In Turin, the capital of the Piedmont region of northwest Italy, sports cars and chocolate are a matter of pride. The city is also home to the Museo Egizio, one of the most impressive collections of Egyptian artifacts in the world. A stroll around Piazza Castello and along the Via Roma encompasses many of the must-see sights. Valentino Park houses an 18th-century castle, botanic garden and medieval village. When you've worked up an appetite, sample casual trattorias for pastas, regional wines and coffees.

My husband and I loved the private Barolo wine tour we did in the Piedmont Region. The staff at Piedmont Travel Guide was amazing. The private taxi service were the perfect size and well air conditioned with free snakes and water. Our tour guide did a great job explaining the Langhe region and types of wine (Barolo Riserva from Marchesi di Barolo) will we be sampling. He even gave us some background information on each winery. The three wineries we went too were also perfect. Great wine but they each offered a different take on the wine. We ended buying 6 bottles and having the team at Piedmont Tours assist with shipping to the US. We received our wine in great condition shortly after returning to the US.

We are very sad that we didn’t get our guide’s name but she was superb. Took us to all the essential places - palaces, cafes, arcades, museums, markets - so we got our bearings with the history and architecture as well as the geography. Gave us great tips all the way and tailored things to our interests so we could come back and visit sites later. She was intellligent and friendly and a truly great ambassador for her wonderful city. Absolutely highly recommended!

The museum is world class; the quality of the material presented and the style of presentation are both of a high order. BUT, the guided tour is in italian language only; no effort is made to provide other languages, even in a recorded format, even English. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE

As a family of three, we were excited to go on the 7 day northern lakes and Dolomites tour - especially as it would be very difficult to visit these areas by ourselves (visiting from Australia and not confident driving/getting around to these areas). The tour started well, we were the only English speakers but we had been assured our guide would provide fluent English commentary. Perhaps we expected too much but there was very little information provided about where we were or where we were travelling through. In fact, the first three days we received very limited information in total while the Spanish speakers were provided with much more. We visited some stunning places but too much of the tour focused on lunch breaks and eating rather than seeing the sights. Halfway through the tour more English speakers joined the group bit we still had to seek information rather than being provided with it on some occasions. The bus was too big for navigating city streets and mountain switchbacks - the driver often had to reverse and try multiple times to get around corners and switchbacks. I felt very sorry for him - he did a marvelous job but it would have been so much easier for him and much more enjoyable for us if we weren't concerned about falling off the side of a mountain. The company can't seem to decide whether they are catering to small groups or large and this has a huge impact on the enjoyment of the tour. In Trento we were advised that we would have several hours and could visit the castle. After paying for admission and entering we were then advised that because it was raining some people didn't want to stay so we were cutting the visit short - this should never happen! We then had to get back on the bus only to stop at a truck stop for lunch (instead of staying in lovely Trento). There wasn't really any point to having the guide as he did not provide much "guiding" only very limited information and directions to places he thought we should go and eat. We would have done as well with just the driver. If you can navigate your way around the northern lakes and Dolomites by yourself then I recommend you do that. Otherwise, perhaps a different company would provide a better tour.

Summer or Winter, Monterosso displays her beauty in her own seasonal style. I really enjoy the island and would love to spend at least a week there some day.
Until recently it was believed that up to the mid-19th century, Barolo was a sweet wine. More recent research lead by a French oenologist show that it was actually a dry wine, version which was positively accepted by other experts. And you, what do you think? On this tour, you'll have the chance to discover a unique area surrounded by green hills with a view on the mountains not far away. You'll then be guided in the winery to explore the wine cellar and learn about the particular production techniques characteristic of this unique wine. A guided wine tasting will follow, during which time you will taste different varieties of wines accompanied by typical local products.
Inclusions: Guided tour of the wine cellar, Wine tasting of the best selection of Barolo wines and local products, Private return car transfer from Turin (without a guide)
Exclusions: Gratuities
WOW! There is so much to see that it's overwhelming. Can't imagine doing this without a guide. We started early and was able to see the highlights of the gallery together with our guide's personal insight. The small group together with audio headsets worked out really well.
