Bike tour of London before Christmas
Corrine was a fantastic guide to see the highlights of London by bike a few days before Chrismas 2019.

Absolutely the best way to do the lights in London. Our guide Olly was very informative where required and adapted to the group who were also very nice. There was a mixed group of about 10, couple of families (including a 10ish your old child), couples and singles. Cycling through London was much easier than I'd anticipated, there's a lot more cycle lanes than i remember and drivers were pretty considerate where there weren't dedicated cycle lanes. You do end up walking with bikes in small sections through some of the busiest areas (Oxford Street, Regent Street & Carnaby Street) but as you have a bike it actually makes it much less hassle than being a pure pedestrian. Will certainly be coming back again (with my 80 year old parents), I reckon this is the best way to see London, enjoy!!
One of the top tours to see London in a different way. Birgit was an excellent guide. I am trying to check in in another tour today!!
I joined the Christmas Light tour on 23 Dec, it was amazing. The tour guide was great! He was very nice and patient, told us a lot of history about London and our tour over-run almost an hour. It was wonderful experience. Highly recommended!!!!!!!
I am Londoner however I decided to into the London Christmas Lights Tour to rediscover in an alternative way. I took the tour today and I found the experience lovely, instructive and very enjoyable enjoyable. Jordi is a knowledgeable and cool guide.
We had a fantastic evening with our guide Catherine. She was very patient with us, gave us plenty of photo opportunities and always ensured we were safe, as the streets were crowded and roads very busy. The views of the lights were expectacular, and we discovered areas of London we've never seen before. Catherine was very aware of our needs as a deaf group and kept a good pace for us, ensure the group was always together.
Great, highly recommended if you would like to know more about the history of London. George is an amazing tour guide :)
Catherine was a fantastic guide on our bike tour of London today. High recommend tour of way to see the city sights
We went to see the Christmas lights (but I'm sure the tour would be just as good without them) and had a great three hours plus, riding from South London over Westminster Bridge to Parliament Square, then on to Oxford Street, Regents Street, Carnaby Street, the Kings Road, Covent Garden, Hyde Park, Seven Dials, etc. and saw places like Harrods and lots of other places - if there were lights we saw them. Finishing up on the Strand before heading back over Waterloo Bridge.
The bikes were good (three gears - but as there were no hills involved they were more than adequate) and the tour guide was excellent, knowledgeable and patient.
I wasn't over keen on going on this tour but I'm so glad I did - Brilliant.
One thing though I think you need to be confident on a bike in traffic to fully enjoy the experience.
Birgit gave us a really interesting tour including sections of waterways in central London which were hidden gems. We also cycled past interesting architecture from through the ages which Birgit was able to tell us about in an informative manner.
The entire tour was flat, and easy to navigate thanks to Birgits care.
