This is one of Torino / Turin's must see tourist attractions. You can generally find the station by…read moregetting on the tram and getting off at the very last tram stop. The locals still speak very little English but they will be able to direct you to the Sassi Station. I definately recommend walking around their small museum and then taking the tram up the mountain. There is a small restaurant at the top and the views are amazing. I think the tram goes up about 3km and you can walk down the mountain again but it will take you a few hours. When you get to the top, you can visit the Basilica of Superga. They have tours in a few languages. You definately have to see this for yourself.

Don't ever *attempt* to use this service! I tried to call a…read moretaxi in Italian (the operators do not speak English what so ever; my Italian is decent - not perfect - but enough to call a taxi), to Porta Nuova Station. Destination: Bus station down the very same road. (Vittorio Emmanuele...seriously...easiest money) There seemed to be some some trouble regarding the connection and the operator hung up. So I called again (happening to have the same operator) and as soon as I stated my location she hung up on me again. No questions asked, no explanation given. Still caught the bus, no thanks to your service non provided - Avoid!

My friend and I did a private wine tour and both state it was the best we've ever been on. I have…read moredone wine tours in other areas of Italy, as well as in France, Croatia, Greece, and many areas of the US... none compare to the personable experience had with Stefano. He picked us up from the train station as predetermined and immediately started sharing information and points of interest on our drive to visit the town of Barolo. We toured the town, learned knowledge, he took our photos when wanted (hey we are women living in the age of Instagram), and bought us coffees and a bite to start the day. We visited 2 wineries in Barolo (as I requested when booking), with lunch in between at a restaurant with a stunning view and delicious food (cost not included in tour fee). The 2 wineries we visited were great, first a more modern family owned one and second a more homely own one. At both, Stefano and the winery owners gave us knowledge on the wines, the area, and food pairings. Stefano was very easy to speak with and it was fun asking his opinion on Italian and wine culture, etc.. as well as sharing ours. It was like spending the afternoon with a knowledgeable funny friend. I was insistent on not visiting a Babaresco winery as I am a HUGE Barolo fan but Stefano insisted we should try one if there is time (and luckily there was). We visited a winery owned by two sweet older men and tried over 10 wines there and sat chatting. I will forever remember this experience and 100% credit it to our wonderful guide. To know: The guide picked the wineries and restaurant based on the price point we wanted since that was an additional cost. Everything else was included in price (pickup/drop off, wine tasting at all wineries and snacks too). We visited: Pira, Cantina Stroppiana, and Grasso and also tasted (at additional fee) a tasting of Gaja wine at a shop while visiting the town of Barolo. In addition to the wineries we saw many sites and learned a lot of history not only about wine but the area. 100% recommend!

今次我们夫婦倆参加了這一個酒莊導賞團，實在是物有所值。雖然是短短一天的時間，但是Stefano(我们導遊，也是在酒业打滾多年)用他的車子接載我們 遊覧Piemont区內Barolo…read more及Barbaresco的地方，也帶我們去了兩個酒莊(都是家庭式的)，真是大開眼界。 STROPIANNA 酒莊和GRASSO 酒莊都是家庭经營，莊主很友好，不介意讓我們看他們釀酒的機器/酒桶，也很用心地解答我們的各種問題。我们在这兩酒莊內共試到15至16种酒，他們的售價也很合理。總括來说，我们对这ALBA WINE TOUR 十分滿意，也已經向朋友極力推介
