    Tour of Lucca

    Jane_W, Jul 2026
    Had a lovely 2 hour private walking tour around the walled city of Lucca. Our guide was great and her knowledge and love of Lucca very evident. We got caught out as did not realise we needed photo ID to verify who we were. Luckily I had a photo of my passport on my phone which I was able to use! Saw some tours as we walked around and commented that we were pleased with the number of people in them we had done a private tour

    Enchanted with Lucca

    Angie_R, Dec 2024
    Our local guide Sara was excellent. She really gave us a taste of what local life is by showing us different foods and gathering places. She told us all about the history of Lucca which we found interesting. My only issue with this tour was that Viator advertised it as 2.5 hours and we were only given approximately 2 hours( a bit shy of it). This is not the fault of the tour guide as we basically went down every street in Lucca. It is very small. Overall, it was a great experience,

    A great way to travel thru the streets of Lucca. Our guide Antoinelle was wonderful with so many stories about Lucca through the centuries, its history and its people. Took the train from Florence and we’ll worth the effort.

    Fun Buying Food on this Tour

    Marci_P, Jan 2023
    This is probably my favorite things that I did in Tuscany! It was so fun getting to stop and buy different local food from the area, as opposed to other tours that just go over the history.

    Great walking tour

    We were the only people on this walking tour. Our guide Chiara was prompt and kept us moving at a comfortable pace, allowing for stops to take photos or answer our questions. She was very knowledgeable about the history and architecture of Lucca. Great way to start your visit to Lucca.

    Excellent Tour

    Nadia was extremely knowledgeable and informative. It's easy to tell how much she loves Lucca. We highly recommend her.

    Nice Way to Explore Lucca

    Roy_B, Sep 2021
    This tour is a great way to see the town and get a good overview. If you are just arriving Luca,, this is a great way to get orientated. Our tour guide was articulate, informative, and funny. It was a very enjoyable time.
