    Don’t miss this tour! Great guide and horse!

    Marika is wonderful and Mario the horse is fantastic. He even stops at his favorite shops during the tour to get treats. So cute! We spent two hours with Marika who is a wonderful and knowledgeable guide and a lovely person. We only had one afternoon in Lucca and this tour made us feel like we got a great taste of the city. It was one of the best tours we have done and we travel a lot. We highly recommend this tour!!!! And we love Mario!

    Absolutely wonderful

    Absolutely wonderful tour! Maria is charming , knowledgeable and fun. She does an amazing job keeping you interested and comfortable. Worth every penny! You can understand the town if Lucca so much better seeing it from her carriage! Thank to both Maria and her sweet horse Luigi!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words! We truly appreciate your lovely feedback, and it was a real pleasure having you aboard our carriage. Thank you again for choosing us, and we hope you had a wonderful time in Lucca!

    Magical Tour

    I wish I could give Marika more than 5 stars. We have been traveling in Italy for almost 2 weeks and have done tours in each city. This was by far the best one! She was prompt picking us up, and was very responsive with messaging ahead of time. She clearly knows every nook and cranny of Lucca and loves this place. As we rode in the carriage with Mario (the horse) at the helm, townspeople would call out friendly greetings to her, which made Lucca even more magical - like a small village. The history was very interesting as well. We are English speakers, and Marika’s English was excellent and was able to answer all of our questions. She was charming, funny, and made us fall in love with Lucca. We will definitely be back! One more note— where we are from in the USA, horses are not always treated well (like NYC carriage rides), please know that Marika’s horses are very well loved and live outside the walled city where they can just be horses in a farm setting.. She is clearly very careful about their safety and happiness, so if you are worried at all about this, please don’t be. They are well loved.

    Response from the operator: Hi Debra, Thank you so, so much for your lovely review! ❤️ It was such a joy to have you with us, and I truly enjoyed spending that time together. Your beautiful words about me and my horses touched my heart—thank you so much for your kindness and generosity. Knowing that I was able to give you a special memory of Lucca makes me incredibly happy. That’s exactly what I hope every guest takes home. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart. I hope to see you again one day, and until then, I wish you all the very best! A big hug, Marika

    Lucca Royal Experience – Grand Tour Deluxe by Carriage (2 Hours): questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lucca.

    How much does Lucca Royal Experience – Grand Tour Deluxe by Carriage (2 Hours) cost?

    +

    Prices start at $326 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Lucca usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Lucca Royal Experience – Grand Tour Deluxe by Carriage (2 Hours) take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Lucca is not rushed.

    Is Lucca Royal Experience – Grand Tour Deluxe by Carriage (2 Hours) worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 54 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Lucca, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Lucca Royal Experience – Grand Tour Deluxe by Carriage (2 Hours)?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Lucca Royal Experience – Grand Tour Deluxe by Carriage (2 Hours) suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Lucca Royal Experience – Grand Tour Deluxe by Carriage (2 Hours)?

    +

    Around 19 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Lucca can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Lucca and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Lucca Royal Experience – Grand Tour Deluxe by Carriage (2 Hours) start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Lucca within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Lucca?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Lucca experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tuscan Wine Tour in Lucca by van, Lucca’s Ultimate Food Tour: Full Tuscan Meal by Do Eat Better, Lucca Bikes and Bites with food tastings for Small Groups or Private. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Lucca?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Lucca?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Lucca Royal Experience – Grand Tour Deluxe by Carriage (2 Hours)?

    +

    Included: Private transportation; and Guide in English, Spanish and Italian. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Lucca Royal Experience – Grand Tour Deluxe by Carriage (2 Hours)?

    +
