Experience food tours in
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!"

"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!"

"She is an exceptional guide! Kind, social and fascinating! Loved the experience! 10/10/10!"

"Delicious food with a top-notch history tour!!"

"Sara was a wonderful guide for our private group of 4. She was friendly, knowledgeable and spoke excellent English. She was also good fun and soon tuned in to our Northern Irish humour ! I would certainly recommend the tasting tour of Lucca and indeed any tour that Sara leads. Thanks again Sara for a great day in Lucca. "

"Our tour with Maria Lucrezia was a highlight of our trip. I'm so glad we scheduled at the beginning of our visit to Lucca. She was warm, knowledgable, and a lot of fun! The blend of food experiences, sightseeing, history, and just getting the lay of the land was perfect. We felt ready and excited to explore further on our own afterward. All of the ideas she gave us, from fabulous restaurants and gelato, to climbing to the top of a couple of medieval towers, to visiting the Roman house museum, to walking the walls around the town, and I could go on, were just wonderful. Thank you, Maria Lucrezia, for being such a special moment in our trip to Italy!!"
