5.00Excellent tour and great food. Chiara is a wonderful guide. We walked all around and throughout Lucca as she told us about its history, culture and much, much more. We had three great stops for refreshments and food. Very informative and interesting.

5.00We enjoyed this tour with guide Chiara. She was friendly & professional with much information. Great for first-time visitors or repeat-visitors like us. We learned about the history, culture and much more. She gave us tips for the rest of our visit.

5.00We had a really great morning with Claudia. She is knowledgeable, interesting and lively, but also accommodating to members of our group of four. We were not at the correct meeting point and she came to us rather than making us find her, which we appreciated greatly. She was very generous with her time and expertise. We would certainly recommend this tour of beautiful and interesting Lucca.
Lovely Lucca in May

5.00Our guided tour ended up being very personalised for just the two of us… our guide was very informed relaxed and took the time to understand what we wanted from the tour. Included a stop for coffee & cake (Italian breakfast) and finishing with refreshments & a bite of food. Sara explained architecture & history as we strolled through the streets of the medieval old town. Not rushed … would recommend !!

5.00When booking this tour, you should request antobertolani! She made Lucca’s history come alive. Our group of four found her to be very knowledgeable and engaging. We wish we had another day with her. She went above and beyond to paint a picture of the layers of history in Lucca. She even shared dining recommendations and shopping tips.
5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
