4Fascinating
It was a very interesting tour. To learn about the citadel was fascinating. The Resistance Underground tunnels were amazing.
4History of the underground was impressive
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.
5Going underground
Excellent, interesting and informative tour of the tunnels of the citadel in Turin. Lots of useful information about Turin's history.
5A great tour for history buffs
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.
5We speak English knowing...
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.
5Great tour
Our your guide was very knowledgeable and created great interest in the underground tunnels. I truly enjoyed going to the air raid shelter.

About Turin
Turin is the elegant Piedmont capital below the Alps, a city of arcaded avenues, royal palaces, a famous Egyptian museum, chocolate and vermouth.
Turin was the first capital of unified Italy, from 1861 to 1865, and before that the seat of the Savoy dynasty, whose baroque palaces and wide arcaded streets still define the centre. Piazza Castello holds the Royal Palace and Palazzo Madama, and Piazza San Carlo is a grand square with twin churches. The Mole Antonelliana, a tower topped by a spire, houses the National Cinema Museum, and the cathedral keeps the Shroud of Turin.
