Experience Food Tours in Lucca with Withlocals

"Sara was so wonderful to share the history of her city and the food with us and our children. We loved our time, the tasty bites, and stories shared. A must do if you are in Pisa! "

"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 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 were a group of 12 women (friends, relatives) who did the Pisa walking taste tour with Sara. Sara was a good communicator at the time of booking (where I could park & the meeting spot). She was on time to the meeting place and very friendly. She does a great job of explaining the local sites and taking you to some amazing places for tasting. We were all stuffed by the time our tour was over. We all loved Sara as our guide! 💕 I had previously visited Pisa in 2005 on a cruise ship stop on a Pisa tour booked through the ship. I did not want to return to Pisa because I was not impressed with my last visit, but the other 11 had not been to Pisa so we booked a tour with Sara. Having your own local guide makes a huge difference in the experience. I now love Pisa and would return again! "

"If we could make it an 11 we would! In spite of it being a rainy day, we had an incredible day of sunshine with Sara. Her knowledge, passion and personality captured our attention and hearts. If you want to enjoy a day of storytelling and tasting a wonderful selection of Lucca’s specialties, you must go with Sara. "

"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!"

"Wir hatten einen tollen Nachmittag mit Emma verbracht. Die kulinarische und historische Tour in Pisa war ein sehr schönes Erlebnis. Emma führte uns zu vielen Stationen mit besonderen Leckereien und tollen Getränken und zwischendurch haben wir auch sehr viel interessantes über die Architektur und Geschichte der Stadt erfahren. "

"We spent the morning in Lucca on a food tour with Sara and it was a highlight of our week in Italy. Great food stops, great history lessons of Lucca and area. We all could not recommend anyone higher. Book Sara for your tour!"
