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.

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.

Going underground

Andrew_S, Feb 2026
Excellent, interesting and informative tour of the tunnels of the citadel in Turin. Lots of useful information about Turin's history.

A great tour for history buffs

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.

Great tour

Joanne_B, Sep 2025
Our your guide was very knowledgeable and created great interest in the underground tunnels. I truly enjoyed going to the air raid shelter.

Cool on a hot day

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...

Marija_T, Oct 2023
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.

Definitely Worth it

Michael_T, Sep 2023
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 and enjoyable history tour

Fran_G, Apr 2023
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.

Great insightful tour

Michaela_J, Oct 2022
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

Great impressive, just do it…. Nothing else to tell, just do it and be impressed on these huge defense constructions

Turin underground

massimo_l, Mar 2026
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...

Un tuffo nel passato

Monica_c, Nov 2022
L'esperienza è stata molto interessante. Abbiamo fatto un tuffo nel passato attraverso un rifugio anti aereo del periodo di guerra ma soprattutto è stato interessantissimo percorrere le gallerie sotterranee che erano state costruite sotto la fortezza di Torino e tutta la storia ad esse legata.

Esperienza emozionante
