In the cold and rain, the bike tour is not incredibly pleasant. Dress warm, very warm, as I should have. The guides were awesome though and I would do it all over again. Just make sure to dress incredibly warm. Ponchos provided if it is raining too.

Despite the rain, we had a great time! Our guide was very British which made the explanations of sites even more interesting and fun!

It was great seeing the London's parks on a bike. We were able to see many things much more quickly and the guides were great.

Brilliant! Magic Mike was extremely knowledgeable and very entertaining. His recall of British history was phenomenal and delivered in such a way that it was very easy to get caught up in how life was back in the day. Cycling meant on limited time we maximised what we saw and got good exercise at the same time. Would highly recommend

Touring through the royal parks was absolutely fabulous! It is amazing how seeing sights from a different vantage point just changes your perspective. Do try this. Yes, even in November.

Great tour with Andrew! _br/_ Very informative and the pace of the tour was very good.
Review by: myndi o, September 2017
I really enjoyed this trip! Our guide, Andrew was very knowledgeable and fun. We stopped at many great places and learned alot. I think the only thing I would change is that we walked our bike a few too many times through areas we couldn't ride our bike in. Besides that this is a fun tour!

Really had a great guide. Don't remember his name, Saturday afternoon, guide on Sept 2nd. He took care of us to keep us safe in the London traffic. Stuck mostly to the parks, yet, we saw most of the important sites that you would want to explore later on foot. _br/_ Truly a wonderful and easy ride. All flat. _br/_ Do this tour.

Guide was great! Was perfect blend of riding and stopping to learn bit about the locations and sights we were stopped at. Bikes were comfortable and group size of 12 was perfect. Guide was always keeping track of us. Would eliminate the lunch stop. If it's noted in description then people can plan accordingly.

A great tour of the parks at a leisurely pace. Great tour
Review by: Greg C, August 2017
A great way to get a taste of the things to see around the Royal precinct and London's four major parks. Fun and very informative as well as being good exercise but not too strenuous
Review by: Michael S, August 2017
Completely wonderful! Easy bike ride. Love the parks. Our guide was fantastic! We started our trip with this tour and it was the perfect overview. Plus, the parks are a must see. They are gorgeous and could so easily be overlooked!

This tour is very good experience and nice way to visit london parks
Review by: Norman B, August 2017
This is the perfect way to quickly see great parts of the city with a guide that was very entertaining.
Review by: Jody C, August 2017
The day of our ride it was lightly raining. Riding through the parks was nice. Roads were all flat and fairly empty in the morning due to the rain. Andrew was our guide and told us the history with a little humor. We did have to ride through the busy streets once or twice but it was fine.
Review by: Heather L, August 2017
Loads of fun! Great tour- learned a lot of history of London with enthusiastic tour guide. Highly recommended way to see the city and learn a little too. The tour company could benefit from getting larger bikes- my 6'6" husband suffered from riding a too small bike. Lovely otherwise.
Review by: Steve G, July 2017
Good tour, only crtiticism was that the size of the group 21 was too big given how busy London was , and this limited the interaction with the guide somewhat. The guide, Gerard did a great job though, informative with good anecdotes and stories about some of London's historical figures. The route was well thought out and we saw plenty. A good way to get an idea of what's to see in London if you're there for the first time and what attractions you'd like to spend some time at. Also a nice bit of fresh air in the parks and gentle exercise.
Review by: Jerusha Z, July 2017
The guide was very friendly and knowledgeable and it was overall a great way to see a lot of major attractions in a short amount of time. The tour began at 3:30 pm and was scheduled to run 4 hours, but we were finished by 6:30 pm so really only 3 hrs in total. I was hoping to use the full 4 hrs to see more, but for what we saw, it was a really nice taste of the city and history. The company itself, the guide and manager back at the shop, were really helpful and knowledgeable and even offered some recommendations for dinner locations, etc. It was a great highlights tour, but you won't get the full detailed experience of a longer tour i.e. you see Buckingham palace but not you don't go inside or see the actual changing of the guard. You see several of the main attractions of London Buckingham Palace, Kensington Palace and Gardens, Trafalgar Square, etc. but you do not see London Bridge or the London Eye. I would recommend this tour as a starter to see the city quickly and then go back to the places where you'd like to spend more dedicated time. The experience was overall very good and the guide was great well worth it for the money!

This was one of our best tours EVER !!
Review by: ljensen, July 2017
Stephanie was an amazing guide. Best way to start out our vacation in London. We got a great overview of the city. The pace was comfortable and no problem to keep with the group. My husband and I are 72 and 58 years old but we are very active. Strongly suggest this
Review by: Sam R, May 2017
Nice ride through the royal parks. We had our own bikes, so really didn't need the tour guide, but he was informative and entertaining, so we had fun. It was a very small group and the day after the bank holiday, so everyone was back at work, and the parks were uncrowded.
Review by: Lea K, April 2017
This was a really fun tour. Matt was a knowledgeable guide and we had a great time biking with him and a bunch of nice tourists.

Review by: Heather A, December 2016
Fab way to tour round and see the sights. Saves your feet! Nick our guide was great. Very knowledgable and had a genuine interest in the history of London.
Review by: Mark W, December 2016
This is a very pleasant way to see London, very enjoyable. This is not for those looking for a lot of excercise. Was very leasurely. We did not want other tours because we wished to stay out of traffic as much as possible. This tour worked out well. They are the only agency that is able to pedal through the parks. The guide was very helpful and funny. This tour was on our 6th day in London and we saw many of the same sights but every guide has their own stories.
Review by: Georgina E, November 2016
The bikes we were given, could have been in better shape. We also were not given much assistance setting up the seats, handle bars. I would have preferred a more relaxing tour , we seemed to be pushing it from one location to another.
Review by: Carly H, October 2016
This tour was so fun! The guide was extremely informative and it was an all around amazing tour! We highly recommend it!
Review by: Rita B, October 2016
Highly recommend this adventure to see sites, no traffic to deal with. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable of English history. We had a great time.
Review by: Helene H, October 2016
Booked London Royal Parks Bike Tour based on experience with Fat Tire Bike Tour in Barcelona. Was NOT disappointed. Guide David was cool, funny, knowledgeable and every bit as good as guide on Barcelona Tour and that tour was fantastic! Great thing about Fat Bike Tours is that it orients you to a city while giving a smart, clever run down of history. Hope that Fat Bike Tours expands to locations in South America, Asia, Australia, and New Zealand.
Review by: Sam47, September 2016
Its was a highlight of our trip - something fun and different to do in London. Plus got to see many of the highlights of the city while enjoying a nice bike ride around the Parks. We had a great mix of couples, families and singles in our group. Our guide John was great and kept everyone together. I now understand why this is such a highly rated activity!
Review by: Kathleen F, September 2016
Exceptional is how I would rate this tour. Very historical and fun at the same time, riding through the parks of London. Our guide was quite knowledgeable and entertaining as well. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone going to London.

Amazing fun tour with Dave - a fabulous guide who was so knowledgable and had many funny anecdotes to share. Highly recommended.
Review by: Andrew M, September 2016
Absolutely one of the best ways to see and be informed about London! Our guides were well-informed and answered all of the questions asked. They also provided excellent commentary throughout the ride. They also provided excellent trip advice of places to go and see, as well as providing advising on things like times to arrive and some discounts for some recommended sights. Simply wonderful and would highly recommend. Definitely 5 stars without any reservations. Would definitely do again the next time I am in London and would definitely seek out the company's other trips offered in other European cities.
Review by: briannajordan, August 2016
Fantastic guides. Not their fault that it was a torrential downpour of rain that day. I didn't get to see much as I was too busy trying not to drown. It was so miserable for me that at our lunch stop where I knew my hotel was nearby, I asked the guide if he would hate me if I left and left him stuck with an extra bike. He made a quick phone call and told me it was all good. They left it chained up and would make arrangements to fetch it the next day. Really appreciated that!
