Amazing views and Alessandro told us all about the plants, vegetation and the history of the hermit settlement we saw along the way too. A physical, mental and educational treat! Highly recommend and can’t wait to join Amazing Lucca for another hike soon.
"Physical, mental, and educational treat" – we absolutely love that description! It sounds like the journey resonated on all levels, which is fantastic to hear. You're always welcome back!
It was a great experience to walk up on Monte Pisano with Federica. She is a very experienced hiking guide and has an enormous knowledge of the flora and fauna and also of the history of her homeland. She is also very nice and warm person. By the way I'v got a free Italian course and lots of tips for the beautiful Lucca :-) If I should come to Lucca again, I would certainly book more excursion with her or Alessandro, it is worth it. È stato veramente un piacere conoscerti :-)! Tanti saluti, Franziska
Thank you Franziska! It was a pleasure to meet you. I hope to see you soon for new adventures!
During our summer vacation we did a hike with Federica on the Monte Pisano Trail. Along the way, Federica introduced us to nature, explained herbs and plants, and explained the local wildlife. Our kids were just as excited as we were. Our children were particularly impressed by the explored cave, even if we did not see a bat. At the height of the ascent we had a great view over Pisa, Lucca to the sea. This break was rounded off by a small picnic with pastries from the region, which Federika had brought along. We had a wonderful trip and our children also took home lasting impressions. We became aware of the homepage during our independent research. The contact in advance and on site was uncomplicated and very cordial.
