Lucca Fun - We made five stops for culinary delights and all gave a sense of the local cuisine. They were “snacks” not meals.

Beautiful day in Lucca - Denia did a very nice job showing us around Lucca. We had come in for the day from Florence as we had heard it was a lovely city. It was a nice way to get to know the city by walking around and sitting to eat and drink and hear about the city. Denia gave us some more tips of things to see after our tour before we left on the train back to Florence.

Great fun & lovely way to explore Lucca - I am so pleased we did this tour in Lucca. We walked to the first restaurant and shared a platter of meat & cheese (with wine if you wanted) onto the next where we had ravioli with meat sauces (there were alternatives) then to a pizzeria for a chick pea flat bread and pizza tasting, from here it was a traditional patisserie where we tried the bread with raisins & fennel & a traditional Christmas cake!! Finally, a chocolate shop where some of the group had ice cream & others hand made chocolates. I could pop!!!

Excellent family experience. - Alessandra was a fantastic and knowledgable guide who shared her love for the food, history and town of Lucca. We enjoyed trying the specialty foods of the region and seeing the town through a local perspective. This was a great activity to do with our teenagers.

Wonderful experience - Make sure you’re hungry because you’ll definitely get your money’s worth of food on this tour. I had Alessandra and she was lovely, stopping along the way to point out some historical tidbits and sights.

Savor Lucca Tour - Lovely day walking around old Lucca and tasting authentic foods. Food portions were generous but wine offerings were not. We were offered a glass of wine with the antipasti at our first stop but after that, if you wanted wine, you had to pay extra. That was a first for us as (typically) wine is included. Especially with the main meal. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. The group was quite small which made it nice.

Giordano our guide was fantastic! - Our guide Giordano was fantastic. We learned not just history of Lucca but also Tuscany. The experience was great. Of the 5 courses- three were fantastic. However was surprised only one glass of wine was included amongst the 5 courses. The only only reason I rated 4 stars instead of 5 is the price seemed too high for the total food/wine value.

Mediocre food tour - THe guide were very informative and we tasted great food, but very little, I was hungry after. Maybe its because it was only me and I paid a double ticket to have the tour, I expected more.
