- irishnighthawk0 contributionsE-bike wine tourThis was such a fun tour. Our guide Lucca was fun. He knew a lot about the city and its history. Giving us more than just info about the wine part but also about the city and its history. The e-bikes were really fun and easy to operate, even though it was our first experience with them. Lucca was there to help us out and make sure we all knew what to do. He took his time and made sure everyone in the group stayed together. The experience at the winery was nice. Such a great story of its history and family. The lunch was actually much more than I expected and they took all our dietary needs into account. They had special plates of food for gluten free and vegetarian. It was a beautiful day!Written 8 October 2024
- Karenonadventure0 contributionsWonderful EBike ride and wine picnic!We had a great time and the ride made easy with the fun to ride E-bikes! The scenery was beautiful by the River and the sunset sky coming back into Lucca was gorgeous! We loved the wine picnic and the setting in the vineyard. They are a small production 4th generation family run winery since 1894. We enjoyed the wine and bought a bottle for later. Definitely would recommend this tour!Written 8 October 2024
- Steve T0 contributionsAmazing history of LuccaOur guide Luca was great. We rode on top of the wall around the city. He explained the history in detail and is very proud of his city. We left the city and rode up into the hills. It is beautiful country and very quiet and peaceful. The electric bikes make it easy for anyone. I would recommend this tour to everyone. Thank you for Seattle WAWritten 7 October 2024
- Lara3390 contributionsGreat ebike ride from Lucca to PisaReally great day despite the weather- took bikes from Lucca to Pisa. Bikes really good and an easy ride. Lots to look at along the way. A few short stretches on main roads but other than that all off the beaten track. App with map and directions worked really well and we took the train back from Pisa to Lucca which again was very easy. Very friendly, helpful staff. Would highly recommend.Written 2 October 2024
- U8550OCjosephm0 contributionsSan Ramon crew bike ride to Pisa.The bike ride was amazingly fun! I would do this next trip to Lucca. The bikes were much better quality than I expected. The center representative explained everything very well.Written 27 September 2024
- Safari664497737750 contributions‘Allora!’An Insightful and methodical planned tour of the city. We were very impressed by the tour guide (Marta) and her exstensive knowledge of the city. The e-bikes were the ideal mode of transport as they required little effort to get going and were certainly useful for inclines! The wine estate itself was a beautiful setting. Again, with an extensive insight into the subject and some deliscious wines and cold meats to devour. All in all a fantastic experience and great value.Written 24 September 2024

- I1155IZzacht0 contributionsA Must-Do in Lucca!Highly recommend the bike tours of Lucca experience. It is a fantastic way to get to know this excellent town. Antonella, our guide, was SO wonderful and took the time to share with us the history in just the right amounts. Her charm, knowledge, and love of Lucca made this experience one of the best things we did while in Italy. The sights, pathways, and points of interest are well worth seeing, and if you can experience them via bike, even better, Even though we only had a few days in Lucca, we left the tour feeling like we had a real understanding of it. Despite the rain at the end of the tour, we thoroughly enjoyed every moment. Don't miss it! Thanks, Antonella!Written 20 September 2024

Lucca's walls remain in place after centuries and surround the entire city. They are some 20 feet high from the inside, reached by several reasonably sloped on-ramps. On the outside the town is surrounded mostly by meadows some 40-60 feet below your path. It's a great way to get the feel of the city which, retaining its medieval character, is a maze of streets winding through 3- and 4-story buildings and makes it difficult to absorb more than the block you are standing in. You can of course shorten your walk by cutting directly across the city at some point instead of making the entire circuit.

Lucca is a beautiful town to walk around to enjoy the view and the wealth of artistic assets it possesses. Beautiful house museum Puccini. To eat you can find bars in the historic center, where you can taste traditional dishes

to avoid the stress that we had, do it like this:
tripadvisor says to come at 01:30 to the tourist information at Piazza Ricasoli, but beware that there is a sign that points to a small old closed building saying 'tourist information', but don't wait there, it is the wrong one! go to the one that is on the right side when you face the railway station (Stazione). There you only get the tickets (and you have to get them even though you have the booking confirmation...) and afterwards you have to go to Piazza Verdi to another tourist information (in a historical building) where the tour starts at 02:00 p. m.
The tour itself was really good and the local guide showed us historical as well as culinaric highlights and gave us good tips for not classic restaurants with moderate prices.

Our tour guide Nadia was so knowledgeable! She knew so much history. She was very passionate about the city and its history. We learn so much and saw things that were so much more amazing because of her explanations.
