Overview

Lucca’s perfectly preserved medieval city walls are one of the city’s most striking sights, but most visitors never go beyond a stroll along their perimeter. With this exclusive tour, explore the greenway along the top of the walls before entering their soaring internal vaults, once used to store bronze cannons and other weapons. Explore the galleries and chambers and learn about the history of these spectacular defensive fortifications.

Response from Host, Jan 2025

Good afternoon, We suppose you weren’t at the right meeting point because you wrote “you were left in the cold under the rain “. Our meeting point is inside the Information Center. The tour took place with 2 persons . We are sorry that you didn’t see the colleague Paola who was scheduled on the tour. She left the Tourist information at 10:15 with the 2 clients and nobody else was there waiting for the tour and nobody called us from the Tourist information to inform us that somebody was waiting there for the tour. We didn’t receive your e-mail . Obviously you can ask for the refund. We are sorry for this inconvenient and hope to welcome you back in Lucca.

Very disappointed

I arrived at the appointed spot and there was no one there so I have asked for a refund. The guide had all my contact information but never reached out to me. I was very disappointed as I had received several emails regarding my prepayment but no email explaining why no one met me.

Very interesting!

This was my third time in Lucca and I never knew these under the wall areas were able to be toured. The guide gave a very detailed and interesting history of the history of Lucca and why the walls were needed and built. I recommend it to anyone visiting for the first time or a repeat visitor who wants to learn more about Lucca.

Itinerary

  • Le Mura di Lucca

    The Walls of Lucca are a unique reality in regard to European city planning and architecture. 

    Built during the Renaissance, today, they are a leading example of Italian fortification.

    The suggested itinerary consists of walking on the walls and also visiting their interior to discover the galleries and rooms within, recently restored. The restoration has given back one of the most treasured monuments to the inhabitants of Lucca and has made moving from the inside of the city to the outside, simple and very suggestive.
