Transporting Backpack Between Lucca and Siena

[cathyke50]

Hi I'm planning to walk from Lucca to Siena in October this year and would like to get my backpack transported between stops if possible. Has anyone done this? Many thanks

Yes but it's much more expensive than Spain. This one and another whose name escapes me, does Lucca - Rome

I looked into it on behalf of a friend who wanted to join me, but has back issues. I have good and bad news:

1. Yes there are services
2. Cost is higher, and there was often a 2-bag minimum
3. You need to submit your route ahead of time
4. “Pilgrim accommodations” won’t accept dropped bags, so you’ll need fo use traditional hotels, b&bs, etc

My friend opted out, so I won’t be using a baggage transport service, so I can’t vouch for how they work in the end.
