It was a great experience to walk up on Monte Pisano with Federica. She is a very experienced hiking guide and has an enormous knowledge of the flora and fauna and also of the history of her homeland. She is also very nice and warm person. By the way I'v got a free Italian course and lots of tips for the beautiful Lucca :-) If I should come to Lucca again, I would certainly book more excursion with her or Alessandro, it is worth it.
È stato veramente un piacere conoscerti :-)! Tanti saluti, Franziska

During our summer vacation we did a hike with Federica on the Monte Pisano Trail. Along the way, Federica introduced us to nature, explained herbs and plants, and explained the local wildlife. Our kids were just as excited as we were. Our children were particularly impressed by the explored cave, even if we did not see a bat. At the height of the ascent we had a great view over Pisa, Lucca to the sea. This break was rounded off by a small picnic with pastries from the region, which Federika had brought along. We had a wonderful trip and our children also took home lasting impressions. We became aware of the homepage during our independent research. The contact in advance and on site was uncomplicated and very cordial.

Ficamos encantados com as muralhas e o grande charme dessa cidade com tanta história. Nosso carro ficou em um estacionamento na rodoviária fora das muralhas, já que somente os moradores podem adentrar. Nosso hotel, Casa Paolina ficava bem no meio de uma praça cheia de vida, mas tudo bem silencioso a noite para dormir. Aconselho a todos a fazer essa descoberta também, ruelas, igrejas, restaurantes, música. Top
