No one can claim Tuscany hasn't been 'discovered.' Thankfully, most visitors head for Siena, Florence and Pisa, leaving Lucca to those seeking a more authentic Italian experience. Once you've ambled alongside the river Serchio, strode the Passeggiata delle Mura atop the city walls, and sat at a sidewalk café soaking up the scenery, you'll wonder why the whole world isn't vacationing here.

Take a private Lucca tour and explore this Tuscan treasure with a local guide.

Start your morning in Piazza Anfiteatro, the city's pulsing heart. Snap a panorama of the tilting rooftops, then follow your guide to the Basilica of San Frediano to view the ascension mosaic. Count the columns on the facade of San Michele in Foro, then have your guide show you the medieval graffiti.

Lucky Luccans live to eat, so when hunger strikes, head to the Piazza del Giglio and ask your guide for a primo place to pounce on Taglietelle Al Coniglio, pasta in rabbit sauce. Mangia!.
