This was a fabulous activity. We are pretend tourists as we live only an hour for London but we still learnt so much! We did the east side of things and covered a lot of ground and got to cycle over Tower Bridge (optional!).
We have a 12, 15, and 17 year old and it made for a great half day activity on our staycation to the big smoke.
Huge thank you to Jordi for looking after our family.
Can't rate this highly enough. Easy to find, near to Waterloo station. The bicycles were easy to ride and perfectly suited to the job. We arrived early, were greeted warmly, and introduced to our guide George. George was an absolute pleasure, enthusiastic and knowledgeable, with many interesting facts. To demonstrate George's passion, he's Spanish, but loves London so much, he gave up sunny Catalonia for London. I have to say, using a bicycle to "tour" London is a revelation. You can get around so much easier, moving from place to place in minutes rather than walking for half an hour each time. This means you get to see more, and can spend more time at each site. We nipped down little alleys, and through hidden courts that you just would not get to see if walking. I can't speak highly enough about George, helpful, informed and an absolute gentleman. When we returned the bikes to the starting point, I suggested to my wife hiring a Boris Bike to get back to Victoria station. George not only took us to hire the bikes, but insisted on escorting us all the way to the station, before setting out to cycle home the opposite direction. Thanks for a wonderful day.
A great bicycle tour of London. We stayed in London for a long time but didn't know that bicycle travel was so convenient. Thank you Brigit for your guidance, allowing me to fully understand the history of each great attraction again! She also cares about whether each member of us keeps up with her. I can see her looking back to observe members' dynamics from time to time. I can’t wait to experience a different route next time.
I did this tour with my 70yr old Mum and 2 kids, 15 & 12. George, the tour guide, was very informative and good at talking to all ages. He was a very attentive host. George quickly spotted that my mum was a nervous cyclist and so he ensured we went slowly along the roads, talked us through our direction of travel before starting off after each stop and took great care with us when we crossed over roads. The 15 & 12 year olds were sceptical of this activity at the beginning, seeing it as stealth exercise they were being tricked into, but absolutely loved it...to the extent they have asked to go again! I used my Tesco clubcard vouchers so got an especially good deal (though I would pay full price too) and the whole booking process was very easy.
Great tour!
Had an amazing time today in London. We did the family tour, our kids ages 12,10 and 8 managed well. Was a lovely way to see some London sites. Our tour guide Max was informative and very friendly. Can thoroughly recommend to families who otherwise may be a bit daunted by taking kids cycling in London.
Loved seeing the lights and learnt some great history too! Really nice cycle ride overall. Thanks Birgit!
Die Birgit hat es super gemacht. Danke!
Liebe Birgit, es war wundervoll mit dir. Du hast uns viel gezeigt und erklärt und hast uns einen super Einstieg in unseren Besuch in London gegeben. Wir können euch nur weiter empfehlen. Danke!!!
Great Tour!! This was a wonderful day and I would definitely recommend this tour!! The tour takes you all over London at a nice and enjoyable pace. We stopped often and got a lot of great facts and history which I wasn't really expecting. Our tour guide, George, was very friendly and knowledgeable. He shared some very interesting information and was funny as well. Amazing day!
Nice tour of the central London sites. We almost always take a bike or segway tour when visiting a new city. This one was fun. Easy ride on London's flat street. Weather is not an issue. Our tour started with blue skies and sunshine and by the time we made the half way point, it was raining. Not a big deal, added to the adventure. Our tour guide, Ollie, was awesome, 5 stars. Energetic, enthusiastic and committed to his craft. Great stories, full of interesting facts about the various landmarks at each of our stops. Bikes were in good shape. I would recommend this company to others.
