The verdict
Bikes and Bites is our pick for most visitors: it has the higher rating, the most reviews and the lower price. For three hours, a guide takes you around Lucca by bike, with brunch and snacks along the way; one reviewer mentions sandwiches and gelato. You can book it as a small group or as a private tour. The trade-off: one reviewer found it a short ride, with less biking than hoped.
The e-bike ride with wine is the better choice if you want more time in the saddle. It runs three to four hours, and reviewers say the e-bikes make the hills easy. The price covers the e-bike, a helmet, a guide, snacks and the wine tasting. The supplier may cancel for bad weather.
Both start at the same bike rental, Piazzale Ricasoli 203, by the train station. Neither is listed as wheelchair accessible.
Bikes and Bites is built around food, with a short ride. The e-bike tour is built around the ride, with a wine tasting. Pick by what matters more to you. For the rest of the town, see our guide to things to do in Lucca.

How a bike tour fits a trip to Tuscany
Lucca is close to Pisa, so the Pisa tour with the Leaning Tower pairs well with it. From Florence, compare the Chianti e-bike tour, the Cinque Terre day trip and the day trip to Siena, San Gimignano and Pisa.
