Fantastic tour where we fully experienced beautiful Tuscany in a day. Massimo our tour guide was terrific and very knowledgeable. Just the right amount of time in each place with the winery tasting being a highlight.

Had no idea Lucca had so much history going on. Had to keep moving as it was pretty cold. Kind of awkward as the guide had to keep switching to English (for me, and much appreciated!). Very knowledgeable.

Chiara was friendly, knowledgeable and took her time to make sure we had a great experience. The Lucca walking tour is informative, educational & a worthy investment.

Our tour guide Marta was fabulous!! We loved our walking, food and history tour!! Highly recommend!!

Excellent concert, beautiful setting. Well organized and easy to follow.
