Lucca's walls remain in place after centuries and surround the entire city. They are some 20 feet high from the inside, reached by several reasonably sloped on-ramps. On the outside the town is surrounded mostly by meadows some 40-60 feet below your path. It's a great way to get the feel of the city which, retaining its medieval character, is a maze of streets winding through 3- and 4-story buildings and makes it difficult to absorb more than the block you are standing in. You can of course shorten your walk by cutting directly across the city at some point instead of making the entire circuit.

Our tour guide Nadia was so knowledgeable! She knew so much history. She was very passionate about the city and its history. We learn so much and saw things that were so much more amazing because of her explanations.

This was a perfect tour. There were only two couples plus our guide. She paid great attention to us as we walked around this beautiful city.

We hired bicyles and cycled round the walls (4km) but also lovely to walk round entire old city along these walls -takes about an hour)

A great way to travel thru the streets of Lucca. Our guide Antoinelle was wonderful with so many stories about Lucca through the centuries, its history and its people. Took the train from Florence and we’ll worth the effort.

This is probably my favorite things that I did in Tuscany! It was so fun getting to stop and buy different local food from the area, as opposed to other tours that just go over the history.

We were the only people on this walking tour. Our guide Chiara was prompt and kept us moving at a comfortable pace, allowing for stops to take photos or answer our questions. She was very knowledgeable about the history and architecture of Lucca. Great way to start your visit to Lucca.
