The tour starts at Lucca Railway Station, where participants walk a short distance to a nearby rental shop to collect bicycles. The group then cycles on top of and around Lucca's city walls for about thirty minutes, enjoying views of the city center and surrounding countryside. The guide provides information about the history and construction of the walls, including secret passages. Next, the ride continues for about one hour through the historic center, passing landmarks such as the Guinigi Tower, old churches, and noble palaces. During this section, there is a stop at a local shop for the first food tasting, which includes pecorino cheese, local cold cuts, and extra-virgin olive oil. The guide explains traditional recipes and ingredients during the tasting. Afterward, the tour proceeds through narrow alleyways and less touristy neighborhoods, reaching the San Frediano basilica near Piazza Anfiteatro. The ride continues for about forty-five minutes through the east side of town, a more residential and less visited area. Later, the group returns to the city walls to cover remaining sections before descending back to the historic center. The final stop is at Lucca's oldest ice cream shop, where participants taste gelato; in colder months, this is replaced with cake and coffee. The tour lasts approximately three hours and includes bicycle use, brunch, and food tastings with local bites. It covers both popular and local parts of Lucca by bike and is available for small groups or private bookings.
