Slow down and enjoy - What a great way to see Lucca. It was like stepping back in time. The slow pace of the carriage ride and the knowledge of our our driver Marika made the whole experience a pleasure. I highly recommend it. It is a perfect way to get a feel of the beautiful town of Lucca!

Marika and her horse... - Marika and her horse Mario were fantastic! Marika is full of historical knowledge and Mario maneuvers the carriage through narrow streets with skill. He even stops at local businesses for a treat or two. The carriage is very comfortable and well maintained and you are often riding in shade. We have been in Italy for two weeks and this tour was a highlight! I would definitely recommend !

Walking with Mario - Walking with Mario in the center of Lucca was a really fun experience. With great professionalism and dedication to work they accompanied us on a tour of the historic center, explaining the monuments and periods of construction and evolution of the city.

Best tour ever. - Not enough stars to rate this experience! Merica and Luigi (Gigi) along with Stefano provided an incredibly informative and fun tour of Lucca. Great way to get a feel for the city on your first day of a visit or anytime really. Gigi is a pseudo celebrity and gets treats from multiple restaurants along the tour. Merica is very informative and entertaining and you can tell she enjoys doing the tour and showing off her city.

Very enjoyable tour - Picked a 4pm slot on a hot day for our 1 hour tour. Alot of journey is shaded as worried about the horse. Guide, Marios told us alot about history of Lucca. Wind in and out streets then up onto the outer wall. Glorious.

Wonderful way to experience Lucca - We couldn’t have asked for a better experience than with Marika and Mario (the horse)! Marika was so knowledgeable and great with our two young daughters - Mario is a local celebrity and made stops for snacks at local bars and restaurants as he gently walked us through the entire walled city and on a beautiful ride atop the city walls. It is a perspective of the city you can’t get any other way and should not be missed!

Disappointing!! - The tour operator did not let us know that they would not be able to provide this booked and paid for tour!!
Another tour operator with limited English assisted us and did their best but we do not believe we received what was promoted was what we received! Save your money!
