Private tour: Kids in Lucca - Stepping Back in Time to the Middle Ages.

Choose a morning or afternoon tour and meet your guide in central Lucca near the Cathedral of San Martino.

Begin by admiring the facade of the cathedral to see representations of flowers, animals, and stories that tell the lives of the saints. Enter the cathedral to see the 'Volto Santo' (Holy Face), the wooden crucifix that pilgrims during the Middle Ages came to see.

As you walk through Lucca's charming historic center, pay attention to the buildings that line the streets, many of which were once private homes for the city's wealthy and noble families. Learn from your guide how to decipher the meanings behind the various facades.

Visit the Zecca, Lucca's historic mint, to see a replica of a coin from the Middle Ages made for each child in the group. Stop at the Church of San Michele to once again 'read' the stories on the facade, including some featuring legends and myths.

Finish the tour with a gelato.
