My eldest son and I did this tour. We had a great time. Our tour guide was great, had all the requirements to make this an informative and entertaining exploration of London by bike. The little anecdotes that accompanied the facts about the places we visited are what make an ordinary tour into a great tour. A great time was had by one and all.

My bike start having problems half-way thru the trip. Lunch break was a little short. Would be nice if it's a little longer so I can hv the extra time to look around for a bit in town. But overall it's a great and rewarding trip. Lovely way to see London for half a day.

The tour was very nice and gives you a unique perspective of London. I would do the tour again and would buy from Viator as it made the process very easy.

Review by: TRACY M	July 2011
Everyone should do this bike ride tour, it is a great way to orientate you to londons main points and attractions, the parks are easy to ride around and you don't need to be an experienced bike rider.

Review by: James H	June 2011
The checkin person told us that the ride stayed mostly in the parks and as such a helmet choice was left up to each individual. The ride covers many streets, TAKE the helmet, you might need it. Good guide and nice ride.

Review by: Norman M	June 2011
We had a terrific time and the ride via the parks was safe and secure. Our guide was excellent and even though we live on the outskirts of London the trip was worthwhile and very informative. We had a great time.

Review by: Nicole R	June 2011
So much fun!! My guide was very knowledgable and personable. A must do in London.

Review by: Stephen M	May 2011
We did this tour on the morning we arrived in London. It was great as it helped us get over the flight (from Sydney with a 2 hour stopover in Hong Kong) and helped us avoid jet lag. The tour gave us a great idea of the layout of Central London and the distances between key places of interest.. The guide was excellent....sorry I've forgotten his name.

I love this tour. The company is wonderful, and you really get to see all the important sights.

Review by: Sarah S	October 2010
Absolutely fantastic tour! The ride was easy enough for any level of rider. We covered so much ground and saw so many sights. It was a brilliant way to get a feel for the city and identify attractions to revisit in more detail. I would recommend this as the first thing you do in London.

Review by: Joyce H	August 2010
Great way to see the city and learn about it while having a good ride. Not too tough and an easy ride through the parks. Would definitely do it again or in another city that has a similar activity.

Review by: Kathy B	July 2010
This is a great thing to do when you first get to London. The tour covers a lot of ground and you really get a feel for where things are. It is not strenuous at all. All ages can do this. Matt was a great guide! I learned a lot of interesting things about the landmarks and England royalty. Thanks Matt!

Biking through the city is far better than riding on a crowded bus. If you are able to ride a bike, this is the way to see and explore the city.

Review by: LaShaunda C, United States of America	June 2010
We LOVED the London bike tour. Our guide was great and the 4 hour tour was not strenuous at all. I would recommend this tour as an orientation to London!

I had a great time on this bike tour. My guide was very friendly, knew a lot about every location we saw and told some good stories. The pace was easy to keep and riding around was a lot of fun. I'd suggest doing this tour on one of your first days in London. Gives you a nice opportunity to see a lot of the city easily and then you can decide whether you want to go back and spend more time at a specific place. Very good value for the money you pay.

Review by: Bobby S, Canada	September 2009
Very good. It gives you a quick view of the key sites and history to go with it. Do it the first day you are in London so you know what to focus on.

Review by: Anonymous, United States of America	September 2009
Great bike tour. The guides were energetic and informative. It's a fun way to see a few of the most popular places in London while getting a good background on the sights.

This is the best way to introduce yourself to London. Our tour leader was extremely passionate about the history and the sites of the city, making it both fun and educational. The bikes we used made it easy to cruise through the streets, parks, and some hidden places that you normally would not see from a tour bus. I especially enjoyed stopping by the memorial to Princess Diana and the ride through Kensington Gardens.
