    Awesome experience

    What an amazing experience. Marika is so knowledgeable and accommodating and friendly. Seeing Lucca in a horse and carriage was the highlight of our trip to Italy.

    Perfect tour for Lucca

    A wonderful guide & experience!! The perfect way to see Lucca within the walls. Highly, highly recommend this tour!!! Just the perfect amount of time. Guide was very informative. The locals love the horse.

    Marika and her horse...

    Marika and her horse Mario were fantastic! Marika is full of historical knowledge and Mario maneuvers the carriage through narrow streets with skill. He even stops at local businesses for a treat or two. The carriage is very comfortable and well maintained and you are often riding in shade. We have been in Italy for two weeks and this tour was a highlight! I would definitely recommend !

    Best tour ever.

    Not enough stars to rate this experience! Merica and Luigi (Gigi) along with Stefano provided an incredibly informative and fun tour of Lucca. Great way to get a feel for the city on your first day of a visit or anytime really. Gigi is a pseudo celebrity and gets treats from multiple restaurants along the tour. Merica is very informative and entertaining and you can tell she enjoys doing the tour and showing off her city.

    Loving Luigi and Lucca

    Amazing overview of the beautiful city of Lucca. Was happy to go also go along on the city wall. Tour guide was knowledgeable and well versed. Was a little hard to understand with his accent but happy he spoke English. Highlight of seeing Lucca!

    Very enjoyable tour

    Picked a 4pm slot on a hot day for our 1 hour tour. Alot of journey is shaded as worried about the horse. Guide, Marios told us alot about history of Lucca. Wind in and out streets then up onto the outer wall. Glorious.

    Great experience! 👍🏻

    Mario, The Wonder Horse

    David_T, Sep 2022
    Riding through the ancient streets and alleyways of Lucca in a horse drawn carriage was very unique and special. Our driver was very knowledgeable and provided insights into the life and times of the people of Lucca. The highlight was when Mario, the horse, stopped at a pizzeria, stuck his head in the door and waited for his treat of prosciutto.

    Lovely summer ride

    It was all very interesting and informative! Marika was the best guide. A must-do for everyone who visits.

    Greatest Tour!

    It´s been the most beautiful tour with Marika and her completely trustworthy horse Luigi. The tour was very informative yet at the same time it was a very personal and lovely experience. Always again Bravo !!

    Fantastic

    Anne_G, Oct 2019
    Marika's tour was one of the highlights of our trip to Italy. We were able to cover a lot more ground than we would have on foot and learned so much about the history of Lucca. Her horse had a great disposition - it didn't even flinch when cannons were being shot off by reenactors on the wall.
