You can admire the Baptistery, the Monumental Cemetery, and of course - the famous Leaning Tower! Your guide will lead you inside the majestic Cathedral as you learn more about the Romanesque design and mysteries of the city.
When you arrive, a professional guide will meet your group for a fascinating walking tour of Piazza dei Miracoli.

Lucca is famous in Italy for its still-intact medieval walls with huge gates and ramparts! A local guide will lead you through the enchanting old town center, with a portion of the walk along a section of the walls. Enjoy the breathtaking views of Lucca’s skyline from over the rooftops.
You will admire the main attractions of the city, such as the Anfiteatro Square, the Guinigi Tower, San Martino Cathedral, and a stroll along the picturesque streets filled with antique shops.
The tour ends with a BUCCELLATO tasting, a typical Lucchese cake - a famous saying of the Lucchesi (people from Lucca) is, "Those who come to Lucca without eating the Buccellato are as if they had never been there!”

Ignacio-Nacho was nothing short of amazing! Knowledgeable, informative, helpful and accommodating. I unfortunately had a small fall on my trip. He was attentive kind and most of all beyond helping Im the situation. Extremely grateful!
Such an enjoyable day trip, and so easy. Very convenient way to see the charming towns of Pisa and Lucca without any stress or rushing about. Both cities were beautiful in their own ways, and experiencing the contrast in one day with the guides knowledge was invaluable. Speaking of, the guide was lovely company and pointed out little spots and details we never would have found on our own. The highlight was definitely the Buccatello cake, absolutely delicious and a lovely, authentic local touch. Grazie mille!
Excellent way to see the sights of Lucca and Pisa in one day with no hassles. Our guide showed us around the streets, squares, and inside the Cathedral, and was super informative and helpful. The best part was seeing the Leaning Tower in person, and we also got to taste an authentic Lucchese Buccellato.
This was a full day tour from Florence but we were rewarded with two very different and charming Tuscan towns in one go. You get guided time in Pisa’s famed Piazza dei Miracoli and a wander round medieval Lucca, complete with its lively squares. The coach was comfortable and it was great to see the breathtaking cathedral and, of course, the Leaning Tower. The guide does a great job of bringing the history of the place to life. There’s a relaxed feel to the day, and we even finished with a tasting of local Buccellato, a lovely, authentic touch!
I’ll preface by saying this was more of a transportation service rather than a guided tour. The team did a great job of moving the group from place to place and establishing where to meet at what time. Once at the locations, you’re paired with a local guide who provides an hour-long tour before you’re given free time to grab a bite or explore the city further. This greatly differed from the other tours on our trip where the guides navigated us through our whole day. This meant we didn’t really get to connect with our leaders for the day, however, since there are little tour options to Lucca and Pisa from Florence, we greatly appreciated their services. Our local guide in Pisa was excellent. She was very humorous and had an extensive knowledge of the city’s history. She was full of fun facts and wit. Our local guide in Lucca was a bit underwhelming. She helped up navigate the city but didn’t have much to say about its history, which was disappointing considering the city seemed full of it.
The escort on our trip was terrible. She barely spoke English and she did I couldn’t understand her. Once we got to Pisa she turned us over to a tour guide which was better, but had to the tour in both English and Italian which took up time we could have spent doing more. When we got to Lucca at least there were two different guides (one for the Italian speaking people one for the English speaking people. She was excellent.
Thank you for your feedback. Our apologies for any shortcomings with the initial escort. It’s encouraging to hear the guided portions in Pisa and Lucca were more positive. Your comments are taken seriously and will inform our ongoing efforts to enhance our tours. Our team is dedicated to delivering high-quality experiences, and we look forward to the opportunity to impress you in the future.
Relaxing Tour and Sarah, one of the tour guides, is so charming and helpful - thank you. I throughly enjoyed the guided tour in Pisa with the local guide Michaela, who is very knowledgeable. Lucca is a very pretty town and has a great vibe making it worth seeing. Also a huge thank you to driver who got us safel there and back.
