About this tour
Pedal through Lucca's Renaissance ramparts on an e-bike, stopping to taste what the city does best: savoury cured meats paired with wine, then sweet Buccellato and Torta Coi Becchi in a heritage bakery. Your private guide navigates you past San Martino cathedral, San Michele church, and the amphitheatre piazza whilst unpacking the city's culinary traditions. Two-and-a-half hours, gentle pace, entirely doable.

What to expect
You'll meet your guide and collect an e-bike suited to your height. The route stays low-key—no steep climbs—keeping you focused on the sights and flavours. Expect to glide past major landmarks while your guide shares the backstory, then pause at a proper deli counter for antipasti and a glass of wine. After a short ride, you'll sit down in an old-school bakery to taste two distinctly Luccan sweets: Buccellato, a ring loaf studded with raisins and anise, and Torta Coi Becchi, a peculiar cake layered with chard, pine nuts and dried fruit. The whole outing is unhurried.
Good to know
E-bikes suit riders 155cm+ and aged 14+. You'll need a baseline level of cardiovascular fitness—this isn't a full rest day. No child seats or trailers attach to the bikes. Public transport is handy if you need to bail early or get back elsewhere.
