Great afternoon adventure! - Perfect place to rent a bike for a tour around Pisa, made it very fun to see all the highlights and history away from the Leaning Tower in an afternoon. Owner was very very nice and accommodating, even though the booking system had a problem she got me set up. Bike was in good shape, app was actually easy and helpful. I'll come back!

Great place to rent bikes - Very friendly and helpful. Also generous with both time and price. We rented twice and wouldn't hesitate to do so again.

A great experience - A great experience. Staff were friendly and really helpful. The tour itself works really well with the app and takes you through many lovely places most people will miss. Getting around on the bike was a great way to cover more ground in a limited time. Highly recommend

A great way to see all of Pisa - This activity will never be forgotten and left us loving Pisa for the memories it made for us. The bike shop is ideally located to the station so is perfect if you're visiting for the day or coming from the airport like us. They were great is getting us set up and let us store our things. It was lunchtime, and they recommended a brilliant Italian flatbread place to check out which really kick started our holiday. We asked what if we eat and go over the 2 hours, to which they said there was only a small 5 euro per hour additional fee if we did. The tour is easy to follow and doesn't involve any major busy roads so there is nothing to fear. We even missed the odd turning and could correct ourselves easily. There are plenty of spots to visit which is a great way of getting it all in during a short period of time, although we unfortunately had to rush it slightly as there was a torrential downpour which left us drenched but in hysterics with on lookers smiling and laughing with us. We would have loved to have spent longer out on the bikes with no pressure on getting them back on time so we could visit some sights in more detail but the weather didn't make this possible.

Nice tour, great cycling - Very kindly helped. Great explanation about using the app. This is really user-friendly with spoken explanations of the highlights you visit on the route. Great bikes with acceleration and good handbrake. Rent comes with extra lock and separately I was able to rent a phone holder for the steering wheel

Great value cycle tour - A beautiful route around the city. Easy to navigate. Great value. Bikes were good to ride and being app based meant we rode at our pace.

A great way to see the city. - Great way to see the city. The App was a bit clunky, and we had a bike chain come off, but reasonable price. We couldn’t find a guided bike tour, so booked this rental.

Biking on your Own - Fun to ride bikes at our own pace without a guide to interrupt our pace. We were able to see interesting places away from the crowds at the leaning tower of Pisa. The disadvantages are that it was somewhat difficult to follow the map at times and we seemed to end up retracing the same trail except that we were on the opposite side of the street, and not every trail is bike friendly. At times we had to bike on the congested streets and through some very crowded pedestrian traffic. So if you are willing to take a few risks biking in crowded areas n enjoy biking at your own pace, this is a good adventure to try when in Pisa.

Not a guided tour - We are a group of 4 friends who do a city trip every year and always take a guided bike tour through the city, as a way to get to know all the places of interest. We have done so in Bilbao, Valencia, Cadiz, London and Porto, and it's always been a very positive experience. However, this city tour through Pisa with 'smile and ride' was different because we discovered that it is in fact a self-guided tour, whereby you download an app and follow the route on the map on your mobile phone. At various stops you can hear the info about places of interest. As this had not been stated clearly in the TripAdvisor info, we were not prepared for it (no earbuds, not enough charge on phones etc), and it was not at all satisfactory. Also, nothing beats the personal contact with a guide and the opportunity to ask questions, get recommendations etc. Such a pity, as Pisa is a really nice cycle friendly town.
