Join us for an interesting morning walking tour that will dive you into the history, the art and also the food culture of our fascinating city. This experience is a perfect introduction to the city that you will discover from different points of view. We look forward to letting you experience a chill-out tour seen from a local perspective.
Our foodie experience starts at the train station and in a few steps, we’ll reach the outstanding walls: here your guide will introduce you to Lucca, its history and its people. We will rise till the top of the fortification and we will enjoy a short stroll on the popular pedestrian promenade: You can admire gorgeous urban vistas of the historic centre and the surrounding landscapes, listening to interesting stories and funny anecdotes under the shade of ancient trees.
After a pleasant walk we’ll need to relax and taste the first Lucca-style breakfast in a glamorous pastry shop! You will discover the delicious taste of our cakes, biscuits and sweets paired with an Italian espresso or cappuccino (in certain times of the year, breakfast can be replaced by gelato as a final stop). You will learn about Italian breakfast or gelato traditions and the importance we give to this ritual moment of the day.
With the caffeine and sugar fuelling us we will head towards the main religious square to admire the majestic Cathedral dedicated to San Martino that is a masterpiece of Romanesque architecture you can't miss.
You will make your own way to the meeting points
