Tour description
Lucca is a city best explored through its flavors, and on this walking tour, a local foodie guide will lead you through the markets, food streets, and culinary traditions that shape daily life here. Rather than historic monuments, this stroll introduces you to the tastes, aromas, and stories centered around the everyday table.
You will wander through the central market among produce and spice stalls, discover where locals buy bread, cheese, and sweets, and learn about the iconic food and drinks that define Lucca. Along the way, your guide will share culinary history and recommend the best local specialties to try. Rich and authentic, this is Lucca seen through a culinary lens.
