Lucca city tour
This place is a hidden gem. It’s among the few cities that preserve its renaissance walls completely intact (now a beautiful path of almost 4 km to walk).
We’ll have a walk through the old town, with its medieval towers and nearly 100 churches (don’t worry, we’re not going to see all of them!).
The Duomo, Lucca’s romanesque cathedral, dates from the 12th century and features a façade with elaborate reliefs and columns. The Gothic interior includes an image of Christ on the cross, supposedly carved by Nicodemus, a witness of the crucifixion. In 2020 it was discovered that it is the oldest wooden sculpture in the West.
That’s 1 of the 3 most important monuments of the city, do you wanna know which are the others?
Duration: about 2.30 hours
Price for the tour:
1-14 participants: 165 € + the cost of the earpieces from 5 people onwards (€ 2 per person)
15-25 participants: 330 € + the cost of the earpieces (€ 2 per person)

The little Athens
The fascinating city of Pietrasanta, just 40 min from Lucca, it’s the perfect destination for art enthusiasts, both classic and contemporary. A place that gathers artists from all across the world, a true hub for international sculpture.
In recent decades, Pietrasanta has become an open-air museum, where visitors can admire uninterrupted expositions of contemporary art and sculpture of the highest levels.
Known as “the little Athens” thanks to the concentration of artists that have decided to settle down here over the years (like Igor Mitoraj and Fernando Botero).
In the main square we’ll find the Cathedral of San Martino, which, overlooking the beautiful piazza Duomo, conserves prestigious artworks and its bell tower is stunning. Did you know that maybe Michelangelo projected it?
Duration: about 2 hours. By request we can also attend a demonstration of marble work in an artisan workshop.
Price for the tour:
1-14 participants: 140 €
15-25 participants: 280 €
