Easy Exercise Seeing Some London Sites (big & small) With A Wonderful Guide - Riding the one speed classically made British bikes (with baskets and bells) was a hoot! The bikes, all in very good condition, handled nicely on cobblestones and even crowded squares. Bikes were easy to get on/off. We viewed some of the big attractions along with some even more interesting small sites on the back streets on either side of the Thames. Our guide, Brian, was witty, keenly informative, and a gem. A great way to see and get a feel for London and its history in a relatively short period of time. The small group of 8 worked very well together. The old pub where we stopped for a break (pint) had genuine soul. The renowned graffiti (typically not my kind of thing) was surprisingly well done as these designated areas attract the artistic types of graffiti artists. I felt safe throughout. Brian even went the extra distance to guide me to the train station upon completion. I was alone this time, but hope to return with my family someday to do it again! Great fun on a beautiful April day.

A delightful afternoon with two Jameses. - This bike tour was the highlight of my week. Picture your favourite teacher from school - the one who knew all the juicy historical tidbits and shared them with you as if they were naughty secrets between friends - that’s James, our dynamic and engaging guide. I’m a fan in general of bike tours, and this one did not disappoint. I enthusiastically recommend this tour, and be sure to request James - he is a gem! Also terribly handy he has the same name as my husband, so that when I had a question or remark, I got double the notice.

James was super entertaining, great way to see most of Londons landmarks! - I did this with one friend (who took the pic) and our guide was James. We were joined by two couples and one solo traveler. It was the perfect size group for this type of activity! The bikes were great quality/well-maintained and rode smoothly with a nice basket to store your belongings on the front. Weather was on our side and it even got pretty sunny! The wind is a bit more biting on the bike so definitely layer up and if you need to strip your coat, you can! Also would recommend gloves unless you know it's going to be warm. Your knuckles will thank you! James was very funny, entertaining, and made 3.5 hours fly by! You see the sights of London (mostly Westminster/South Bank areas) with some stops for history, context, and some humorous anecdotes. James was great about keeping us engaged with questions and questions to get to know us/our preconceived notions on London. He even timed it out so we caught the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace! Just make sure you go M/W/F/Sun if that's important to you! This is an amazing "first morning in London" activity to get yourself familiar with the iconic/touristy area. It's a good value and doesn't wear you out completely like a walking tour might. The pub stop in the middle is nice for a little rest/bathroom break/refreshment and wasn't too long or too short. Heads up, you don't spend a LOT of time on the South Bank where a lot of the must sees are but he did make sure to stop and point some things out. Honestly, it would not be fun to ride along the South Bank for a long time due to the sheer amount of people walking in your way. You will not see the London Bridge, Tower Bridge, Shakespeare's Globe, etc. on this tour so fair warning there. Easy to walk down there yourself after the experience ends.

Top level - professional guide who is able to manage the whole experience and make everyone feel safe and involved. - James was fantastic ... there were 4 of us. He immediately learned everyone's names and began interacting with everyone. His professionalism and knowledge of the city - with many interesting and funny anecdotes held everyone's attention. His ability to navigate all the crosssings and make everyone feel safe was also impressive and allowed us to really enjoy what we were seeing and learning. The pace was just right - we stopped every few minutes to learn something new. Some parts of the Malle were closed due to the upcoming marathon and James deftly adjusted on the fly. We had a longer stop at a pub and had a drink together where the conversation was interesting and fun. The 3 hours flew by and I felt it ended too soon.... Biggest thing was the bicycle really allows you to see and feel the city that walking or a bus does not. Best thing we did all week....

So enjoyable and interesting! - Loved the tour with Katie she had so many fascinating pieces of historical information to share with us that were so interesting! Unfortunately the weather worked against us during this tour! Would highly recommend this tour company but make sure you watch the weather and plan for a sunny, dry day!
