About this tour

This planning call is for anyone specifically interested in Lucca's gardens and green spaces. We go through Palazzo Pfanner, the botanical garden and the wall-top park together on a map, and I explain how they connect on foot. You leave with a route suited to a greener visit rather than a general list of sights.

We spend most of the call adjusting the order to opening hours and your own pace, since gardens are easy to mistime. A short written route follows by message once we finish.

It suits anyone planning a quieter, greener visit to Lucca. It also works well before booking one of my longer garden sessions on video.

Included

A 45-minute call with a local guide
Honest tips on where to eat, stay and what to skip
A short follow-up note with every place mentioned

Not included

Bookings made on your behalf
Phone or data charges from your provider

Questions about this tour

What will the call cover?

The guide talks you through Lucca: where to go, what to eat, and answers to whatever you ask.

What happens if the call drops?

The guide will try you again straight away.

Can I ask the guide questions during the session, or is it a fixed script?

Anything, any time. Sessions leave room for your own questions throughout, not just at the end.

How it works

Your guide calls the number you give at booking.
We meet on Google Meet; the link comes with your booking. This is a planning call, not a live walk, and I answer questions as we go.

How reviews work

Only travellers who booked and paid through Locals Guide and whose tour took place can leave a review, within 60 days of the tour. Every review is marked "Verified booking". We check reviews before they appear and publish positive and negative ones alike; we remove only reviews that break our rules (insults, personal data, unrelated content). Guides cannot pay for, edit or hide reviews, and ratings are the plain average of all published reviews.
