This is a brilliant way to see Lucca, Marika is an excellent guide and clearly passionate about her city. We stopped numerous times allowing Marika to take to explain the history, which also gives our friend Luigi the horse time to rest from the heat. Luigi seems to be a celebrity, with 100’s of people taking his picture. We couldn’t recommend this enough, really enjoyable, entertaining and informative. Thank you Marika and Luigi !

The tour operator did not let us know that they would not be able to provide this booked and paid for tour!! Another tour operator with limited English assisted us and did their best but we do not believe we received what was promoted was what we received! Save your money!

The tour was excellent and a great way to start our Lucca experience. Very informative and a fun way to see the main sights. Mario was adorable

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience than with Marika and Mario (the horse)! Marika was so knowledgeable and great with our two young daughters - Mario is a local celebrity and made stops for snacks at local bars and restaurants as he gently walked us through the entire walled city and on a beautiful ride atop the city walls. It is a perspective of the city you can’t get any other way and should not be missed!

Wonderful! This is the best way to easily get to know Lucca by open horse carriage. Marika deftly informed us of historical facts whilst guiding her sweet horse, Luigi at a slow pace all around the city & walls. Plenty of time for questions & photos. There is just no better way to tour Lucca! We are ladies of a certain age & could happily have done it every single day & saved out feet from cobblestones. LOL Seriously, DO NOT MISS this gentle & fun way to tour around Lucca. It is perfection. Delightful & well worth the cost! Molto Grazie, Marika (& Luigi!). We shall return!

Absolutely superb way to spend a morning! We could not have chosen better! Our carriage was pulled by Luigi who is quite a character in himself, knowing where to stop on route for little treats from the shop owners. Even pawing at the ground and tapping with his hoof to ask for the next treat! The ride itself was brilliant and our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly and what a way to see a city, in and around all the narrow streets it was really something special! After the streets we went up on the city walls and it was beautifully tranquil and relaxing with Luigi pulling us at a gentle walk Luigi knew what was expected of him and behaved himself wonderfully. If you get the opportunity to take this ride definitely go for it.

THIS IS A MUST AS SOON AS YOU REACH LUCCA! Marika our tour guide was amazing, she was friendly , knowledgeable and speaks perfect English, Luigi the horse was the highlight of the tour! Such a smart horse, so glad we did it

Marika was very responsive with communication. Additionally she was and adaptable to our needs with regards to timing. She left us with a charming memory of Lucca

Amazing! We learned so much about the city of Lucca and it was a wonderful, relaxing way to cover a lot of ground. The horses are well taken care of. I think this may be the only operator in Lucca.

This was a huge hit with the whole family. We enjoyed getting an overview of the old city and a little history of the area. It is a beautiful town and this was a magnificent way to see it. Our lovely driver was able to answer some general questions about what we were seeing (for example, what are the iron pieces set into the walls of the buildings?) The horse is obviously pampered and seems popular around town— he stopped twice to get treats from shop keepers.

If you're reading this, yes, buy! This is your sign! Marika is friendly, knowledgeable, and will ultimately amplify your Lucca experience.

My sister recommended this at the last minute, so we booked it and are delighted that we did! The history was incredibly interesting and we learned a lot about the culture of the people. We were able to take in so much more of this beautiful little city and enjoyed the romance of a carriage ride. It was like we were back in time. Marika was very friendly, knowledgeable, helped us with some Italian pronunciations and took our pictures. Her and Luigi were the best tour guides and I highly recommend!

One of the most interesting and fun tours we’ve ever been on. Loved it, learned so much and would recommend it to anyone

A total delight!!! This was a highlight of our trip! The history and orientation of Lucca was the best. Totally recommend!

My wife, Lynn, and I had been in Lucca for a couple of weeks and had done some exploring of the sites on our own. So, when two friends of ours decided to come to Lucca for a few days to visit us, I arranged this tour for the four of us. We were all so glad we did. The tour was absolutely amazing. Marika, our tour guide, was great. She is very knowledgeable about Lucca and imparted this information in an interesting and fun format. We all learned a lot about Lucca, its many churches, and its fascinating history. We were able to see a lot more of the city than if we were on a walking tour. I highly recommend Marika’s horse drawn carriage tour when visiting Lucca.
