Experience the best of
Lucca with Withlocals

"Maria Lucrezia was a wonderful and fun guide on our first full day in Lucca. She shared so many interesting stories of the city’s art, architecture and ancient history - and the tastings !! She made perfect selections. All the proprietors we met were as welcoming as she was. It was a perfect day. Highly recommended. Grazie Mille, Maria Lucrezia!"

"Right from the beginning, Emma introduced us to the charm of the locals in Pisa. We tasted different wines, cheeses, drinks and other foods along the way while learning the history of Pisa. We travelled off the beaten path and were able to see the true beauty of this Tuscany city. "

"We had a wonderful time in Italy, but without a doubt, one of the highlights of our trip was the tour with Emma. Her food tour was not only steeped with Italian history and lessons in the language, but also on the local culture. Emma went above + beyond to personalize the experience based on our interests and preferences. It was a thoughtful tour through the citys culinary “landscape”, with a perfect balance of sweet + savory, w/ wine tasting, and visits to hidden gems we never would have found on our own. Yay! Emma herself was a delight— she was outgoing, friendly, and effortlessly funny. She exudes a charm that is distinctly Italian, blending warmth + wit in a way that made us feel immediately at ease. Her humor was infectious, and her passion for sharing the local food and culture left us wanting more. It wasn’t just a tour; it felt like we were exploring with a friend; really!"

"We spent few hours in Lucca with Belinda! Her knowledge, love for her city and her sparkling personality made this tour a special one. We highly recommend her as a guide!"

"Our tour of Pistoia was fantastic, Beatrice our guide was very knowledgeable and very personable. Since my grandparents came from this city it made for a very satisfying day. We learn about the history, great pastry shops and had a delicious lunch in one of the squares."

"Super friendly Sara showed us around the walled city of Lucca, sharing her knowledge of how the city was built from roman and medieval times to current day. Walking us to historic churches and areas of the town we would not have found, pointing out historic details and telling the many stories of the rich history of Lucca! Enjoyed tasting local delicacy and appreciated and tried (!) the restaurant and café recommendations. A wonderful afternoon, thank you Sara."

"Sara was a delight — so fun and informative. She was flexible about our needs and desires and her stories made the time fly. Highly recommend! Thank you, Sara. "

"We had a fabulous tour with Maria Lucrezia. She was very knowledgeable, personable and easygoing, while tailoring the tour to what our little group was most interested in. We learned a lot of interesting things about Lucca’s past and present and enjoyed many delicious foods and drinks. Thank you Maria Lucrezia!!"

"We had a wonderful tour with Petra today!"

"Thank you Maria for a lovely wonder through Lucca listening to your amazing stories and knowledge. My favourite part was seeing the lady on the loom and purchasing a beautiful souvenir. My husband enjoyed talking with you about your life in Lucca. "
