Additional Information

Garfagnana is Lucca’s mountainous region, a must-visit in Tuscany if you appreciate quaint hilltop villages and delectable cuisine!

I will collect you from your lodging using my professional van, driving you throughout Tuscany’s undulating landscapes. At every sightseeing spot, our driver-guide will bring the van to a halt, striving to offer an exclusive and comfortable trip.

Subsequently, our driver-guide will share their abundant local knowledge, providing a window into the area through the eyes of a resident.

Barga and Castelnuovo are the key settlements in the region. However, you cannot miss the Devil’s Bridge, an architectural relic from medieval times and the unique lake of ‘Isola Santa.’

Of course, a tour of Tuscany would be incomplete without a memorable meal. Allow us to arrange a unique lunch for you, where you can savour local delicacies like a farro soup or fine prosciutto.

Rest assured, we always have some unexpected delights lined up during our tours!

A wonderful experience to be remembered!!! - What a wonderful experience with our great guide Rafaelle. Punctually picked up in a luxury vehicle he provided us with plenty information and his passion and enthusiasm for Lucca and Italy shines through. The three sites visited were so worth while, the route into the mountains picturesque and the special lunch was an absolute highlight of our tour!!! He is a good driver and a wonderful guide. Thank you so much.

We has a beautiful day... - We has a beautiful day with a fantastic guide Rafael. We loved the lunch at the Osteria and learned so much about the region - the paper production and silk business from the past. The Devil's Bridge and legend was very interesting.

A great day for the sights, and tastes of Garfagnana - We had a terrific day with Tomasso. The sights were varied and very interesting -from the classic Devils Bridge to the serenity of Isola Santa lake to the quaint village of Barga.. Tomasso was so informative and friendly and made sure that we experienced small details such as the Scottish pub at Barga which had its own version of an aperol spritz. He took us to a local place for a lunch of local produce. He was also a great conversationalist.
