 Verificata Great introduction to La Scala! Our guide was excellent, very knowledgeable and easy to listen to. He even found us when we weren’t exactly sure where our small group was. Lots of interesting information!

 Verificata BEST OF ANCIENT EGYPT OUTSIDE EGYPT! What a surprise to see this wonderful collection outside Egypt! Well preserved, well displayed and very professional in the description details of each exhibit. Our guide, of Egyptian origin, was extremely well read and an expert in Egyptology who gave us a fantastic insight into the world of those times in Egypt. A MUST visit when in Torino.

 Verificata Highly recommended! A very interesting visit to a fantastic museum with unique items of wine production. The guides were knowledgeable and engaged. They had a fully operating wine serving machine from the 1750s. All of the wines tasted very good.

 Verificata History of the Opera House is powerful Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the opera house. She introduced us to the details using a model and connected it to the bombing that happened in 1943. She guided us through sharing very specific information about the paintings and items we were seeing. There was a rehearsal in the opera house and she made it possible for us to go in twice and see it. A truly memorial tour.

 Verificata A really educational and informative session We have been on wine tasting sessions before, but the sommelier Nico made this a very different experience. The wines were superb but through his expertise and patience we identified many aspects we had Ben previously unaware ranging from glass selection to understanding the various shades in the wine in question- really enjoyed the session.

 Verificata Spectacular Experience! The experience was 100% better than our previous one at il Duomo. The guide was efficient and welcoming. She was exceptionally knowledgeable and explained many unexpected details of the castle and the sculpture. Much of tour was inside so the hot weather did not affect the enjoyment of the tour. The size of the participants was such that we were able to hear her explanations well and move through this large castle easily. Highly recommend Hidden Experiences.
