Lucca is a fabulous city! Sadly we had fairly heavy rain for our evening tour, however Sara was amazing! She was able to guide us to sheltered spots so that she could share her intriguing stories with us. Her knowledge of the history and culture of the areas was so enjoyable! I hope we have the opportunity to visit Lucca again- we would definitely book a tour with Sara again! Beautiful evening!

We spent 3 hours on a food tour with Sara. Even before the tour she was extremely flexible with our timing and the need to change days. She also met us at our apartment instead of the more distant meeting place. Sara has a great sense of humor and, along with some Lucca history, she taught us about little tidbits of local lore. We tasted some Lucca specialties along with gelato and chocolates. She also brought us to an artisan shop where the proprietor was actually working at her old fashioned loom making some of her beautiful wares. We really appreciated the touch of local color. We finished the tour with a light lunch of Tordelli Lucchese and delicious Frontanoio soup. A tour with Sara would be especially good for history buffs!Delightful guide

Sara guided us through Lucca for over 3 hours and did a fantastic job at providing a highlight of the town. She is knowledgeable, funny, and goes the extra mile to ensure you have a good experience. She even did a little extra research for us on a very niche topic we were interested in. Wonderful Private Tour!

We spent a couple hours with Sara yesterday getting an overview of Pisa, spending more time focused on the areas outside the Field of Miracles. While that tourist Mecca is gorgeous and interesting, we also enjoyed learning about everyday life of locals in Pisa. Sara is a great spokesperson for her city and her love for it shines through all of her stories. We thoroughly enjoyed getting to know Sara a bit and spending time in her lovely city. Fun, Fun, Fun!!!

We all enjoyed our afternoon with Sara! She was engaging, witty, clearly intelligent and well-informed, and willing to adjust in the moment to our specific interests. Her professionalism shone through - in how she communicated with us, in the pacing of the tour, and in her balanced presentation of the history and culture of Lucca. Despite our jet-lagged brains, intermittent rain, and the press of other visitors, we concluded the tour with a deeper understanding of Lucca during the Roman, Medieval, and Renaissance eras. It was a great introduction to the city and it continued to feed our curiosities as we explored Lucca during the week of our visit. Thank you Sara!A Great Introduction to Lucca

We had the pleasure of taking a 3 hour tour in Lucca with Sara! She did an excellent job to show us the ancient parts of lucca, shared a lot of fascinating facts and little-known details about Lucca and it's friendship with the neighbouring town of Pisa ;-) Our big group - though no everybody spoke fluently english - was impressed and delighted. She took care of everybody though we were may and was flexible and kind. Thank you, Sara, for making this tour so memorable for all of us. We can highly recommend her.Perfect to get acquainted with lucca

We LOVE Sara! What do you do with teenagers in Pisa besides eating lots of pizza? You ask Sara to explain all about her city! The history, the drama, the secrets that can be found on and in the old buildings and our favourite 🤩 the food. Local biscuits, cecina, gelato. We’re sold on all of them and no complaints from the teenagers either 😉It made oir trip to Pisa really special!

If only we had booked a tour with Sara on our first day in Lucca! We then would have booked her for every day of our two week trip in Italy. Sure, her family would miss her but we’d be happy as clams laughing everyday as she shared funny stories and customs of her fellow Italians. We have been to Italy a dozen times and grown up in Italian American families but still Sara could tell us stories never heard before - so many tiny but spicy details that make any travel experience richer. Obviously we loved Sara for her depth of knowledge , her sense of humor, her light touch and her ability to tailor a tour to match our varied interests and abilities. You will love her too! Our best day!

Sara explained in immaculate English the historical significance of places, buildings and ornamentation on them, as well as taking us to some delightful shops, cafes and restaurants. Her lovely, kind personality and humour made the whole experience so much more entertaining. We would highly recommend Sara as a guide and this tour in particular. Fun and informative

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!

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!
