Highlights
A fun excursion from Lucca to Pisa by bicycle, off the beaten paths, along roads known only by local cyclists. A trip out of town that will allow you to admire both the artistic and natural beauties of this part of Tuscany.
The route is completely flat and mainly along the river, on paths or secondary roads, also suitable for families (over 12 year old ). The lprivate local guide will establish the pace to follow with you and will assist you for every need. A stop is planned in San Giuliano Terme after about 20km to refresh in the charming central square where you find a bar, grocery and deli shops.
Once in Pisa, after the visit to Piazza dei Miracoli and the usual photos holding the Leaning Tower, you will go all together to deposit the bikes at a shop near the train station and so you are free to continue the walk to discover Pisa and spend the day there or return immediately to Lucca by local train in 22 minutes with the ticket provided by us.
We will then go to recover the bikes with our van.
