Do Eat Better: Turin Food Tour Sweet and Chocolate

The Turin Food Tour Sweet and Chocolate is a 2.5-hour guided walk through central Turin, in Piedmont, Italy, operated by Do Eat Better Experience. Turin is known as one of Europe's chocolate capitals, the home of gianduja, the hazelnut chocolate blend, and of the gianduiotto, and this tour is dedicated almost entirely to the sweet side of the city's food culture. The meeting point is Piazza San Carlo, in front of the Chiesa di Santa Cristina, from where the guide leads the group through the arcaded streets of the centre. The stops are sweet from start to finish. The tour begins with a chocolate tasting at a long-established shop, continues with biscuits and small pastries on Corso Vittorio Emanuele II, and includes bicerin, the historic Turin drink made of espresso, drinking chocolate and cream, near the meeting point. Further along, at Piazza Carlo Alberto, guests taste cremini and gianduiotti, and the walk closes with artisan ice cream. Savoury food is not the focus, so visitors who prefer a balanced meal should consider the gourmet or aperitivo tours from the same operator. The listed price is from EUR 75.95 per person and covers all tastings. Children aged 4 to 10 pay a child rate, and children aged 0 to 3 are free without food. Groups are small, with 2 to 12 guests, and the guide speaks English and Italian. The tour is listed at 3:00PM Tuesday to Saturday and at 10:00AM on Saturday, with free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start per the operator listing. All stops are within walking distance, so no transport is needed. Guests with nut, dairy or gluten allergies should contact the operator by email or phone before booking, because hazelnuts and milk chocolate are central to the tastings. The walk gives visitors a compact introduction to Turin's chocolate history and its historic cafe culture.
