About this tour

Bike rental arranged through a recommended shop.

What to expect
You'll meet Martina at her recommended bike shop, sort your rental, then spend three hours riding through Pisa's medieval layout. The pace is gentle—you're not racing, just moving between spots comfortably. Expect cobblestones, some hills, and plenty of stops for Martina to explain what you're seeing: the history layered into buildings, how university culture shapes daily life, where artisans still work. You'll swing by the famous monuments and quieter quarters alike, with time to actually absorb each place rather than photograph and move on.
