We bought this tour from Viator, my first time using the company. The operator/driver was great at contacting us to make final arrangements especially as the weather was changeable. The tour was excellent, informative and relaxing and the horse was just lovely. We were picked up at our hotel in the center of Lucca and delivered back after a very relaxing and enjoyable time.

4. Tuscan Wine Tour in Lucca by shuttle
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 6 reviews
The only authentic wine tour in Lucca. Two wineries. Two different ways of making wines, different opinions, and different methods, but united by the same aim: producing the best wine of Lucca. I will pick you up at your accommodation with my van, and I will drive you through the hills of Tuscany. For every winery we will visit the cellar where you will discover all the secrets about Tuscan wine, thanks to the explanations and the life stories of the farmers. Than, you will taste 3 wines of the production. Every wine will be matched with products from the garden and some specialties, like finocchiona or pecorino cheese, plus a final dessert... a dip in the Tuscan table culture! You won't be hungry :) "It's not just drinking wine: we want to make you know the real Tuscany and to tell you the story of our roots" N.B.: ! The price includes the transportation and the guided tour, but not the cost of the tastings: you will pay 15€ per person at every winery, directly on the spot !
Inclusions: Private transportation, Guided Tour on the hills of Tuscany, Bottled water

We used Tommaso for a ladies trip to Tuscany in September. He provided airport transfers to and from Pisa to our hotel in Florence as well as a half day tour in Chianti with some stops for wine tasting. Tommaso and his colleague were punctual, extremely friendly and helpful, spoke very good English and offered very competitive rates. I would recommend him to anyone needing transport in the area. Thank you for a brilliant few days!

Did this tour in the summer of 2019 (not 2020) with our extended family, led by Luca and Chiara. It was such a fun and memorable experience. The bikes were in great condition. The guides were so helpful and informative and the treats we stopped to enjoy were fabulous. We also did their Pisa tour with them too, to make it a very full day. We loved every minute. Thanks Luca and Chiara and we wish you great success with your new company. Can't wait to return to Tuscany!

Tour Date: THURSDAY, 2nd May 2019 (The date required by Tripadvisor doesn't go back before Covid times)... My guide, Diletta arrived at our meeting point at the elected time. No one else joined the tour which was great; I could practise my Italian and ask lots of questions. From the train station, we walked past the majestic city walls and enjoyed a view of Lucca before diving into local life. Our first food stop was in a local bakery. My mouth watered as we entered Pizza da Felice. First tasting, Cecina (che chen a); a wonderful tasty light chick pea flatbread, best eaten hot. Next, a slice of pizza washed down with a glass of Melotti beer; now under the name of the Dutch Heineken umbrella. Piazza Antelminelli was our next stop and the site of the beautiful Romanesque marble Cattedrale di San Martino. The Cathedral was built during the 6th century, at that period the most central and important areas were already too congested, hence it’s unusual location. At first glance the square appears a bit devoid of character with its wide-open spaces and different architectural styles and buildings from different eras, but wait and you will soon feel how the Duomo emanates a soft tranquillity. We then headed to a favourite local spot: San Michele in Foro Square. This is where locals come to meet up with one another, typically for a friendly chat in a nice coffee bar. Located in the centre is Chiesa di San Michele in Foro, a Roman Catholic basilica church. It is built over the ancient Roman forum. Until 1370 it was the seat of the Consiglio Maggiore (Major Council), the commune's most important assembly. It is dedicated to Archangel Michael. Lucca’s locals love going for Aperitivo after work, meeting with friends and spending a few hours indulging in a glass of good wine and some savoury snacks. And because this tour is all about showing me how the locals live, we stop at an old vineria called Vinarkia Della Pavona della sophi s.n.c. This is a small wine bar typical of the Tuscan tradition. It was pleasant sitting in the outside courtyard, chatting to Diletta. She made it feel like friends hanging out while also giving great information about Lucca. The glass of Vermentino and the generous Aperitivo were equally enjoyable. Our third stop was the Farmacia located in Piazza San Michele. In 1855, this beautiful Art Nouveau pharmacy was the scene of Doctor Pasquale Massagli’s new concoction, a quina elixir named China Massagli. It is prepared with cinchona bark, which arrives directly from the Amazon rainforest. The bark is put to macerate in pure alcohol and decalcified water, together with aromatic herbs and officinal roots. After a long period, during which it is emulsified and filtered twice, the elixir is ready to be consumed, even in long drinks with ice, both as an aperitif and a digestif. We continued through the city as she pointed out the history of the towers and all that Lucca has to offer. Lastly, we stopped in the beautiful square for our final Aperitivo. After a few minutes of walking through the attractive streets, we reached Amphitheatre Square, the only oval square in Italy that takes the place of the typical Roman amphitheatre. We stopped here at Bollicina, finally relaxing with a glass of Monte Carlo Rossi Dating back to the year 846, and of course, a side of pepper, prosciutto, pecorino cheese chicken liver pate and mushroom pate.

Fascinating tour, led by Carlo. Carlo is very knowledgeable about WWII but was also able to explain the big strategies and local involvement in a way that was interesting and engaging. We spent quite a bit of time in the small museum, learning about the Gothic Line and some of the local individuals that participated in the war activities. Then we headed out to two nearby bunkers. He led us through the bunkers so that we could understand their purpose, construction, and impact.

Wish we had read the reviews before booking. Palermo is quite small and most the main sights are very central, so you don’t really need a bus tour. However, even if you are not keen on walking, the bus tour will be of little use, as the advertised ‘hop on, hop off, every 20 minutes’ is simply untrue. The bus only arrives every 90 minutes (we lunched in a restaurant next to the stop we alighted from and that was the time gap). In addition, there is no access to a live map for bus arrivals, so you have no idea when the next bus will arrive. In a nutshell, it’s a rip off.
