Rinda_B, Nov 2023

What a great tour. Our guide was so fabulous. She really taught us a lot and we went away with a great appreciation of the city. We will definitely return to Lucca some day.

grazie! :)

Lovely Lucca!

ktomko, Nov 2023

Diletta was delightful! Excellent tour guide. SO much information in a short period of time. Not only did she give Lucca history, she gave shopping and restaurant recommendations for after. Really great value for the price. I'd highly recommend this tour to anyone.

Response from Host, Nov 2023

thank you so much for your kind review! we are happy you enjoyed the tour and the guide! :)

Tour worth Taking.

monte_t, Oct 2023

The guide expertly explained: clearly, interestingly, the 2,000, years of Lucca history. Plus you meet a lot of nice people with similar interests. Lunch, anybody?

Excellent walking tour.

Elizabeth_D, Sep 2023

Our guide Ilaria could not have been better, personable, knowledgeable and accomodating. The two hour tour was the perfect amount of time and a great way to get to know Lucca.

Great experience

Adrian_J, Sep 2023

Very good walking tour of the old city Luca. Excellent overview of the history and sites along the way…gave us lots of ideas for further visits. Roped the day off with a classical music concert in the cathedral, which was free.

Delightful

idtanabe, Sep 2023

Our guide was delightful and informative. She really gave us a perspective from a person who grew up in this walled city.

Quick overview

Jane_M, Aug 2023

The tour was decent but covered just a few sites. For a 2 hour tour I expected more coverage than just 2 blocks. While I was glad to have a local guide, I felt it somewhat difficult to understand her accent. Might have been my issue…

Inspiring

Roberto_M, Aug 2023

We've been guide by Mrs. Nadia through the history, places and habits of Lucca. Mrs. Nadia has been nice and able to focus our attention to the many beauties of this town. There's been really much to learn and two hours passed quickly. Without this tour we would have notice and retained just a small portion of what we've got by this experience. Inspiring!

Great tour of Lucca!

Cutter_C, Jul 2023

We really enjoyed this tour of Lucca! We stopped into town for a short day trip and this tour gave us a great snapshot of the town and its history. Our guide was professional and knowledgeable and kept things fun. Definitely worth your time!

A Most Excellent Guided Tour

Terry_V, Jul 2023

Our guide (we did not get her name) was outstanding. She had detailed knowledge of the history of Lucca, and conveyed it in a very engaging manner. We could not have asked for a better touring experience

Response from Host, Jul 2023

thank you for this kind feedback!

A Great learning experience

John_S, Jul 2023

Learning the history of Lucca was terrific as were seeing the sights. The tour guide was knowledgeable and did a great job presenting the material and answering questions.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Thank you for your kind feedback!

Talking tour… not walking tour !

nadav_g, Jun 2023

The guide was nice. She talked a lot. We did not have earphones so she only spoke when we stopped walking which was most of the time. If she had microphone or earphone system like other guides we could hear better and still see a lot more. Could have been much better.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

thanks for your feedback and for the suggestion. We usually have small groups (around 20 people), so microphone or headphone are not necessary as our guides have strong voice. Furthermore we think that stopping during the walking tour is a plus, as the guide can show the 'must see' of the city and can look people in their eyes creating a more personal relationship that makes our tour different from a flat, anonymous one, where one never sees the guide in face :)

This is the tour you are looking for!!

Great tour. 2 hours will only give you a flavour of Lucca, but our guide Diletta was very knowledgable and enthusiastic, and we came away knowing lots and really looking forward to coming back.
