The tour guide was very...

Sarah_M, Jul 2025

The tour guide was very knowledgeable and for some it would be a good fit. As a family, we wanted to ride our bikes more with fewer stops.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Dear Sarah Mackay, thanks for your review. The guided tour of Lucca and the walls by bike, it's a sightseeing tour. The bike is a different way to move instead of walking. It's described as very easy because it's in Lucca centre and the walls, a small hamlet city, you can't do long ditances visiting Lucca. Its purpose is to show by bike the attractions of Lucca, stop in front of the main monuments to learn its story and traditions, maybe taking a photo. For people who love to bike we offer, also in this website bike tours on the river park, Villa Reale, countryside and even Lucca to Pisa. So, if the guide was good as you wrote and you chosen to have a guided visit of an historical centre, why try to damage the guide giving a bad vote to the activity. Your votes influence future sells, it's not a game, it's a work. Honestly I don't find a sense to this kind of reviews.

E-bike lucca

Trigranny, Oct 2024

Guide was interesting and knowledgeable Tour was good but bike was in poor condition and company was not receptive to showing me its gears etc. I have toured on many e-bikes before and the one I was given was difficult to handle and out of tune

Ebike tour of Lucca

Cynthia_D, Oct 2024

Our tour guide was excellent so that is the reason I gave it 3 stars. As far as the company for the ebikes I would give it one star because the ebikes were old and in need of maintenance. Everyone in our group had problems. We were not given a water bottle for the tour nor given assistance in setting up the bikes. We have done many ebike tours and were disappointed with this situation. It was not worth the cost of the tour.

Italy vacation cut short on this bike excursion

Thomas_P, Oct 2024

My wife and I had to cut our Italy cruise short by 9 days since I broke my leg on this e-bike excursion of Lucca. The folks running the Bike Excursion were very nice but rushed through how to operate the bicycles. We were with two other friend couples on our trip. The guide shared interesting information as we began our bike tour. However, looking back we were not offered or required to wear helmets which led to my mishap. The top of the wall is a small boulevard with grass and trees on either side of the walking area. There are people walking, pushing their baby carriages and biking on the pathway. It was too crowded to bike on it because of all of the potential hazards of running into someone or something. Our guide biked ahead of us with occasional stops for guide information. There are no designated bike lanes. Not far into the excursion I was hit head on by another bicyclist coming the other way who was passing his girlfriend’s bike without noting that in doing so he would crash into me. I landed on my back with my head hitting the pavement and breaking my leg by my ankle. The other bicylcist was just bruised up a bit. Our guide called an ambulance and we left our friends two days later so I could returned home to the USA to have surgery to repair my broken fibula. Our friends finished the ride while my wife came with me to the hospital. Their assessment was poor as well since in the number of people in Lucca two of them lost the guide several times. Overall, a nice idea for an excursion but not enough safety measures were taken by the operators and honestly the streets of Lucca are too crowded to navigate through with a group of tourist bicyclists.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Hi Thomas, we are very sorry about your accident and we did everything we could to help you. Apart from the ambulance, my colleague came with our van to assist your wife and accompanied her to the hospital. We also offered to take her back to the port if possible after the treatment, leaving our telephone numbers, perhaps she hadn't known this. It seems to me that we did everything we could to assist you following the accident so this evaluation surprises us. And we are also surprised that there are too many subjective evaluations, let's say, that we have to report both for fairness towards Viator customers and to protect our work and the city. We offer guided or self-guided bike tours every day on the walls and outside the city and we have helmets, included in the price, that we give every day to customers who want them. Since it is not mandatory in Italy, those who do not request it can go without since the city inside the walls is pedestrian and cycle-friendly. In this regard I must also point out that the road on the walls is not small but very wide, reserved for bicycles and pedestrians for 40 years, but think that before it was a two-lane road for cars, so it is very wide for a cycle path. I would not call it small or pathway, it is 6 meters wide. People can see i from the photos. I also want to point out that, as far as we know, this is the first accident with our bicycles on the walls. Otherwise it seems that it is normal to have accidents on the walls during a tour, and it would be an incorrect message. Your group was made up of 8 people, our groups are always very small and therefore we believe that the guide gives the necessary attention to everyone. So we understand your sadness, but if a person who has nothing to do with us made a risky maneuver causing you damage to a leg, It's something hateful but I don't think the negativity should be transferred onto us by penalizing our work.

Fun activity for family

Jennifer_N, Feb 2024

She was so knowledgeable and kind! She was great!!! So friendly and let us adjust to riding the bikes and didn’t go too fast. She was GREAT!

Wonderful experience!

Phillip_G, Oct 2023

We all had a wonderful experience exploring beautiful Lucca by bicycle. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and fun to ride with. We would stop along the way for important pieces of history in the architecture and landscape The bike ride was safe and allowed us to cover much more areas than walking. Well worth the visit.

Want a fun few hours and learn about Lucca? Grab an e-bike and a great guide like Antonella and you will love it!

Lynda_M, Oct 2023

Absolutely fantastic e-bike tour with Antonella! She was enthusiastic and so excited to share Lucca’s history with my husband and me. The e-bike was great fun but spending three hours with Antonella was even better. We learned so much from her and she was a delight to be with on our tour!

Excellent guided e-bike experience

Philip_T, Aug 2023

Our guide (Antonella) was excellent! Full of key facts and interesting information, she was the perfect guide. She made the trip a very personal experience, allowing us to take stops for pictures etc when we wanted - even taking pictures if us together for us. Highly recommended

Wonderful bike tour of Lucca

Rosalie_P, May 2022

our guide Marta was incredible!! She had deep knowledge of the town, it’s history and culture, and took us on a lovely tour of the wall and then the treasures of the city within it. It was a wonderful experience and highly recommend if you do it to request Marta as your guide.

Great way to learn about Lucca

Ellen_C, Oct 2021

We had a wonderful afternoon of biking with our guide Chiara(? spelling) around Lucca. She was so informative and we really felt like we learned so much about the town and medieval walls. She also gave some great dining options as well. I would highly recommend this tour, especially at the start of your trip to Lucca!
