The best way to see Lucca! - This was the best walking tour we have ever done. We were lucky enough to get Ciara to ourselves and she provided the perfect balance of history together with a real passion for Lucca that kept us engaged for the whole time. Her warm and friendly manner meant it felt like chatting to a friend but we learnt loads about Lucca as well as enjoying some delicious food along the way. Would not hesitate to recommend this tour. A very enjoyable morning

Fabulous Lucca tour with fabulous guide, Sara - Walking Lucca tour with lots of local snacks was wonderful with Sara. She is friendly, informative, fun and native to Lucca! Our family of five thoroughly enjoyed our time and recommend to others. Sara was also very helpful answering all of our questions and anticipating our needs, like lots of shade, as it was a very hot day. Excellent!

Highly recommended if you like good food and a historic walk - What a great experience today in Lucca! Highly recommended if you like good food and culture. The tour took us through the pleasant streets of the city, while our guide Antonella told us all about the rich history of Lucca in a fun way. In between we stopped at various places to taste local delicacies. From sliced ham to bruchetta and a good glass of wine, each stop had something unique. Everything came from the neighborhood, so you notice that it was made with love and attention. Finally, we got a gelato at a local favorite, and it was really great. Just what you need after an afternoon of hiking. A tasteful way to discover Lucca. Grazie mille, Antonella!
