Our guide, Ms.GIADA, was able to enjoy the city of Turin to the fullest with appropriate guidance and speed. The electric bike had great power and we were able to climb the slopes without any difficulty. The view of Turin from the top of the hill was beautiful and memorable. I'm really glad that I signed up for the tour on the first day of my stay in Turin. I highly recommend this tour.

Our tour guide, Emanuela was so knowledgeable and expressive throughout the tour. She had such great knowledge of Turin and the historical significance of the city and region.
