Paola was the best possible guide. Great experience. Interesting not only for WW2 History geeks but also for the general public.

Off the Beaten Track in Lucca

Rosalia_H, Oct 2022

If you love history or just want to do something that is truly off the beaten track consider this private tour. Anna made it so interesting. It was a private tour and we were able to move at our own pace. The German bunkers and the story of how Lucca was involved in WWII were eye-openers. The museum is small but packed with interesting artifacts. Devils Bridge is included in this tour.

A Must See

Alan_D, Oct 2021

Touring The Gothic Line with Anna was absolutely incredible. Learning the history of the line was fascinating especially hearing the impact on the Italian citizens. Walking through the bunkers while hearing the stories of why and how they were built puts a unique perspective on history. Highly recommend this tour for everyone.

This did not have any reviews, so I...

This did not have any reviews, so I was a bit nervous booking this but my husband is a big history buff and really wanted to learn more about the Gothic Line and see the WWII German bunkers. Our tour guide, Carlo, was a great tour guide! The tour lasted about 2 / 2.5 hours. He shared a lot of informative information and also shared personal family stories. You need to rent a car in order to go to all three bunkers, but it was worth it. Very cool learning and seeing something that many people do not know much about. I would recommend this tour if you like history. The town is also pretty and you can see the gorgeous Devil's Bridge once the tour is over. Thank you Carlo for a wonderful experience!
