About
La Giunchiglia came into being in Lucca in the early 1980s. It was set up by a group of young art history students who simply loved their home town and wanted to devote their future and make a career out of making its history and art better known organizing Walking tours of Lucca. Lucca was scarcely known on the tourist track at that time and opportunities for having the pleasure of showing it to visitors were few, so many of us were soon forced to turn to other cultural activities and ended up acting as tour guides as a hobby. We increased our knowledge of Lucca and the surrounding area by going to different courses and finding out more and more about our history, art, archaeology, botany, traditions and the things that are produced here, such as wine and extra virgin olive oil. We tried to focus on everything that would enhance the quality of our tours, and to promote Lucca through the Web. In the last few years, La Giunchiglia introduced all the other Tuscan provinces: Florence, Siena, Pisa, Arezzo, Grosseto, Livorno, Massa Carrara, Pistoia and Prato. We are able to create customized tours in every of these historical sites or help you in creating the perfect tour for you and you family, or for your group. Ours ...is a passion that became the best job we could possibly have in our beloved land, Tuscany and we want to share it with everyone who comes to visit!

Even though it was pouring rain the day of our tour we had a great time! We went both to a winery and then toured Lucca. We could not ride bikes because of the rain but we were still able to climb the wall and go through the streets and squares.
Giovanni, our driver, was wonderful and Tiziano was amazing.

We had an excellent experience in Lucca! Our tour guide, Claudia, was wonderful. She agreed to do our tour a day early to take advantage of good weather and avoid rain on our scheduled day. She provided great info about Lucca and had a very pleasant demeanor. Ida was excellent to deal with by email prior to our visit to book the best tour for us. I highly recommend this company and in particular, this tour! Thanks!

Eleanor speaks both beautiful Italian and English ! She was raised in Lucca and lives within its walls. She is well versed in its vast and interesting history and can also guide you to how to best see this beautiful city and enjoy the food and shopping in the Lucca of today.

I have been to Lucca several times before a recent trip my wife and I took. I learned so much more about this quaint, historically significant town than I had on any previous trips (and in reading various tour guides, other literature on the town) during Eleanor's captivating tour. I highly recommend Eleanor and this tour to truly experience the rich historical tapestry that is contained within Lucca's walls, and for all sorts of insight on the great gelato, food, and other curiosities within those walls.

This was our first visit to Lucca, and it was made extra-special by Eleanor, our tour guide. She was extremely knowledgeable, providing in-depth insight into its history, architecture, culture, shopping, restaurants, etc. As we walked the wall and streets, she pointed out interesting homes, cathedrals, buildings and sights. Her English and Italian were exquisite, as well as her witty sense of humour. She quickly assessed our interests, answered our questions and met our needs. Her understanding of American and European lifestyles and cultures was evident in her thoughtful, professional manner. She enhanced our visit to Lucca and made it very memorable. She also provided great information on Pisa, Florence and other areas. She is indeed the best tour guide in Italy!!!

Each year I travel with a group of students throughout Italy and we tour many areas with guides from many different regions. In our experience our tours with the guides at La Giunchiglia are by far the best and consequently we have used their services for many years. They love Lucca and take great pleasure in sharing the history of this beautiful little city, its culture and the wonderful villas that surround it. Having a guide or guides who are passionate about the area and subject matter they are presenting really makes a tour engaging. This is of particular importance when dealing with a group of students. One of the most unique aspects is their ability to answer questions and engage in discussion beyond the standard tour presentation which is not found with many other guiding services that tend to simply follow a script. Every year our visit to Lucca and our tour with La Giunchiglia is one of the highlights of our tour of Italy. I highly recommend La Giunchiglia if you are looking for a genuine experience of Lucca, provided at a surprisingly reasonable price. You will likely fall in love with Lucca just as I have...

Hello Annalee, we apologize for the delay but for some reason, we cancealed the notification from Trip Advisor. Well, you may have a private tour for you, it would cost 125,00 euro for three hours, but there's also another option: on weekend, at 2 pm, there is a guided tour of the city of Lucca organized by the tousist information office. It costs 12,00 euro and it lasts 2 hours. It's spoken into 2 languages and you join a group of people that have your same We remain at your complete disposal for any further info!!! Thank you!

Hi, We are a party of 11 friends who are all interested in art and architecture and who have travelled to Italy together several times before. We have visited Venice, Mantua, Vicenza and Ferrara and we are now considering visiting Lucca staying for three nights. Can your tour guides accommodate 11 adults and is it possible to have tours longer than two or three hours? Delphina
