What people are saying about Province of Lucca

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.

Ideal trip to enjoy nature by e-bike and discover both Lucca and Pisa. Also gone back by bike (instead of train). Rental bicycles well arranged. Recommended

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.

Fast delivery, with suggested tours, bikes in very good condition!
