The ride continues on the top and around the town walls: you will enjoy an outstanding view of the city centre, a gorgeous vista on the surrounding countryside and understand the history and the construction of the fortification during the centuries. Your guide will give you the chance to explore secret passages and hidden sites that you couldn't find on your own.

We will go through the historical centre to admire the many noble palaces and old churches, passing by the outstanding Guinigi Tower. You will also cycle along less touristy neighbourhoods getting a real taste of local life.

You will try delicious pecorino cheese, local cold cuts and cherry on top - the extra-virgin olive oil. You will also learn about traditional recipes and get to know about curious ingredients.

After the tasting we go on a ride through different corners of the city centre admiring narrow alleys, secondary trails and ancient churches till we reach and glimpse the façade of the lowest one: San Frediano basilica which is very close from the fascinating Amphitheatre square.

Wonderful way to see beautiful Lucca

Published on Jan, 2025

I did this tour with my family including a 10 and 12 year old and thoroughly enjoyed it. It is a perfect way to see Lucca and learn about the history and culture of the city. Chiara, our guide, was fantastic, managing to dodge the occasional showers and the choice of restaurants and patisseries was excellent. I would thoroughly recommend this tour

Excellent

Best way to see Lucca

Published on Dec, 2024

This was such a great tour. Seeing Lucca on a bicycle enabled us to see the city from up on top of the walls, to right in the heart of the city centre. Our tour guide Luca was excellent; very knowledgeable and friendly. We had some great local food and drink. It really was a great way to see Lucca and one of the highlights of our stop in this city.

Terrific bikes and bites tour

Published on Dec, 2024

Our tour of Lucca with our guide, Luca, was amazing. He was funny and informative, and made us feel very welcome. I would highly recommend him and his company to anyone.

Experience nature on an ebike

Published on Nov, 2024

Beautiful scenery, great guide and a fun ride on the ebike. Seeing Rome, you’re on your feet a lot and a day on a bike seeing the catacombs and nature is very refreshing. The route takes you on the original Appian road and was so much fun. Plus our guide was looking out for our safer the entire time. Highly recommend this tour.
