Lucca Classic – Carriage Tour in the Old Town

norarR8355JF, Oct 2026

Celebrating 50 years in a carriage

Beautiful experience. Touring the historic center in a carriage with Marika who tells you the history of Lucca was relaxing and very interesting. Seeing Mario relaxed and serene while he goes around among the people who pet him, take photos of him, and seeing him stop in front of the shop windows where his friends are who give him a treat, is priceless. I highly recommend it. Our little dog was also very interested😃

An Amazing Funfilled Day. Highly re

You don’t need horseback riding experience to ride these horses. Yet if you are experienced, you will still enjoy the ride. The views are spectacular. Our guide was amazing, and went out of his way to ensure we enjoyed ourselves. Lunch was very good. Our visit to San Gimignano was a highlight. I only wish we had an hour longer in town. O highly recommend this to anyone

Stunning views across the...

Stunning views across the countryside. We were very well looked after and could see the high standards of the stables. The horses were very calm and laid-back, relaxed with loud noises and traffic. Clara was a fantastic, experienced and friendly guide who made sure everyone had a great time. The beginner riders were very well looked after and always safe, while others had the opportunity to trot and explore at a faster pace. Thanks again !

Lucca Royal Experience – Grand Tour Deluxe by Carriage (2 Hours)

Debra_N, Jul 2026

Magical Tour

I wish I could give Marika more than 5 stars. We have been traveling in Italy for almost 2 weeks and have done tours in each city. This was by far the best one! She was prompt picking us up, and was very responsive with messaging ahead of time. She clearly knows every nook and cranny of Lucca and loves this place. As we rode in the carriage with Mario (the horse) at the helm, townspeople would call out friendly greetings to her, which made Lucca even more magical - like a small village. The history was very interesting as well. We are English speakers, and Marika’s English was excellent and was able to answer all of our questions. She was charming, funny, and made us fall in love with Lucca. We will definitely be back! One more note— where we are from in the USA, horses are not always treated well (like NYC carriage rides), please know that Marika’s horses are very well loved and live outside the walled city where they can just be horses in a farm setting.. She is clearly very careful about their safety and happiness, so if you are worried at all about this, please don’t be. They are well loved.

Very nice experience!

Marika and her horse Mario have given my family and me a wonderful time! The best way to get to know Lucca! Marika has introduced us to Lucca's sights and stories very knowledgeably and in very good English. In addition, it was very special to see how harmoniously, calmly and safely Marika steers her horse through the hustle and bustle of Lucca, very impressive! It was an enriching tour in every way!
