Ride through London’s top landmarks with a local guide on a relaxed 3.5-hour bike tour covering Westminster, St. Paul’s, and more.

“My daughter was grazed by a double decker bus going through Trafalgar which could have been avoided by using cross walk. Tour guide was not local and did not have inexperienced or young riders near him, he took off, did not communicate the path or safety concerns along the way and put the group in dangerous situations. As an experienced cyclist, I was uncomfortable and worried for my daughter’s safety that I was riding along side to protect her as much as possible and could not wait for the bike ride to be over. I thought about calling a taxi several times.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 316 reviews · 2 hours 15 minutes (approx.) · from $95

“We booked this bike tour last minute because the timing worked, but I wish we had done more research. I’ve been on several bike tours in different countries, and this one was definitely below average. The route wasn’t the most interesting, and there are other tours that take you to much better locations with far stronger commentary and details about what you’re seeing. For the price, you can absolutely find something more worthwhile. My advice: do your research — there are better options out there.”
