WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Lucca
Your tour begins at the Railway station (at the main entrance) and in few yards we reach the rental shop to take our bikes and to be ready for the discovery of this fascinating bike friendly town. You will soon realize how the green space and the bike routes give a privilege visit of Lucca.
2. Le mura di Lucca
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.
3. San Michele in Foro
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. Therefore, it will be the time to enjoy our first food stop, by paying a visit to our favourite shop and tasting delicious delicatessens of the city. 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.
4. Piazza Anfiteatro
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. We’ll continue exploring the east side of the town that is less known but very local.
5. Piazza Napoleone
Later we’ll go back on the saddle and we’ll climb back to the walls, concluding the visit by seeing the remaining unexplored parts. We head down again to the historical centre passing by Piazza Grande, ready for the last sweet stop in the oldest ice cream shop of Lucca: here we will taste a real excellence, the best gelato you will always remember (in colder months gelato will be replace with a cake and a coffee)! Finally, we return to the starting point fully aware that we have experienced the city in the manner of the locals.

Antonella was an incredible guide for our private bike tour. She speaks English well and showed us there is a lot more to Lucca than meets the eye. We enjoyed learning a brief history as we leisurely rode along the top of the historic fortification wall. The snacks in the Piazza Anfiteatro were delicious, the gelato was authentic, and we were able to get several beautiful photos! My husband and I cannot say enough how much we enjoyed the trip with the sweet and charismatic Antonella (Antoni) as our guide!

I highly recommend this tour. Chiara was a great guide! She was very knowledgeable and shared so much interesting information and history. She went out of her way to include a sight that we were curious about. The light bits were great too!

Best part of our trip so far. Chiara was a wonderful guide. She did a great job combining lots of bike riding with informational stops. It was a beautiful day so it was a pleasure to bike around Lucca! I would definitely recommend again. But I wouldn’t recommend for kids under 12-14 or so. My sons were 19 and 24 and we all really enjoyed it!

Sara was great. We got so much history of Lucca from her which made being there all the more interesting. When we stopped for refreshments, she never hurried us. A fun way to see Lucca. Highly recommend.
