Ciao! I'm Alessandro and I'm a local tourists guide of Pisa, Lucca and Volterra since 2008, but everyone here calls me Ale. My country is my passion and a treasure that wants to be discovered and I'm here to let you dive into my world. I was born in Pisa and grew up in an XII century tower, spending my childhood in the surroundings of the Leaning Tower. My parents have been the first tourists guides I have evere had and they taught me that even an empty wall could be an open book to read. I'm a theatrical actor, since I was 11 and I have a degree in foreign languages ​​(English, Spanish and Romanian) and a specialization in medieval art. It will be a privilege to show you my city, my traditions, to make you feel home, leaving everything behind. We can work together to create your perfect tour. On my favorite book, The legend of 1900, you can read this: "You're never really done for, as long as you've got a good story and someone to tell it to". I really believe it and I'll tell you all the stories I have learnt. Ready? Andiamo! (let's go!)

Overview of your Lucca tour

Lucca is elegant, sophisticated, and real. Tucked inside its Renaissance walls, time stands still among medieval lanes and pearly white churches. But it's music that defines Lucca's soul—a legacy stretching from the 18th century to today through masters like Boccherini and Puccini. It is, quite simply, a breathtaking experience.
