Riding a tandem through Pisa turns movement into collaboration: two riders, one machine, and routes that thread through the city’s famed sights and the wider Tuscan landscape. Smile & Ride’s Tandem Experience pairs the social ease of a shared ride with an app-driven itinerary that can take you from the narrow alleys around Piazza dei Miracoli to the open greenery of Parco di San Rossore or the historic walls of Lucca.

THE PARTNERSHIP

Tandem as Shared Adventure

The tandem is framed as a collaborative vehicle: riding together amplifies the fun and turns every turn and climb into a shared effort, making the outing inherently social and cooperative.

THE SITES

From Piazza dei Miracoli to the Tuscan Green

App-guided itineraries visit Pisa’s iconic Piazza dei Miracoli and can extend to regional highlights mentioned for tandem routes, including the walls of Lucca and the Park of San Rossore.

THE ACCESS

Inclusive by Design

The tandem is promoted as an inclusive option: accessible to visually impaired riders accompanied by a partner, with a 10% discount available for members of the Italian Union of the Blind and Visually Impaired.
