Highlights
  • Piazza Cittadella, 1 - The food culture of Lucca stems from history, hunger, ancient recipes and dreams. Let 2Italia introduce you to the delicious traditional food of Lucca by taking you through narrow alleyways to hidden treasures, off the beaten tourist track, to taste the food the Lucchesi themselves eat.
    Your Italian guide will introduce you to locals whose families have been preparing the foods you will sample for generations. There will be 8-10 stops along the way to taste authentic Lucchese specialties.
    Tour highlights include typical handmade fresh pasta from Lucca, wonderful hams and salami, rich tiramisu, delicious ice cream, sheep’s milk cheese from the hills surrounding Lucca, exquisite olive oil tasting and, of course, a selection of local wines. In addition, Paola, a born and bred Lucchese, will enthrall you with stories of food, family feuds, local intrigue and ghosts.

Great tour, great guide!! - When I arrived at the Puccini statue to meet the group, I discovered I was the only taker for that particular day. I would have not been surprised if they cancelled or postponed, but off I went with Paola, my guide, for my individualised experience!! There were lots of planned stops of course, but I was also able to stop at stores that interested me and chat to Paola about them. I enjoyed my tour, ate waaaay too much, but was also able to rest afterwards to digest it!! Thanks Paola for a lovely morning and lunch.

Amazing Tour - The variety of places Paola took us to with a bit of history along the way. We loved the private wine experience at Enoteca Vanni.

A very tasteful way of walking - We have visited Lucca several times, and thought that we knew the city "pretty well". Now, after this amazing, well-tasting and informative food trip, we love Lucca even more! Yes, we've had coffees, pastas, gelato (plenty), antipasti... before, but now we know more about the food and drinks, where they come from, their history and ingredients. Paola was a very positive and knowledgeable guide, and all the people we met were very polite. If you think 3,5 hours seems like a lot, don't be afraid. You don't walk that far, and the tempo is nice and easy with several stops. We highly recommend this trip. It is a very nice, and tasteful, way of walking!

Enjoyable food walking tour - Excellent guide who was very informative whilst visiting a variety of places and learning about the history and traditions of food and drink in Lucca. We tried a good selection of delicious wine and italian snacks and it was fun to wander the less touristy parts of Lucca and be introduced to some hidden gems! Loved it!!
