Fantastic trip out on the E-bikes. Our first time. Marta was our guide and she was superb. Full of great information about the locality. She guided us round the Lucca walls with numerous stops to provide tit bits of information. Then off into the country to a small vineyard run by Carlo. Family run business producing great organic wines. Thank you to Julia who explained the whole process to us in expert English. After tasting the wines and eating their lovely food, we purchased some wine and continues the bike tour with Marta. Time was no restoration and Marta continued to provide us with so much information. She was encyclopaedic. Wonderful outing.

This may have been my favorite thing to do in Italy! The path was clear (make sure you have enough power for your phone) and it ran along the river and through 2 small towns before getting to Pisa. Make sure everything on your bike is working before you get too far from the shop.

Bike was easy to use and the electric assist was great. The route is more complicated than I expected, but the app they provide and a good attitude will get you there. Overall, nice way to see good views and enjoy a change of pace activity.

Biking around the beautiful city of Lucca was a highlight of our trip to Italy! The city was beautiful with lots of restaurants and shopping.

Marta was a wonderful and knowledgeable guide! Bikes are a wonderful way to see the countryside one of the highlights of our trip so far!
