    We had a really lovely...

    cgivich, May 2025
    We had a really lovely evening visiting Lucca with our friendly guide, Luca. He was knowledgeable about all aspects of this charming city (history, culture, etc) and was a great conversationalist overall. My husband and I were the only ones on our tour and it felt more like visiting with a friend than taking a guided tour. The refreshment stops were perfect and welcome after walking around the city. We highly recommend to others.

    A great way to start!!

    John_A, Sep 2024
    We thought it would be good to do a short walking tour when we arrived to get the lay of the land in Lucca! We had a small group of five and it was an evening tour with Appertivo -Luca was our guide and very knowledgeable-A great way to get an overview of this amazing place. Highly recommend as a start to your visit in Lucca..

    Excellent walking and tasting tour. Luca was very knowledgeable and had lots of interesting and fun facts as we walked around the centre of the city. The food and wine were of very high quality and very enjoyable. Well worth doing this tour, one of the best food and walking tours I have ever done.

    What a great evening. Antonella is so engaging and knowledgeable about Lucca and it's history. The stops we made to sample local Tuscan wine and food were excellent. Thoroughly recommend this tour.

    Warning: Lucca might become your favorite Italian city

    Mia_P, May 2024
    Antonella was a delightful guide, sharing her pride in her hometown city of Lucca. We learned so much about the history, art and architecture, and local delicacies. 3 stops for refreshment were perfect - we didn’t need dinner (we might have missed an opportunity there :) ). Wonderful host, great tour!

    Great overview of Lucca

    Jeff_S, Apr 2024
    Sara was a great guide for Lucca. The tour was just about the perfect length. There were 2 stops for drinks and light snacks, 1 stop would have been enough. The food was a little more adventurous for most in our group but was great to sample.

    Great tour!!!

    Christofer_S, Mar 2024
    Wonderful tour with a very knowledgeable tour guide. Learned a lot about the history of Lucca, saw many of the historic sites, and enjoyed two apertivo experiences. Everyone in our party loved the tour!

    Fun stroll through Lucca with excellent aperitivos

    Lauri_H, Mar 2024
    We had a great time on this tour. Our guide Antonella is lovely, and so passionate and knowledgeable about Lucca. The aperitivos and wine were outstanding. Definitely enough for dinner if you’re not a big eater. The pace of our tour was relaxed and we saw many of the highlights of Lucca and even had a random Dustin Hoffman encounter. We highly recommend this tour and Antonella.

    Best way to see Lucca

    Myria_K, Aug 2023
    An excellent way to see Lucca! We took an evening tour (17:30) which was perfect due to extremely hot weather. Our tour guide was so pleasant we had a delightful time!

    A good way to get aquainted with Lucca.

    Frederica_M, Jun 2023
    It was a great way to learn about the City, and ask questions of the host. In addition, the food and wine were enjoyable.

    Tour with someone who grew up here

    Vicki_W, Jun 2022
    Sarah was a delight and knowledgable! Food was plentiful... No dinner needed afterwards. Would have liked a third stop with more wine information.
