Excellent way to see the aqueduct and some of the countryside around Lucca. The cycling is not hard & is probably about 15km in total. All done on bike paths (except a very short stretch of road). Alessandro was an informative and a careful cycle tour leader. Overall an excellent tour.

We had a lovely afternoon with Federica cycling on the city walls, along the aqueduct and in some very pretty/green areas outside the city walls. Federica is a wealth of knowledge and interesting stories (make sure she tells you about Chet Baker's connection with Lucca) and lovely company. Would highly recommend!

This was a spectacular tour, beautiful area, great scenery, perfect distance for our larger family group (8 riders), and Alessandro was an exceptional guide. He was very knowledgeable about the area and subject matter, easy to work with, patient with the kids, and safety conscious. The area itself is amazing, the route very fun and not too challenging, and we got some fabulous family photos up above the aqueduct overlooking town.
Highly recommended!

We had an amazing morning touring with Alessandro. He was a fantastic and friendly local guide. Thoroughly enjoyed seeing the countryside around Lucca and hearing about the history of the Aqueduct. The bike ride was pleasant and not too strenuous and there is the option to hire an E-bike. Highly recommend!

What a fantastic experience! My husband and I honeymooned in Tuscany and the Architect's Water tour with Alessandro was a true highlight. Got our blood pumping, took in some beautiful sites that we would have otherwise missed if not with a local, and learned more about a city we cannot wait to return to. If you only have one day in Lucca, I highly recommend beginning it with this excursion! You won't regret it!
