Great Tour/Great Experience.

Jennifer_N, Jun 2025

This tour is fantastic. Federica was the guide and she brings the area to life! Federica is friendly, knowledgeable, shares the history, background and beauty of the area outside the walls of Lucca. The hike is accommodating to skill level and the views are spectacular. I highly recommend this tour to truly experience the history and beauty of Lucca.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

We are so happy to hear you had a fantastic experience on our 'Dolce Vita' tour, Jennifer! We loves showing guests that Lucca is much more than just its famous walls. It’s great to know that you appreciated the historical background and that the hike felt perfectly tailored to your pace. Those panoramic views over the olive groves truly are spectacular, and we’re glad they left such an impression. Thank you for the high recommendation!
