The itinerary
Your perfect tour to Lucca from Florence
Explore ancient Lucca, one of the most famous and glorious walled cities in Italy!
Ancient origins
Founded by the Etruscans, Lucca has even more remote origins. In 180 BC, the town became a Roman colony and from that period has maintained the rectangular grid of its Roman street plan. Piazza San Michele occupies the site of the ancient Roman forum.
Discover Lucca
Lucca is a rather small town with many interesting places to visit – the Romanesque cathedral of San Martino, the church of San Michele, the Basilica of San Frediano with its exquisite mosaics and the birthplace of the famous composer Puccini whose house is now a small museum.
A bike tour on medieval walls
The wide medieval walls had once defensive purposes while today Lucca’s locals use it for walking and biking. Have the most unique experience in Lucca: rent bikes and have a Wall Bike Tour along the ancient city walls!

What our guests actually say
Every review below is public on the platform it came from.
Our driver, Luca, was one of the best guides we have ever experienced in Europe! From the beginning he was warm, kind, and friendly. He had a unique style of presenting the history and current culture of Florence, Lucca, and the surrounding areas. He was very interactive in conversation which was much appreciated. He even did a quick stop at Piazza Michelangelo for us to take a quick photo opportunity on our return as traffic made our tour in Lucca a bit…
This tour was magnificent. Our guide Donatello was so friendly with fun stories, history and went above and beyond for a WOW day! A tour with this company is a must!
Guiseppe was a terrific driver and informative guide. He made our visit very enjoyable. We had no problems with booking or with the tour, and would definitely do it again when we visit Florence.
This was an amazing experience. Giuseppe was an incredible driver, very knowledgeable and helpful. Grazie!
Wonderful tour! Stefano was an excellent driver and told us all about the region. He was extremely helpful. I would recommend anyone to take this tour with him.
Highly recommend the tour. It is at your own pace with your private driver, in a luxury sedan. What made our tour special was the warmth and enthusiasm of someone who loves the place, its culture and welcoming guests to share it with. Our sincerest thanks to our driver/guide Donatello for the wonderful experience.
