I have been using London Bicycle Tour Company for the past 3 years and their service keeps getting better. The people at the Gabriel's Wharf shop are friendly, knowledgeable, and very helpful! I had an issue with a bike and they were really understanding and solved the problem quickly, making for a great weekend of cycling. I recommend renting bikes... More

After a day in London, I thought it would be great to go and see London by bike (as recommended to me by many people). The tour done by Alec was fantastic! He really knew a lot about the city, was able to answer all of our questions and gave us lots of recommendations. Biking to all the main sites... More

This was the first time ever that I went on a bicycle tour through a city and it was a lot of fun. Not only because of the great London hot spots or physical exercise, Vera made it loads of fun. Our guide informed us about historical and cultural facts that did not turn into a 25 minute- monologue each... More

We were in London for a long weekend and had a great time, but the best thing we did was definitely the bicycle tour through West London. It is a lot of fun to watch London from a bike. Especially when you have an execellent guide as Jordi Briz. Jordi is not only a very nice guy, but he also... More

Whenever I visit a major city I always book a cycle tour, its a great way of getting to know a city and makes up for all the hours stuck in a plane getting there. These guys certainly didn't disappoint. Tour was for 7-8 hours and in this time we explored the East side of London and the new soon... More

Will do it again when going to London. The Barclays bikes are everywhere but mutch more expensive. ***** for this one More

London is an amazing city with too much to see in a short period! So go by bike! Doing a Bicycle tour really is a great experience with the crazy drivers, riding on the left (especially the round-a-bouts) and of course the big buses that don't look out for cyclists! So your nerves are tested but it's worth it. Our... More

Living in London for 4 months, I have to say this city is both huge and hectic, and cycling there may sounds adventurous especially when you are not used to drive on the left ! However, the tour given by Vera was absolutely great. She really manages to give you London in a nutshell. She enables you to touch very... More

I went on a central tour last July, and it was included in my London pass. I'm used to cycling as I live in the Netherlands where it is my main mode of transport, but here in the Netherlands we are spoiled with lovely bicycle lanes etc... So I wondered what London would be like. As I arrived and was... More

I took this tour the first day after I arrived in London. As I am Dutch, I thought that cycling was a good way for me to explore the city for the first time ;), which appeared to be a good decision. This tour takes you to the main highlights around the Thames and in the City. Our guide Vera... More
