“We had the pleasure of having Sara as our guide during our tour of Lucca. It was brilliant, Sara’s passion for the city and its history was clear from the start. She brought the history of Lucca to life. We loved discovering hidden gems throughout the city that we would never have found on our own. Her knowledge and storytelling made the tour feel like a journey through time. We’d highly recommend Sara to anyone visiting Lucca — she’s the perfect guide to uncover the city’s secrets! Excellent

Petra is a wonderful guide. I am a travel advisor who sought out Petra’s services for clients visiting Pisa. She custom designed a tour for them, communicated with me each step of the way, coordinated with the drivers who were dropping off and picking up my clients and provided a great experience of Pisa. I highly recommend her and will use her again, Valerie BaldersonWonderful tour guide!

My husband and I had never been to Lucca, but had heard wonderful things about it from friends. We went on a private tour with Sara, and spent an enchanting few hours with her exploring the city. She was so knowledgeable about the history of the city, and her humor in telling us stories about what we were seeing added so much fun to the facts. We loved the way she would talk about the history of a place and then relate it to present day. We ended our tour with a delicious lunch at a restaurant she had reserved for us in the heart of the city. I highly recommend taking a private tour; and don’t forget to ask for Sara!!Lucca with Sara was Magic!

Super friendly Sara showed us around the walled city of Lucca, sharing her knowledge of how the city was built from roman and medieval times to current day. Walking us to historic churches and areas of the town we would not have found, pointing out historic details and telling the many stories of the rich history of Lucca! Enjoyed tasting local delicacy and appreciated and tried (!) the restaurant and café recommendations. A wonderful afternoon, thank you Sara.Wonderful afternoon in Lucca Sara!

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!!A Perfect Introduction to Lucca!

She tailored the tour to my interests in music, my dad’s interest in history and also to the general knowledge of the group really well with lots of great anecdotes and fascinating stories. I would most definitely recommend her. She was also quite brilliant at adapting her Italian to my level and still getting her message through in English. A lovely, good humoured lady!

I am really sorry but my wife and I found the experience to be very, very disappointing. We have booked a number of these food tours over the last 15 years and have found them to be progressively expensive but equally, worse value for money. Maria Lucrezia was very pleasant, very knowledgeable and easy company with good English. However, the key objective of our previous bookings had been to try local food in authentic restaurants we would have known about ourselves. On this occasion, we each had a single cappuccino, a single scoop of ice cream with whipped cream topping, a triangle of chickpea pizza dough, half of one chocolate, two thimbles of digestivo, three teaspooons of olive oil, four teaspoons of balsamic vinegar, a look in the cellar of a wine shop, one glass of red wine and we shared a portion of tortellini with ragu. My wife and I scored a 4 because Maria Lucretia was a good guide but the food experience itself was a 1.

We spent a fantastic day with Sara on a “hidden gems” personalised tour of Lucca. Sara Was knowledgeable, kind, engaging , and maintained interest for our teenage kids. She took us to local places to try delicacy such as Bucellato and Torta d’erbe, and even helped us book restaurants for dinner the night before and for lunch after the tour, which was incredibly helpful.. Highly recommended! She also does tours in Pisa and food tours. Wow 🤩!Fantastic personalised tour of Lucca

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! Fabulous Pisa tasting tour with Sara

Petra was great! She contacted us days before to inform us that the tower climb was fully booked but planned an exciting tour of the ground as a workaround and turned out better than the original plan. Having this private tour was fully worth every penny. Petra was extremely knowledgeable and pointed out some facts I could see other guides were missing. She has a real passion for art and being able to articulate what the artist was trying to show in their work while pointing out all of the hidden messages, is second to none. My 17 year old son days later was still stating facts he found most interesting. I cannot recommend Petra enough. Petra is great! Exceeded our expectations

Maria exceeded our expectations for the food and history tour. She told us interesting stories about the history of Lucca and included recent events as well. She included personal facts and told us about the daily life in Lucca. We all enjoyed the tour and food we ate. I texted her when we arrived in the city and she arrived early to start our tour because we had to end early. She was very accommodating. The places she chose for us to eat at had a good mix of food-she varied the sweet and savory flavors. I highly recommend. Wonderful tour in Lucca

Great tour guide - my friend recommended Petra as he had previously done a tour with her when he visited Pisa in the past. Petra is super knowledgable about the entire city of Pisa and knows all about the history of the major attractions ranging from the towers all the way to the individual buildings in the city square etc.. She also knows good restaurants in the area as well as where all the locals go to eat / drink / party on the weekend. She is super friendly and speaks great English so she can answer any questions you have. My visit to Pisa

We really enjoyed our 3 hours wandering the streets of Lucca with Sara. She is so personable, polite, and eager to please. She designed a tour to accommodate our wishes perfectly. She has a sense of humour that fitted in well with her explanations about why the Luchese designers did what they did. She touched several times on the rivalry between local citizens and those of Pisa. We would definitely book her again. Sara know Lucca!
