Description
On a private tour of Lucca with a qualified guide, the itinerary belongs to you. The guide adapts the route to the time you have and to what you like, and tells the history, the curiosities and the legends of the places along the way. The tour lasts about two hours.
You begin on the Renaissance walls, which are intact and unique. From the top the guide explains how Lucca defended itself, and you get a panorama of the town below.
Then you go down into the old town, through narrow medieval streets to Piazza dell'Anfiteatro, with its distinctive elliptical shape. Other stops include:
- Guinigi Tower, with the trees growing on top
- Torre delle Ore
- St. Martin's Cathedral, with its decorated facade
- the Church of San Michele
The main street, lined with historic shops, leads past the statue of Giacomo Puccini, who was born in Lucca. After you book, the guide contacts you to arrange the final details, so remember to leave your phone number.
