      Highlight of our trip!
      This was a highlight of our trip! She is a delight and very easy to understand. We enjoyed the lighthearted tour through the streets of Lucca, enjoying the historical sites and local community vibe.

      Superb! Superb! Superb!
      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.

      Great fun!
      We truly enjoyed our carriage ride with Monica and her horse Luigi. It’s hard to say which of the two is the star of the show They were both delightful. This is a great way to get a tour of beautiful Lucca.

      Amazing Family Carriage Ride
      Absolutely amazing. The horse Luigi is the most beautiful creature. We had so much fun. Especially when he kept stopping at different shops for treats. Amazing. The tour was great, such a beautiful city and the guide was lovely, so friendly and knowledgeable. If you have time this is a must of you visit Lucca.

      Carriage ride - a delightful tour
      This was a perfect way to see the layout of the center of Lucca. The guide, a very competent horse person, provided many details about Lucca that explained the development of the center and included structures that added to understanding the center. It was added joy to see children’s eyes light up when they saw the horses. And I knew that the horse knew where it could stop for treats but that was still fun to watch. Highly recommend the carriage ride.

      Fabulous
      Had a ride booked for the afternoon but the summer heat got too hot so the owner contacted us directly to change the time. Thank goodness. At 0900 it was ideal, we would have fried in the afternoon. Mainly of course the time was changed for Luigi the adorable horse. Unlike many cities and towns there only seems to be one operator so need to book. The carriage driver was brilliant at telling us about Luca and the history. Hilarious to see Luigi make his regular stops for snacks. Even at one point putting his head into a cafe and scaring a leaving customer! A must do in Lucca and glad to see the horses ( she has two who take turns) are looked after so well.

      Superb way to see the lovely city of Lucca. Marika is knowledgeable, friendly and helpful and Luigi (the star of the show) is a real character and seeing people's responses to him as he walked around the city was wonderful. If you've got limited time to spend in this lovely city then take this tour.

      Interesting and fun tour
      Great tour! We learned a lot and had fun and laughs too. Marika is a wonderful tour guide, she told us many interesting things about Lucca and the history. She was also very flexible and waited until the rain stopped to start our tour. Her horse Mario also made the ride fun. Our kids learned and were entertained as well. A good deal for the price too. Book this tour!

      Must do experience in Lucca
      This young lady and her horse are the best thing going in Lucca. The cost is low and the value high. They took us through many areas with excellent commentary at a leisurely pace that didn’t tire our legs. On a return trip I would certainly book her again.

      The best way to see Lucca!
      Fabulous from start to finish! I booked this to treat my daughter as she loves horses and made sure this was a well cared for one...which Mario was. Great tour of the city with lots of interesting information which we wouldnt have got by wandering around on our own. Driver and horse were a delight and as we got longer than expected, was good value for money. Could do it all over again!

      Don’t miss this tour!
      We absolutely loved Marina, the famous Luigi and this wonderful tour. We learned so much about Lucca, we were totally entertained by Luigi’s visits for snacks, and so impressed with both Marika’s knowledge of the town and history as well as her beautiful relationship with her horse. The verbal commands were astounding! Overall, 100% recommend.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    I am very sorry that my colleague did not live up to your expectations. I apologize for the inconvenience, but unfortunately I was replaced temporarily as I had health problems that did not allow me to be present at work. Anyway, thanks for your review, it will be a point of reflection to improve the service with my colleague. Marika
