THE 11 AM TOUR, A TOUR FOR EVERYONE!

The 11 am Tour is a collection tour, it is not a private tour but a group tour of the city, a tour for everyone!

Its name derives from the start time, and allows us to tell about the city of Lucca with stories and legends, examples of artistic works, and iconic monuments.

The advantage of the 11 AM Tour is that it takes place in the historic center, and the meeting point is located in one of the most central squares of the city, Piazza San Michele, just over a 10-minute walk from the railway station.

It was born several years ago, thanks to the careful programming of a group of dedicated licensed local tourist guides, to offer an economic tour of the most iconic central Lucchese monuments, and an authentic cultural experience.

It is thanks to the Lucca Info&Guide Association, that I have had the opportunity to present the city,

narrate its history and transmit its beauty for 10 years.

 

It offers participants the opportunity to meet new friends, and see new sights, while walking through the streets and alleys, and to get to know the city with a qualified guide.

It allows you to discover Lucca, the events and the territory, and therefore the commitment to conduct this tour, with the dedication and work of the association’s tourist guides, which will be constant throughout the season.
