2-Hours Relax Walking Tour Through Lucca
Description
Come enjoy the “city of a hundred churches” on this 2-hour walking tour. This magical city of Lucca is made of fortress style architecture from the 16th and 17th centuries. Unlike most cities, Lucca is a peaceful and slow-paced place, where you can relax on your tour. Starting at Amphitheater Square, you will learn about how it was built on the ruins of a Roman arena, giving it its ovular shape. After this, we will journey down the shopping street of via Fillungo, where you can grab a bite to eat and do some shopping. Then, we will walk to Piazza San Martino, which is home to several important monuments, including the Cathedral of San Martino (Duomo di San Martino), built in 1070. Lastly, we will take a walk along the walls in front of Porta San Pietro, and enjoy views overlooking this picturesque city. Join our walking tour of Lucca and, with the help of our expert guides, discover the secrets of this beautiful city.

A fascinating and comprehensive tour of Lucca, a gem of Tuscany. Ilaria was very informative and anticipated the needs of our group on a very hot day, mixing in breaks for shade and drinks without breaking up the continuity of the tour - highly recommended!
While our guide was professional and polite, this tour was a shadow of other private tours we have taken in other cities. Usually on a private tour you have an enthusiastic and friendly guide who is excited to share information both historical and cultural. Our guide was very exact on the historical elements of the tour and covered the main things you need to see in Lucca but we could have easily read this information ourselves. We didn't feel like we had the "extra" experience you tend to have with a private tour and came away feeling that we would not recommend it to a friend. It would have been more fun to have an audio guide and walk it ourselves. Our guide did not seem to like her job very much which is a little unfortunate.
Dear Helena, thank you for your review. It is very sad to read you did not enjoy the tour. During a private tour a visitor is free to ask the guide what he/she prefers to see. Lucca is full of art and Gilda tried to give you the best of the city, talking about art, history, lifestyle of the locals and food. After reading your comment I talked to Gilda. She told me the exact words you ended the tour with her: " thank you for the wonderful introduction of the town. We really appreciated it ". These words do not match with your review. Are you sure you are reviewing the right tour? Have a nice day Susanna
Davide was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable and friendly. We enjoyed the experience very much. Would recommend.
Lucca is lovely, and our guide was lovely as well! We saw so many things and learned a lot about the history of the town! The churches and walls were the most amazing!
