5.00The bike tour was led by Chris, a great story teller with a good sense of humor. He was knowledgeable and willing to answer questions at any time. Our tour was off the beaten track but also included larger significant attractions. We stopped for a bite to eat or a pint if you wished. The tour was 3.5 hours long and included intimate and not so intimate parts of London. I definitely would not have gotten around to many of the attractions and sights we visited on my own. Chris kept our small crew together and led us safely through the streets. Cheers to Chris, the shop owner and employees, everyone was pleasant and helpful.

5.00This was a great tour including parts of London we wouldn't have discovered on our own. We rode over the tower bridge, saw the financial district, a Victorian era covered market, borough market, quiet canals, a tunnel covered in murals/street art, and stopped at spots with amazing views for photos. Loved it!
