An excellent bike tour that takes in all the main sites. The guide (Catherine) was excellent and bikes really comfy (Mary poppies style) bikes. Highly enjoyable even with the hoards of tourist we had to dodge. Highly recommend for all competent riders.
I was planning a weekend trip to London with my 12 year old daughter and looking for an activity for the Sunday on the Tesco clubcard days out site when I came across this. Booked with clubcard Boost so paid only a third of the published price in clubcard points which was excellent value. We both enjoy cycling but coming from the countryside would not have the confidence or the geographical knowledge to navigate around London by bike by ourselves. George (Jorge?), our guide was fantastic. We never felt unsafe and he constantly checked that the group (8 altogether, mostly American, and apart from my daughter all adults) were still together and ok. The route was mainly interesting little back streets and cycle paths. For crossing busy roads, we crossed as a group so you didn't have to worry. He was very knowledgeable about the history of the areas he showed us and also provided many other recommendations of places to visit in London. There were lots of stops and opportunities to take photos. Rather than queue for an hour or more to see the changing of the guards at Buckingham Palace, we were taken to a spot where we had a prime view of the guards marching to go off duty without the crowds or the waiting.
Also a thank you to the nice lady in the office at the Bike Company who held the group back for a few minutes as we were late arriving due to my complete ineptitude at map reading ( I told you I couldn't navigate ) couple with some of the tube stations being closed that day. They saw us coming down the road and had our bikes ready for us with seats at the correct height so that when we arrived so we could just grab a helmet and set off with the group. The bikes were good - no gears but you don't need them in London, in good order with effective brakes and equipped with lights and a bell (which you probably will use as some of the cycle paths are shared with pedestrians).
You do need to be able to ride a bike and ideally have some idea of road rules and safety but no great skill or endurance needed. I would recommend this to any able bodied person who prefers outdoor activities to indoor ones. You get a good dose of history as well!
Myself and my sister did the Love London Bike Tour with Olly as our tour guide a couple of weeks ago. It was such a fantastic experience, we saw parts of London that we never would have seen before! Olly ensured we all had fun and had admirable energy!! Would definitely recommend this tour, really was just brilliant.
I booked online and booked the wrong date (user error on my part!). The chap at the desk was very friendly and placed us in the tour for the day we actually showed up. All the folks were very friendly. Our guide was a friendly Frenchman who spoke perfect English and knew heaps about the history, architecture, art etc. throughout London. He was a very mindful tour guide and kept our safety as high priority. Highly recommend this tour. I'm sure the other tours offered by this group are equally marvelous.
We only had a day and a half to tour London so the Night Tour was perfect! We saw parts of London that we would never have seen without our guide, Birgit. A+ Tour
Guide George was really great. He knows a lot of histories of London and explain well. What a wonderful night I had. 야간에 유명 관광지를 다 도는 것도 좋은 경험이였지만, 가이드가 가지고 있던 역사적인 정보는 물론 지역의 특징 등 너무 유익한 시간이었습니다!
Would recommend this tour to everyone. Was delighted to find out that Ollie was our tour guide- he made it so interesting and fun for both the adults and children. Saw parts of London that I would never have seen without this tour. You cover so much more ground when you have a guide that you just have to follow
We took the Love tour. It will be intimidating if you are not a skilled rider. It introduced us to areas like Covent Garden Piazza that we would otherwise have missed. It is not only a bike ride, Brigit also stopped Ofer to share interesting information.
I have been to London several times, but this was my first time on a bike tour. Our guide Catherine was awesome! I would highly recommend doing this - it was a fun way to get around and see the city.
My adult son, my boyfriend and myself took a tour I scheduled on last Friday at 2:30pm. Olly was our guide and I must say one of the best tour guides I've ever had on any vacation. He was very knowledgeable about the history and shared lots of fun facts and made it so much fun. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to explore London. You get to see some of the more touristy historic sights as well as back streets that you would not otherwise see. I would even do it again if I visited a second time.
