Walking Tour: Pietrasanta & the marble of Michelangelo

Ciao! My name is Claudia, I'm a certified guide in Tuscany. I live in Lucca with my family: my husband and my 3 children. This job came by chance 10 years ago when I was unemployed. In that period my eldest daughter had finished university, majoring in tourism, and together we were looking for a possible outlet for that degree. I began to read about this wonderful job devoted to art and history, my passions. My daughter didn't like this idea and since I insisted, in the end a little annoyed she replied: "But why don't you do it?" Yeah! Why not? And so, for those strange twists of life, I found myself taking a Tour Guide course. A choice that led me to do my heartfelt job! Besides that, I love reading and cooking. The best things come to me when I open the fridge and take out all the leftovers... imagination at the service of taste! So my tours are a mix of my different interests and I really enjoy being with people, sharing emotions and telling stories: history is not just a sequence of events but many small stories connected to each other with passion and love. In the last months I developed some nice bike tours in the countryside of Lucca, we use the e-bike so we can take advantage of the ease of pedalling to take slightly longer routes. Take a look to the beautiful Villas of Lucca and come with me to visit them, far from the busy center and sorrounded by nature.
