The tour was very very enjoyable. The choice of restaurants and food shops were great but particularly Alessandra, who was knowledgeable about the food of the region and happy to answers all our questions. I liked her wide knowledge about life in Italy which increased my enjoyment of the tour.

Alessandra made the tour interesting and informative. The food was great in all five venues visited. The tour lasted 3.5 hours and was at a leisurely pace. Would thoroughly recommend it.

Fun tour. So much food. Very informative about the life in Lucca up to present day. Even added in stops we requested. Highly recommend this! I will try making the parpedelli at home!

My wife and I booked this tour as it leant more towards food first with a good dose of history thrown in which is exactly what we wanted. Or guide was Nicoletta and right from the start she was friendly, professional and was easy to talk too. We were with one other couple and that made it even better as we had fun access to talk to her throughout as well as to each other. We made 5 stops in total; do not eat a large breakfast! These covered the different aspects of Tuscan cuisine from aperitivo through meat dishes, snacks and desserts. Throughout, Nicoletta explained the history and culture behind them keeping us engaged throughout at each stop the staff were very welcoming. Nicoletta also works for a winery and we are looking to arrange a visit as this is her area of expertise. Overall with good food, wine, information, and also some recipes sent after the tour, just book the tour and if you get Nicoletta you won't be disappointed. Thumbs up from me and my wife.

What a fabulous experience! I would highly recommend this to anyone who is visiting Lucca! Not only did we get to sample the Tuscan delights, we also had a great tour of the city, Valentina was lovely, knowledgable and told us a lot about the history of Lucca. I can’t wait to come back again.

WOW! Nicolleta was an amazing guide! The food was incredible. Her historical knowledge of the area was fabulous. We ate and learned a ton! We will be back to Lucca and will do this again for sure!

Lynn_H

Certainly it was our guide. So free with information and her experience, very personable. A winemaker herself, we found this aspect of the tour invaluable and we wished more wine had been included in order to learn from her!

Judith_E

We had a phenomenal day with Valentina! She was so knowledgeable and patient with our large group of 10. We toured the city, stopped for photos and enjoyed all 6 places on the circuit. You will not be disappointed!

Lucca food tour with Valentina was great. It was just the two of us on a Sunday. One of our party had a knee injury and Valentina was considerate and gave options in distance and walked slowly. Loved the Cecina - and the owner’s description of a secret chickpea society. He has an air horn to compete with the repetitive busking music. Great orientation for the rest of our stay. Generous food and interesting facts. Well done Valentina.
