Emma was very knowledgable, great company and interesting to spend time with. Really friendly and made us feel at ease immediately. We wandered the sites and took in all the sounds and flavours of the city. We visited restaurants, cafes, bars, wines bars and gelatos - most of which we wouldn’t have discovered for ourselves - some real hidden gems. We enjoyed each immensely and realised Emma had worked out our interests and took us to the places that best matched. Pisa can take a bit of working out. Save yourselves the hassle, book a tour with Emma. Our food tour of Pisa with Emma

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

We had a really fun—and delicious—time in Lucca with Sara. She showed us many unique spots in the city and let us taste local specialties, and we also visited places that aren’t very touristy, which made them all the more enjoyable. With all her knowledge, enthusiasm, and flexibility, time just flew by; highly recommended!A very nice (tasty) time in Lucca

We very much enjoyed the 3 hour walking tour through Pisa with Petra. She blended her knowledge about history, art, architecture, culture, traditions and modern living in the city in a very entertaining and stimulating way. Her tour found the right balance between the top sights, the more hidden spots and the beauty of the wider city. She was very flexible to adjust the tour to our interests and was happy to address all our questions. We left her tour inspired to read more about the city. Happy to recommend her guide service. Very enjoyable and interesting tour

Our little group of 4 met up with Maria at Torre delle Ore and I could tell right then it would be a great walking tour! We knew very little about Lucca and Maria made us discover this beautiful Tuscany town at a leisurely pace with lots of bits of history and fun facts. If you’re looking for a walking tour in Lucca - Maria’s your guide!A fun way to discover Lucca!

We had a fantastic private tour of Pisa with Petra on the Highlights & Hidden Gems of Pisa experience. Petra was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel at ease straight away. Her knowledge of the city’s history, culture, and lesser-known stories brought Pisa to life in such an engaging way. The balance of famous sights and hidden corners was perfect, and the pace of the tour felt just right, relaxed but full of fascinating insights. (… and the cakes were delicious) We came away with a much deeper appreciation of Pisa than we ever could have on our own. Highly recommended for anyone wanting more than just the Leaning Tower!A real appreciation of Pisa

We had a great food tour of Pisa with Emma who adapted it to suit a gluten free participant in our group and small children. We learned some interesting history and explored the lesser beaten streets of Pisa which is more than just the leaning tower. It also enabled us to go to places and taste food we wouldn’t normally have chosen had we been on our own, a real bit of Pisa. Highly recommend and we have great memories. Grazie Emma !Interesting and adapted food tour

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

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

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 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!

We had a wonderful time in Italy, but without a doubt, one of the highlights of our trip was the tour with Emma. Her food tour was not only steeped with Italian history and lessons in the language, but also on the local culture. Emma went above + beyond to personalize the experience based on our interests and preferences. It was a thoughtful tour through the citys culinary “landscape”, with a perfect balance of sweet + savory, w/ wine tasting, and visits to hidden gems we never would have found on our own. Yay! Emma herself was a delight— she was outgoing, friendly, and effortlessly funny. She exudes a charm that is distinctly Italian, blending warmth + wit in a way that made us feel immediately at ease. Her humor was infectious, and her passion for sharing the local food and culture left us wanting more. It wasn’t just a tour; it felt like we were exploring with a friend; really!What A Time!
