We wanted to take a tour of London without sitting on a bus and found the Small Group Bike Tour to be just perfect! The group of 16 was split into two groups of 8 which made it easy to navigate and stay together through the narrow London streets. Joe, our guide was very polite and knowledgeable of all the points we visited. The ride was very pleasant and we enjoyed stopping to discuss architecture, historical significance of certain areas and buildings and the fascinating history of London. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who would prefer covering a lot of historical facts while sightseeing some iconic and off the beaten path sights in London.

What a way to see London. Our guide was a local Londoner which showed how much he enjoys his city.

We really enjoyed this trip with Jonathan. Went to a lot of interesting places. Very easy on the bike. Of course we had great weather. Jonathan was very informative and entertaining, he made history very interesting. Well worth it and great value for money.

The tour itself was very good. The stops were unusual and the guide, Nick, informative. But, there is no easy way to get around London on a bicycle with all the foot traffic A lot of the ride was spent weaving around walkers in tight spaces.

This bike tour was fantastic. Our guide was wonderful, shared great information and history, and he always offered to take family photos of anyone! Definitely recommend this tour to anyone who wants to get a great overview of London. You should consider doing it at the beginning of your vacation so you know where to spend your time.

Great, great ride and overview of London. Our guide...I beleive Beth was her name...was superb. Great overview of the trip including sites, traffic observance...riding on the LEFt side of the road : cause it's London, ensuring our young riders were close to her for safety. She was just great and made this crowded city very easy to navigate for us. Excellent history lesson, lots of river stops, and we rode ACROSS Tower bridge. Amazing for sure. And a yummy lunch stop in Borough market. highly recommend.

Our guide, Thomas, was delightful. I don't call 11 riders a small group. We found ourselves riding on walkways crowded with many pedestrians, which got very stressful. This distracted from seeing the "sights" between stops.

I would highly recommend any of the bike tours offered including this one. It certainly was an experience getting up close and personal with the London traffic especially the red buses!_br/_
The cobblestones made their presence felt the next day!_br/_
Our guide was knowledgeable and fun, the Irish accent was divine!_br/_
We had a range of experience in our group and everyone coped and made it back to base with lots of laughs._br/_
It's a great way to see a lot of areas that maybe you would not normally get to._br/_
The only down side was that there wasn't the Thames clipper ride as advertised, a bit deceiving as we especially picked this tour to take advantage of the different transports.

Fantastic tour! SO worth the time and money. Our guide was both knowledgeable and personable, and the places we visited were accompanied by neat historical tidbits and anecdotes. I loved the lunch break at the market, and being able to bike across both the Tower Bridge as well as London Bridge. It's a great way to preview places you'd like to spend more time at during your holiday.

Being a road bike rider I wasn't too sure about the fat tire bikes at first. But they turned out to be very comfortable when you are riding at a slow pace. I felt very safe with our knowledgable guide.

This tour was a lot of fun and the tour guide was very knowledgable about almost everything to do with London. He obviously loves the city which is great for those visiting to hear. Our group was only 4 people and it could have probably covered more ground as we seemed to have quite a long lunch break. Ending with a cruise along the Thames was lovely and I would definitely recommend this as a great way to see the sights of London and learn a lot along the way.

The bike tour was excellent and Josh our guide has a passion for London which made the tour even better. Bike tours are the best way to explore cities you visit.
Review by: Nick, April 2012
What a great way to see London! Cycling along the Thames was spectacular, and a chance to see pretty much 2000 years of British history, and all of the famous landmarks like the Globe, Westminster, the London Eye, and the Tower of London The guide was from London and covered this huge amount of history in a understandable way with great facts and funny stories. He also helped made sure that we cycled along safe areas. Being able to stop for a while in Borough Market for lunch was also a treat. Overall, just a great overview of London!
