and has its own museum. There are a lot of visuals in the museum to explain the layout. Very interesting, especially if you like history. Also went to an old jail and a place where they stored ice.
Our your guide was very knowledgeable and created great interest in the underground tunnels. I truly enjoyed going to the air raid shelter.
A fantastic experience that goes beyond the normal tourist spots. Wonderful tour for a hot day. If you enjoy history and learning about Turino's connection to roman times, book this experience.

The tour was excellent. We saw several parts of Turin and went through many of the tunnels. Sarah, our guide, was very knowledgeable about the history behind each of the tunnels. She gave us a lot of interesting information about the history of the city.

Thanks you for tour kind feedback!!

Great experience. She was quite knowledgeable and friendly. She provided a wealth of information on the Under ground tunnels of Torino. She provided information on what certain markings and bricks symbols meant, the purpose and construction of the tunnels. She provided on the culture ,military history, prominent buildings, and foods in Torino. The tour is the perfect length. Definitely recommend if you are looking to explore the history of Torino.

Our guide was wonderful! The tour was very interesting and full of history about Turin through the ages. Be prepared to walk and wear comfortable shoes.
Opportunity to find more about Torino history and visit the tunels.
Ice cube holes in the parking space are not representative and maybe that part should skip during the visit.
Great afternoon of interesting history. Tunnel walks were good and then taken to a prison an, air raid shelter and finishing off at an ice house. All in all a good experience that I would recommend to anyone going to Turin.
Donatello our guide was knowledgeable and friendly
Varied tour. Underground at the museum to the tunnels, then walked overground stopping on way while certain points of interest were talked about. Onto the old ice houses. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and helped others where English wasn't their first language to ensure they understood. Was a fair bit of walking and standing so not suitable for very young or less mobile. About 2.5 hours. Definitely learnt more about Turin and its history.
The English Tour was just great. The guide shared a lot of interesting insights and put the tour into historic perspective. We can really highly recommend this tour - many thanks for the tour guide
Hidden places, unbelievable stories. Antonella, our guide was amazing. Very knowledgeable and welcoming. Highly recommended tour...
Great impressive, just do it…. Nothing else to tell, just do it and be impressed on these huge defense constructions
Interesting experience, well-prepared guides, the only downsides are that the end of the tour is a 20-minute walk from where you leave the car and then the ice houses in the underground parking lot are very sad

Grazie Luigi per la sua recensione e per aver apprezzato l’interesse del percorso e la preparazione delle nostre guide. Torino Sotterranea® si sviluppa tra diversi siti della città e, per questo, punto di partenza e arrivo non coincidono; l’informazione viene indicata prima della visita e le nostre guide sono sempre a disposizione per orientare gli ospiti al termine del tour.
Comprendiamo anche la sua impressione sulle ghiacciaie: si tratta di una tappa molto diversa dalle altre, ma importante per raccontare un aspetto meno noto della vita quotidiana e della storia sotterranea di Torino. Grazie ancora per i suoi suggerimenti, che ci aiutano a migliorare continuamente l’esperienza.
An experience that enriches one's knowledge of the city, the guides are professional and very talented, and in addition to the rich basic information, they delighted us with stories, details, and curiosities that would otherwise be difficult to find.
The weakest moment, for me, was the visit to the prisons, saved a little by a nice surprise that I do not intend to reveal to future visitors.
I would recommend evaluating the use of transportation more suitable for carrying a limited number of visitors (the use of a regular bus with over 40 seats is therefore a waste, which unnecessarily increases the ticket price, not to mention the environmental impact)

Grazie Katarzyna per aver dedicato tempo a una recensione così dettagliata.
Ci fa molto piacere che Torino Sotterranea® le abbia permesso di conoscere la città da una prospettiva più profonda, anche attraverso storie, curiosità e dettagli meno facilmente reperibili, e che abbia apprezzato la professionalità delle nostre guide.
La ringraziamo anche per l’osservazione sulla tappa delle prigioni e sul mezzo di trasporto. La scelta del veicolo dipende da diversi aspetti organizzativi e dalla disponibilità operativa della giornata, ma il suo suggerimento sul rapporto tra numero di partecipanti, costi e impatto ambientale è certamente uno spunto utile da tenere in considerazione.
E grazie anche per aver custodito il segreto sulla sorpresa finale! Speriamo di ritrovarla presto in un’altra esperienza Somewhere alla scoperta di un altro lato insolito di Torino.
Beautiful, exciting, expert, kind guide, we took a trip into the past, I recommend it, we were there with two children, one 10 years old and the other 5

Grazie Claudia per aver condiviso la vostra esperienza! Siamo davvero contenti che Torino Sotterranea® sia stata così emozionante per tutta la famiglia e che anche i bambini abbiano vissuto con entusiasmo questo viaggio nel passato. Grazie anche per le belle parole sulla nostra guida. Vi aspettiamo volentieri per un’altra esperienza Somewhere a Torino!
There are no suggestions to follow. The visit is well detailed and already fascinating in its own right. Perhaps I would suggest a minimum of historical preparation to better follow the detailed descriptions of the museum guide and staff... Highly recommended for all ages! The visit to the anti-aircraft museum in the “new” prisons is a journey full of historical sensations and modern thrills...
