Well organised operation. Our guide Jacob was an enthusiastic teller of tales . He added colour and historical background to our leisurely cruise through the traffic and crowds .
Highly recommend
Ideal start for getting to know London. Doing that via bike turned out to be very diversified and a lot of fun.
Thanks to our excellent guide Nadja for making that so enjoyable.
The ride was easy. The tour guide was knowledgeable , informative, and fun. Even with rain the last hour, it was a great way to see the sights of London. I highly recommend....but take a rain poncho just in case. Make sure you get there on time. They are prompt!
We had a great time on the Old London Tour today. Charlene, the tour guide was fabulous! It was a great way to see things that you would not normally. Highly recommended
Olly was so passionate about London, it made my family and I want to move there! He had an incredible playlist that consisted of British musicians and every neighborhood we rode by had a different song. The guided tour was full of fun, humor, and HISTORY! Everyone should book a tour and ask for Olly!
We were lucky to have nice weather so it was indeed an evening very well spent. Our guide, Vaugn was very knowledgeable and gave us a lot of good tips for London.
Although I've lived in London for several years I went on the tour with my dad who was visiting for the weekend - so interesting and our tour guide was brilliant - clearly someone who loved their job. The cycling wasn't demanding at all - just a really nice way to see the city!
Our family really enjoyed this guided, narrated tour of the main sites in London (Thames River, Parliament, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, St. Paul's). We saw places that we may not have ventured to ourselves. Mostly, we were on dedicated bike paths. However, there were a few street crossings that we felt were dangerous - we didn't cross at a cross walk or lights, so navigating a group of 12 or so cyclists across traffic that comes in the opposite direction to our country, was very hectic and scary. I am not sure why our guide didn't take us a short ways to cross at lights. We also only had a 10 min. break to get food/toilet break and when time was up, he promptly left the park, assuming that all of us were following, and just left before checking. Overall, we were happy with the day, but realized that some of the street crossings were just plain dangerous.
Fantastic cycling tour of London's East End via the Old Town tour. My tour guide was Jordi, and he was superb; very knowledgeable about places of interest around the tour route. The route is a carefully chosen mixture of cycle paths and quiet stretches of London's roads. At each stop, after roughly every 5-10 minutes max riding time, there was a break, a chat about each place, and opportunities to ask questions, of which Jordi always had the answer. The route was mostly flat with a limited number of inclines, but nothing that would put off the majority of people. People like myself who may have liked to have taken a hire bike to London's roads but were nervous about doing so would do well to book on a tour like this in the first instance. To be under the guide of an experienced cyclist makes negotiating London traffic very easy. I would recommend this tour to anyone who would like to see more of the real London, to get off the beaten track and see some parts that tourists, even regular visitors to London like myself, would like to see.
Very interesting and enjoyable biking tour ! We learned a lot about our guide who also took a great care of all the cyclist, guiding them through the traffic jam, and taking time to explain the most interesting places. I highly recommend this tour :-) (26th July).
