Kent Benson

Guide profile:

I am an English expat living in Italy for the last 7 years with a well developed historical, geographical and cultural knowledge of Val Chisone, in the Italian (Cottian) Alps, just outside of Turin. I am also the English speaking guide for the Fortress of Fenestrelle, the largest fortification in Europe! As seen on Ghost Hunters International!

I am qualified as a Mountain Bike instructor as well as local tour guide and walking guide. If you want an interesting, well informed guide that speaks English then I am your man!

Please contact me for availability before confirming a booking. Especially June,July and August.

Mid September to Mid October I can offer Deer photo stalking trips.

I had the pleasure of seeing one of the most beautiful yet looked over locations in all of Italy via the guidance of Kent. We opted for the full day tour of Fenestrelle Fortress with him and received more than we could have ever asked for. Kent's detailed knowledge of the history and landscape are far superior to any other multi lingual guide you could have and I say this with zero hesitation or exaggeration. His enthusiasm and love for what he does is also truly separates him from his peers!

We really enjoyed our experience with Kent. He was very friendly, easy to listen, and had a wealth of information on a place that we never thought existed - Fenestrelle Fortress. Absolutely brilliant - Thanks Kent. And the price was very cheap as well. Would certainly recommend this to anyone.
