    What To Expect

    Chiesa di San Michele in Foro

    You will look over the church and the square. You will try the first traditional Lucca dish, the "Buccellato" in a local boutique pâtisserie. Typical sweet bread, Buccellato, is made from simple ingredients. It is a baked product with very ancient origins, originally with a circular and ring shape that has recently given way to oval versions that are more convenient to pack and transport.

    Via Buia

    Nearby we'll be able to try the local street food, the cecina, by a street shop vendor before trying some chocolate in a trusted bar. Cecina is a typical thin focaccia made with a mixture of chickpea flour, water, salt and olive oil. Soft on the inside and crispy on the outside, a must-have dish when visiting Tuscany! Afterwards, choose from a selection of chocolates exclusively made in Tuscany or a delicious ice cream. The best way to end the tour on a high note! Or try a refreshing Italian gelato! End the tour with a true italian espresso.
