Excellent tour to learn about the history of the medieval walls of Lucca and how they evolved from centuries ago.
Participants will discover what is underneath the great walking paths of Lucca and experience walking in the tunnels below.

This was my third time in Lucca and I never knew these under the wall areas were able to be toured. The guide gave a very detailed and interesting history of the history of Lucca and why the walls were needed and built. I recommend it to anyone visiting for the first time or a repeat visitor who wants to learn more about Lucca.

This tour is given in both English and Italian so it takes longer than one might expect. The guide also provides more information in Italian than she gives in English which is a bit frustrating. Nevertheless, it is an informative and worthwhile tour. Our guide was very pleasant.

Walking the ramparts with Lucia was a very enjoyable two hours, we learned so much about Lucca's past, the people who built the ramparts, how the town used the walls through Roman times to WW2. The restoration of the ramparts is an amazing achievement and being able to go down within the wall is a real privilege. Lucia conducted the tour in Italian and English effortlessly. Be warned, the tour is non-stop but definitely worthwhile. and we would recommend it to visitors to Lucca.

We had a very good time on this tour. The tour guide was on time and was very knowledgeable about what she was talking about. There were 2 other couples on the trip with us so it was not that crowded either! We did walk a lot but we went inside the wall and on top of it as well. Great experience and totally recommend if you have some free time in the city and want to learn more about the history of it!

Un'esperienza al di sopra delle aspettative. Un affascinante viaggio nel tempo saltando tra le epoche che hanno lasciato traccia di sé nelle meravigliose mura di Lucca. Una prospettiva inusuale per ripercorrere storia, usi e costumi di questa città, dell'Italia e dell'Europa in quelle epoche. Bravissima la guida che ci ha accompagnato con competenza, professionalità e gentilezza!!!
P.S. Ciliegina sulla torta: in una torrida giornata d'estate le parti "sotto" le mura sono particolarmente piacevoli anche per la temperatura piacevole che riescono a mantenere grazie alla loro impressionante mole e capacità termica.
