Highlights
If your dream is to discover all the hidden corners of a Tuscan city, that's what you were waiting for :) We will spend some hours in the Etruscan village of Volterra... famous for its roman theatre and the production of alabaster! This unique town was the home of the Etruscans: a population that lived in the area of Tuscany even before the Romans. Furthemore, Volterra was the setting for "New Moon", the second vampire book in the Twilight series. During the day, we will stop in a real salt mine to discover the secret of the finest salt of Tuscany! I will pick you up with my professional van, and I will drive you through the hills of Tuscany until we will arrive at our destination. At every attraction, our driverguide will stop the van trying to offer you an exclusive and comfortable experience and will explain you everything he knows: it will be like watching the view from the eyes of a local. Don't miss this special opportunity to book a daytrip to remember :)

About Lucca
Lucca is a walled Tuscan city of Renaissance ramparts, narrow lanes and an oval piazza, and the birthplace of the composer Giacomo Puccini.
Lucca is enclosed by intact Renaissance walls, about four kilometres around, topped by a tree-lined promenade used for walking and cycling above the rooftops. Within them the medieval street plan survives, with Via Fillungo as its shopping spine and many towers and churches. The Piazza dell'Anfiteatro is an oval square built on the footprint of a Roman amphitheatre, and the Guinigi Tower grows holm oaks on its roof.
Top-ranked sights in Lucca: Piazza dell'Anfiteatro, Lucca Cathedral (Duomo di Lucca), Church of San Michele in Foro (Chiesa di San Michele in Foro).
