We had a fantastic tour through Lucca. Our tourguide Sara was super. We had three nice high quality stops in typical local restaurants (breakfast, lunch and Gelateria). The sightseeing was informative relaxing and laid back in a group adding up to nine people. Due the stops we had enough time enjoying the food and interesting conversation. I can only recommend!!

Our guide Marta was wonderful — just the right balance of history, culture, and fun. Three big stops for food (breakfast pastries and cappuccinos, meat and cheese plate with wine, and finally the best gelato) mixed with the most important sights of Lucca. Perfectly paced for the entire family.
