Highly recommended walking tour! - A fabulous walking tour around Lucca. Sarina, our guide, was very knowledgeable and she understood my English sense of humour and answered all my questions. Very interesting with a few stops along the way for drinks and snacks. Well worth the money.

Lucca is delightful and delicious! - Our walking food tour with Sara in Lucca was our favorite experience in Tuscany so far. Sara shared so much history and current information about this fabulous city. We enjoyed the pace of the tour because we could look around at our surroundings as Sara was explaining and then she gave us time to see new things and ask questions about them. We never felt rushed. In addition the food was delicious and it had significance for the area - Chick pea pizza is unique and tasty! Grazie Sara! We loved your tour!

Excellent walking tour of Lucca - Marta was an excellent tour guide. She is extremely friendly and informative. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Lucca. The food and drinks were tasty and more than I expected. We will not soon forget the laughs we had sitting under the canopy of a trattoria in the torrential rain. Grazie Mille Marta.

A Great History and Tasting Tour With Chiara - We have been to Lucca before and even been on a walking tour, but this was a totally different and very enjoyable experience with Chiara. We saw sites in the town and learnt about their historical relevance at the same time, and mixed in with this we tasted some of the local specialties produced by local artisans. Great value, and a great guide, so find the time if visiting Lucca
