Experience the best of
Lucca with Withlocals

"We took a food tour with Sara, and had the best time. Sara is bright, fun, engaging, and her mastery of the English language is impressive: we understood every word that came out of her mouth! She told stories about Lucca and its history and mythology; pointed out major attractions, gave us recommendations for shopping and dining (all of which were quite good), and introduced us to many of the best foods of Lucca: the best gelato we have ever had, delicious chocolates, liquers, a wonderful gluten free flatbread, etc. It was a delightful way to get oriented to Lucca and to have some great foods on our first full day here. This is only our 4th food tour, but we now consider food tours to be the best way to spend part of the first day in any city that offers food tours. And this tour was probably the best of the 4 we have taken. I highly recommend With Locals tours, and very highly recommend Sara as the guide to use in Lucca!"

"We really enjoyed our tour of Lucca with Sara. Informative, hidden surprises on the way, Sara was accommodating to our requests, and overall it was an excellent afternoon spent learning about the historical city of Lucca. Thank you Sara for sharing your Lucca with us we had an amazing time and will definitely be in touch when we return!!! Highly recommend Sara "

"Roberto is a fabulous guide - we were lucky enough to have him walk us around Lucca and it was a wonderful few hours that flew by. He is so knowledgeable, so entertaining, and so kind. His English is impeccable and we loved our every minute of our time together. Cannot recommend Roberto highly enough!!"

"We are on a short visit to Italy. This was Karen’s first visit. I wanted for Karen and myself a more personal visit to a smaller city. Our guide was Beatrice. Our visit certainly met optimistic expectations and more. Beatrice is a lovely person, knowledgeable (she is a archeologist), attentive to needs and it was easy to feel comfortable during 2 hour trip. Pistoia is a lovely town with much history that Beatrice related well. This is less tourist centric but people we encountered were all friendly. Beatrice loves her city and shares her positive feelings as we toured. Beatrice is very engaging, communicated city history and travel logistics well and would strongly recommend to all. We had the added treat of seeing Beatrice’s 3 month daughter sleeping peacefully in stroller push by grandmother. We had a lovely and easy trip from Florence to Pistoia by train. "

"We had a fantastic time in Pistoia with our guide Beatrice. She was extremely knowledgeable, interesting and spoke very good English. She was so accommodating in getting us to and from Florence and letting us extend our time in Pistoia to have lunch. This was our first time to Pistoia and we were pleasantly surprised with the town and all there was to see. We would not have discovered many of the historical areas or local restaurants without Beatrice’s help. Generally we are not big fans of tours, but this one was great and I would highly recommend it. A good way to take a break from Florence. "

"On less than 24 hours notice, Sara agreed to organized a delightful tour of the walled city of Lucca showcasing the unique foods, and wines of the regions. In many of the establishments we met the passionate owners and witnessed their preparations for us. Food, wine and many treats. Sara was so knowledgeable about Lucca and shared much of its history with enthusiasm and humour. We had a wonderful time while there. "

"Beatrice was an efficient, capable, personable and pleasant tour guide before, during, and after our trip. She helped us navigate by train from Florence to Pistoia, where she met us. Beatrice shared with us in a knowledgeable way the information she had about Pistoia’s history and culture, and took us to really interesting spots there including the Duomo, Baptistery, and a local bar/cafe with lots of history, where we enjoyed delicious coffee and pastries. Being a Saturday, we also walked through the local open-air Saturday market, which was very colorful and enjoyable. After a satisfying tour, Beatrice took us to a little place to get a local focaccia to-go, and then helped us get tickets to Lucca, our next destination. We were very pleased with our tour of Pistoia, and our choice of Beatrice as a tour guide, and highly recommend both! Laura "

"I had a wonderful time with Beatrice. She was on time to meet me, she was warm and friendly and very knowledgeable about our destination. I learned alot and felt like a local!"

"Wonderfully warm personality, extremely knowledgeable, very good English, first class guide. "

"Roberto ist ein sehr netter Gastgeber. Er hat uns einen Parkplatz empfohlen und uns in einem Restaurant einen Tisch gebucht, in welchem er uns dann auch zuverlässig abgeholt hat. Er ist ein sehr erfahrener Guide. Er hat in Pisa eine tolle Tour rund um die Kirche und den schiefen Turm gemacht. Dabei haben wir immer wieder kleine Stops gemacht, an welchem er uns interessante und nette Geschichten rund um Pisa erzählt hat. Weiterhin konnten wir kostenlos in die Kirche und bekamen von Ihm alle Fragen erklärt. Auch für unsere beiden Kids wurde es bei Ihm nie langeweilig. Ich kann Roberto nur empfehlen. Ein ganz netter Mensch und ein toller und kompetenter Guide!"
