Guided Food Tour in Lucca. - We had a great day exploring the local food in Lucca. Five stops in total. 3 savory and two sweet. Was full but not stuffed, which was nice. Our guide, Giordano did an excellent job leading a group of 8 through the streets of Lucca.

Fabulous day eating local - We do a food tour in every new town we stay in as we feel they're a great way Toney to the know the area and the local cuisine. Our tour guide Denia took us to several local spots that all specialized in something different and everything we ate was fabulous, even out picket teenagers enjoyed almost everything! Denia was a wonderful host who knew many things about Lucca and gave us good information about the town as well as the food. Our tour was very personal and a great way to spend a few hours getting to know Lucca.

A great food tour in Lucca - We loved our food tour. Annalisa was a wonderful guide. She made us feel like we were chatting with an old friend. It was a very relaxed experience. The food was very high-quality and plentiful and we got to try foods that are local to Lucca. I’m very glad we chose this tour.

Best food in Tuscany - We had an amazing experience with our tour guide Alessandra. We were a family of three and were joined by two other families of three. It was a great group and Alessandra led us through the city seamlessly. She gave us great information about the city and most importantly brought us to the most delicious establishments to sample their local food. It was some of the best food we had during our trip through Tuscany and the best gelato we have ever tasted. Thank you Alessandra!

Don’t miss the chance to learn about Lucca while sampling top notch foods. - We had a wonderful experience on the walking food tour with our delightful guide Giordano. He was so knowledgeable about Lucca, we really were not expecting to learn so much about the city itself. The food we sampled at each stop was top notch and plentiful- we even took home leftovers! Highly recommend this tour and also Giordano himself as he really made the experience fantastic.

Disappointed - We are very disappointed! If we did not ask our guide questions, we would not have learned anything about the city and life in Lucca! At the gastronomy level, we would have liked to go to a salumeria, to be able to taste several specialities of cold cuts. We got a single slice of fennel salami. Same for cheese, we would have liked to go to a cheese factory or grocery store and taste several cheeses. We only had a tiny piece of pecorino! Same for the wine! We have everything in the same place next to the pane dolce, a little easy!! The restaurant was average, we thought we would enjoy a pasta dish at a pasta producer!! Service of this gastronomic tour was minimal and expensive for what we had!!
