Anna was an excellent guide and knows her Lucca history! We saw mist of the highlights of the city. Thank you Anna!

We enjoyed the tour and while it was good to give the tour in English and Italian (4 people, 2 from US, 2 from Italy), we wished it could have been in just 1 language. Anna did a good job

Ana gave us a very thorough intro to the history of Lucas walls and some sights in the walled town.
Well Done!

Learned alot about Lucca today. Anna was very knowledgeable. Many walls to explore and lots of history within those walls.

The tour is not actually a walking tour of the city and its walls, but only a tour pretty much focused on the walls. The guide was nice and agreed to walk to the cathedral, but, for the rest, I haven't seen much of the city itself. The guide was a nice, good girl, but she didn't have a story to tell and she explanations were kind of superficial. Only few words per subject. I am sorry to say that the tour was neither interesting nor entertaining. I still tipped the guide with 20 euros, as she was very accommodating with my requests.

Buongiorno,
Ieri le avevo anche inviato un messaggio in cui affermavo che a dire il vero ci sono rimasta un po' male di quello che mi ha scritto riguardo al tour.
Il tema erano principalmente le Mura e la loro storia: infatti si tratta di tour che a Lucca sono effettuati pochissime volte o addirittura mai.
Del Centro Storico le ho parlato assai della Cattedrale, un po' della Chiesa di Santa Maria dei Servi, di Piazza Santa Maria Foris Portam, dell'anfiteatro, di San Frediano, delle Porte Medievali, di Via dei Fossi e di Piazza San Francesco. Abbiamo anche osservato Palazzo Pfanner da sopra le Mura.
Tra l'altro le ho parlato anche di alcune leggende come San Martino e il Povero, il Volto Santo e Santa Zita e le ho mostrato alcune cose a cui tante persone non fanno caso, come l'antica Porta est delle Mura Romane e il bassorilievo della chiesa di Santa Maria Foris Portam.
Detto questo la saluto

We were late and called Anna to tell her we would be. She waited for us which was very nice but then took that time off tour. We had 11 am tour, arrived at 11:30ish and she ended at 1:30 because she had another tour coming up at 2p, so totally understand. Thanks to her for waiting for us! Tour was informative. People with us had been to Lucca before so not as eye opening to them but we enjoyed the tour and we had a great day to walk around.

We were looking forward to this English language tour, but it turned out that it was us and two Italian people. The guide spent most of the tour speaking we then and we had to keep asking her what she had just said to them. We actually made our excuses and left this tour partway through.

Dear Sir,
Generally on Viator I work with non-organized groups.
I have also translated in English the information about the city given to the Italian ladies as you have asked me. When the two Italian ladies asked me personal things, It was not important to translate them in English.
Kind Regards
Anna

We were met by our guide Anna Romani in Lucca for our walking tour. Anna was extremely knowledgeable about her city. She explained the history, the food and the the experience of living in this amazingly preserved historic city. I highly recommend this tour.

Splendida esperienza turistica guidata da Anna, immersi nel fascino antico di Lucca - dai segreti della cinta muraria alla furba urbanizzazione del locale anfiteatro in uno alle incantevoli architetture e facciate di chiese e palazzi.
