My friend and I wanted to make a bike tour on our 4-days-trip to London. We couldn't decide which tour to take so in the end we made two tours, the grand london tour and the secret london tour. It is hard to say which tour we liked best, on the great london tour we saw typical sightseeing spots and... More

I booked this tour online and all worked out perfectly. Well organized, we could take off with the whole group of some 12 people to discover London. Chris, our guide, is very enthousiast about his city and knows lots of pleasant stories about London which he tells with a flavour of british humor. Very much appreciated. Cycling in London is...

I booked this bike tour online, one week before I had a friend coming over to visit me. The booking process was very smooth. At first I was a little bit worried of cycling in the city, but that wasn't necessary. Most of the time the tour goes through small streets were almost no cars pass, so it's really enjoyable....

My mom and I had a wonderful experience with Chris on this tour. We were on a trip for my birthday to Paris, and took a quick detour to London for a day trip on Wednesday. I'm so glad we chose to do this for that day. Get off the beaten path and take a tour of London a lot... More

Chris made this sightseeing tour something special for my 15 year old son and myself. Inspirational and funny. Coming from bicycle city of Copenhagen and commuting to Work and school on bicycles every day, we were somewhat skeptical if this would work in the bicycle path less and crowded Streets of London. But even though our riding in the "wrong... More

Fantastic tour! We know London fairly well but had a chance to see it from a completely different view point. Our guide Chris was friendly, very knowledgeable and managed to be informative without lecturing (not an easy balance!). The cycling was easy and kept mostly to very quiet roads and pathways.We all loved the experience and our kids (12, 14... More

Went on Secret London Bike tour. Tour stays away from the main tourist attractions. Good off-the-beaten track tour, visiting east end, Brick Lane and its lively markets, Borough market, and Bankside. Good mixture of old and new London. Very comfortable bikes (plenty of cushioning in the saddle!), upright riding position, good mudguards to minimise splashes during London's traditional wet weather.... More

Chris, who looks a lot like Justin Timberlake, was a great guide. The bikes were fairly new and in good condition. The pace was brisk, easy peddling, mostly through back streets with little traffic. The positive comments made by others are, in our opinion, true. We saw all the major venues in Westminster, along with a brief commentary on each... More

Great experience and a wonderful way to see some of what London has to offer. Chris our guide provided a professional service . He was informative in his talks about the sights we visited without overdoing it. He was considerate of the group , and kept an eye on us all and although the pace of the trip was continual... More
