Disrespectful local your guide in Lucca

The success of the tour is dependent on who is the local tour guide. The local Pisa guide was very informative but the local Lucca guide was horrible. He was constantly talking to a guest in Italian and did not provide guidance to other guests while speaking to the person. This happened multiple times and lasted for miner than a few minutes. While continuing his conversation, which could be heard by the entire group, he let Lethe majority of the group lag behind. Other English speaking guests were equally frustrated. When I tried to address the concerns of the English speaking guests, he rudely told me that no one had ever complained before and that “I was the problem”. Afterwards, he began speaking to the group in English and proceeded to admonish another English guest that “he was not listening “ This unfortunately ruined the Lucca tour for me my wife and other English dies king guests who I spoke to.. Note-my comments do not pertain to the Ciao your guide who did not participate in the Lucca tour. Unless there is better quality control over local guides, there is no guarantee that another tour would be subject to same type of rude and unprofessional behavior

Leaning tower of Pisa and Lucca

Antonio was a great host with great knowldge and multilingual. He was clear with instructions and looked after everyone. The locations were great as was the leaning tower of Pisa. The tour was value for money and relaxing

Trip to Pisa and Lucca

It was a beautiful experience!! Pisa is beautiful, Lucca was less interesting at least in my view! Antonio was a very good coordinator, attentive, kind, he was very good company!! Thank you.

Amazing first trip to Pisa and Lucca

Our trip with Antonio and Ricardo was fantastic. Pick up and drop off was easy and Antonio was great at communicating. The trips in both Lucca and Pisa were packed with interesting history and information and never did we feel rushed. They were able to answer any questions we had and made the whole experience so enjoyable. Plus you get free time to explore. Definitely get trinkets in Pisa and gelato/sweet pastries in Lucca. We will definitely be booking something similar on our next visit to Italy and would highly recommend people do this trip. Great job guys 😊
