Great Lucca Experience

Our guide Luca was fabulous-funny, knowledgeable, and took time to explain what we were seeing and answer our questions! The food was great with some of the best gelato we have had yet in Italy. We would highly recommend this trip to get an overview of Lucca.

Lucca: Cook with an Italian Mamma – Pasta & Tiramisu by Cesarine

Zoe_M, Sep 2026

We Found Our Lucca Familia!

If you’re looking for an experience with an Italian familia, this is the one!! Monica and Paola were such gracious and loving hosts. They took every measure to make sure our experience was beautiful and filled with knowledge and learning and the sense of familia. We learned to make two kinds of pasta from scratch, we tasted different flours and talked about how ingredients affect the final product. Everything we used was fresh and organic. We enjoyed a delicious bread “chip” as an antipasti, and then delicious bruschetta so flavorful. We sampled a beautiful ricotta with homemade herbed olive oil and herbed salt. We made the pasta and then cooked it. To serve the pasta, it was complemented by two very different but equally delicious sauces and a delightful red wine. We had an option of two desserts to choose from and enjoyed each very much, along with a delightful dessert wine. Monica takes great pride in being able to really effectively teach the students proper technique and innate cooking lore that will help them reproduce the dishes learned in Lucca when they return home. She inspired both of us to consider more cooking with fresh and organic ingredients. This experience was definitely a highlight of our adventure and we would highly recommend and repeat when we are in Lucca again.

Self-guided Bike Tour from Lucca to Pisa

Simon_K, Jul 2026

Great day out in the...

Great day out in the countryside, the bikes made it easy and very enjoyable. We went there and back on the bikes after spending a few hours in Pisa and having a lovely lunch away from the crowds in the centre. 100% would do it again it was fun and lovely to cycle so far through varying scenery. We’re in our mid 50s and don’t cycle at all except on holidays sometimes.

Every Day Cooking Class in Lucca Italy

Jackie_P, Jun 2026

Wonderful hosts!

Wonderful father/daughter instructor team led our family through making homemade rage, pasta, and tiramisu. The food was fantastic and they were lovely hosts. The only thing I would say to be aware of is that this is in commercial kitchen setting- not in a home or patio. Other cooking classes we have taken are in more of a residential or patio setting but this is very commercial- not a typical dining situation.

Discover Lucca’s Secrets on a Guided Walking Tour

Kevin_S, May 2026

Excellent experience highly recommended

This was an excellent tour and our guide Victtroia was very knowledgeable and pointed out so many interesting things. The tour was at the right pace and mainly in flat ground the only hill was to walk to the top of the walls. I would highly recommend this tour you get a sense of what’s to see so you can go and explore in more detail if you wish. Highly recommended
