Itinerary

Choose a morning or afternoon tour and meet your guide in central Lucca near the Cathedral of San Martino.

Begin by admiring the facade of the cathedral to see representations of flowers, animals, and stories that tell the lives of the saints. Enter the cathedral to see the 'Volto Santo' (Holy Face), the wooden crucifix that pilgrims during the Middle Ages came to see.

As you walk through Lucca's charming historic center, pay attention to the buildings that line the streets, many of which were once private homes for the city's wealthy and noble families. Learn from your guide how to decipher the meanings behind the various facades.

Visit the Zecca, Lucca's historic mint, to see a replica of a coin from the Middle Ages made for each child in the group. Stop at the Church of San Michele to once again 'read' the stories on the facade, including some featuring legends and myths.

Finish the tour with a gelato.

Terrible

Nick_m, Oct 2025

No call and no show. Very irresponsible of a business to do that, especially when involving kids. To schedule a day around an event, and to get no reply is in very bad taste

Response from Host, Oct 2025

We are terribly sorry for the guide's absence. We had a computer problem and your reservation was not booked. We will obviously refund you for the missed service and we will be happy to offer you one of our guided tours of your choice free of charge. We apologize again and hope that in the future we will have the opportunity to have you as our guests on one of our tours.

Lucca mit Kindern

Die schönen Bäume auf den Türmen und die noch intakte und weitläufige Stadtmauer. Viele Details der Geschichte von Lucca erzählt erhalten.

Bello ma forse mi sarei aspettato di più.

Mario_M, Aug 2020

Un tuffo nel passato tra le mura di Lucca, e la nistra guida è riuscita a suscitare interessare anche sulle nostre bambine di 5 ed 8 anni.

Response from Host, Aug 2020

Ci dispiace di non aver soddisfatto a pieno le Sue aspettative. Essendo un tour impostato per i bambini ci fa molto piacere di essere riusciti ad interessare le vostre bambine, significa che siamo riusciti a raggiungere il nostro obbiettivo. Speriamo di potervi trovare nuovamente a Lucca in futuro.
