I visit Lucca a few times a year with my husband. He works there and I explore the area on my own. Before riding with No Ordinary Way I would just take the hotel bike and ride on top of the wall and through town. While that is certainly beautifiul this was much more of an adventure. It's the perfect... More

Our family of four adults biked from Lucca to Pisa. I wasn't sure I'd be able to bike 33km but the route was mostly level along bike trails and back roads with minimal cars. The route was gorgeous going along the river and past farmlands and mountains. We stopped midway at a village and had drinks and pastries at a... More

Be sure you have the same meaning for "easy" bike tour as the tour guide. We ride regularly for recreation (not hard, avid bike riders) and took bike tours almost everywhere we went in Europe, and this is the only one we had any problems keeping up (or wanting to keep up). It is described as "easy" and it certainly... More

My wife and I visited Lucca in early September 2011. Unfortunately we hadn't booked a tour in advance but visited Not Ordinary Tours and met with Paolo. He was very helpful and contacted a number of wineries and was able to arrange a couple of tours for us on short notice. The tours were wonderful and well chosen. We first... More

We had a wonderful time with Andrea on the bike tour! We rode through the beautiful Lucca countryside and stopped at this wonderful winery. The owner was so passionate about wine, taking us through each step of the process and even showing us the containers and barrels which house the wines. We tasted some of the most incredible wines and... More

We returned to Lucca again this year. While planning my trip I contacted Andrea of Not Ordinary Ways for a winery tour. Another wonderful experience. We were a group of 20 renting a villa. Andrea, Paolo and Mateo, picked us up in 3 vans and took us on a great tour. We visited Fattoria Fubbiano in San Gennaro, where me... More

Take a Tour into the deep of the Apuanian Alpes: with a van you reach (after 600 meters of ride through a tunnell) the center of the mountain where a marble quarrel has been created and is still operating. Everything around you, the floor, the roof and the basement are made of the precious white marble of Carrara. The tour... More

Wonderful! www.notordinaryway.com I first contacted Not Ordinary Ways about 6 months before my trip. Andrea was very quick responding to my emails and all the information they sent was very clear. There were no surprises about price, transportation or logistics. Chiara was our tour guide, she was fabulous. 9 of us met at Not Ordinary Ways office in Lucca for... More

We stopped in Lucca as part of a honeymoon that also took us to Venice, Florence, and Rome. While there, we came across Not Ordinary Ways Bike Tours in which we took a guided bike ride to a local winery. Chiara was very nice and helpful in helping us book our trip. We ended up on the tour with two... More
