Terrible

2.00I often take a food tour in cities but this one was very disappointing . The foods tasted were normal everyday food . We learnt very little . 3 of the tastings were done standing in the street in very high temperatures . There were 4 of us and we were joined by 2 others . The dynamic was slow and rather boring . The guide was very inexperienced and didn’t add much to the evening . Not worth the money .
Good first look at Lucca’s foods

5.00Quick overview of some of Lucca’s “famous” spots! Our guide Denia was a fun local who gave us insight into many of the restaurants in town. Now I want to go back and enjoy a full meal, especially at Trattoria da Giulia!
It’s always about good food!!!

5.00We had a fabulous time doing the Lucca food tour!!! Our guide, Sacha, was everything!!! She was the perfect balance of chill, cool vibes but let’s get to the good places!!! She spoiled us with incredible locations and authentic Lucca favorites while providing information along the way. It was a lovely time and a highlight of our visit to charming Lucca. She was also so kind as to provide foodie spots in neighboring cities we were going to.
Love Lucca and it’s food

5.00We very much enjoyed our food tour with Denia. We’d literally just arrived by train, dumped our bags and met up with her. There are so many food options so it was lovely to hear from a local what they like to eat and where. I wondered if we’d get enough to eat but there was ample! All the food was delicious and traditional and we learnt a little about this special town along the way.
Fun time with delicious food

5.00Lucca is a fabulous place that will capture anyone’s heart. Nicolleta was our guide on this tasting experience. We learned more about some of the sites of the city through her passionate eyes. This tour throws you comfortably into the culture of this warm and enchanting city. We attended with our two sons who are 21 and 18. It was a great way to celebrate this special place.
A delightful evening in Lucca sampling local cuisine and learning about this beautiful city.

5.00What a fun way to be introduced to Lucca! Denia, our local guide, shared history and insights as we tried the typical fare. It truly was a complete meal, from appetizer to dessert. She was even able to accommodate my food allergy. Highly recommended for any visitor to Lucca!
