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.

Very friendly and caring staff. The meeting place is directly at the bike shop. We discovered the city of Pisa differently, the audio guide is very useful and the electric bikes of very good quality, very easy activity. Superb experience!

Very pleasant and friendly professionals, speak French. Pisa by bike allows you to see the main tourist points without walking for hours. On a bike, the heat is more bearable.

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

Very good and helpful staff. Strongly recommended.
