GetYourGuide in Turin: tours and day trips, how it works

What GetYourGuide is

GetYourGuide is a platform founded in Zurich and now based in Berlin, specializing in tours, guided visits and experiences in thousands of destinations. It runs almost nothing itself: it brings together activities from guides, agencies and local operators, handles payment and booking, and acts as your point of contact for support.

Compared with a tickets-only platform, its strength is variety: for the same city you’ll find walking tours, tastings, day trips and small-group or private experiences, each with reviews from travelers who have done them.

What you’ll find on GetYourGuide in Turin

In Turin the catalog starts at around €15 and mostly covers activities with a guide or escort. The most useful categories:

• Guided museum visits, especially at the Egyptian Museum, with offers from around €30: always check whether entry is included.
• Walking tours of the center: Piazza Castello, Via Po, the historic cafés, magic and underground Turin.
• Food tours, from around €35: chocolate, bicerin, aperitivo and Piedmontese specialties.
• Day trips, from around €50: the Langhe hills with Barolo tastings, Alba, the Sacra di San Michele abbey, the Palace of Venaria.

For simple museum entry the choice is narrower than on ticket-focused platforms such as Tiqets. Ideas and itineraries for excursions and tastings are on our pages about day trips from Turin and food and wine tours.

How to choose a tour

Many activities in Turin look alike, and the difference is in the details. Before you book, check:

• who runs it: the operator’s name is shown on the page, and one with plenty of recent reviews is an extra reassurance;
• the guide’s language and the maximum group size;
• what is included: entry tickets, transport, tastings, lunch;
• the meeting point and actual duration, especially for trips outside the city;
• the most recent reviews, not just the average score.

Vouchers, cancellations and support

After booking, the voucher arrives in the GetYourGuide app and by email; on the day you show it on your phone to the guide or at the entrance, with nothing to print. Save it offline if you expect a poor connection.

Most activities offer free cancellation up to 24 hours before, with a full refund; some have different terms, always shown on the page before you pay. Many activities with free cancellation also offer “Reserve now, pay later”, which holds your spot and delays the charge until a few days before the date.

Customer support is available in the app, by email and by phone, in several languages; you’ll find it in the help center on getyourguide.com. Keep your booking code ready.

GetYourGuide or the official channel?

GetYourGuide is worth it when you want a guided experience the museum doesn’t sell directly, a trip outside the city with transport included or a food tour, and when free cancellation gives you room to change plans.

For basic entry the official channel is often cheaper and more generous with discounts: the standard Egyptian Museum ticket costs €18 on the museum’s website, and under-18s get into the Royal Museums free. Holders of the Abbonamento Musei pass or the Torino+Piemonte Card get free entry to many museums and don’t need to buy a ticket elsewhere.

Our relationship with GetYourGuide

To be transparent: this site earns a commission on bookings made on GetYourGuide, Tiqets and Headout through our links. You pay the same price you would pay going to the platform directly. We have no commercial agreement with Musement, Viator or Civitatis.

The commission doesn’t change our advice: if a tour isn’t worth the price, or the museum ticket is all you need, we say so. More detail on our About page.
