We really enjoyed the Royal London Bike Tour including Hyde Park. Noel was an excellent guide. He was very informative with a great sense of humour and made everyone feel welcome from start to finish. We saw so many famous sights and learned lots along the way. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting London. The tour was very relaxing and Noel our guide was completely chilled out.
Thank you! We're so glad you enjoyed the Royal London Bike Tour, and that Noel's humor and warmth made everyone feel welcome from start to finish. It sounds like you saw plenty of famous sights and picked up lots of history along the way. Hope to see you again soon!
The bikes are nice and easy to use. You can do this with kids. You see some beautiful sites and Harry is a great tour guide!
Thank you, Christie! We're glad the bikes were easy to use and that this worked well for your family, kids included. Great to hear Harry made it such a fun experience while showing you some beautiful sites. Hope to see you all again soon!
This was a great tour! Jamie was knowledgeable and kept us safe and together on the London roads. Most of the biking was on bike paths and we covered many of the major sites. Jamie was easy to follow and understand, and had great anecdotes along the way for all of the sites we visited. He made the places come alive. Would highly recommend!
Thank you, Sue! We're so glad Jamie kept the group safe and together on the roads, and that riding mostly on bike paths made it easy to take in the major sites. Great to hear the anecdotes added to the fun too. Hope to see you again soon!
The tour was so much fun! Bike seats are uncomfortable and I may have asked for the e-bike after finishing the tour but I feel so proud of myself for biking that whole way. It really was the BEST way to get a snapshot of London. Our tour guide, Arna from the Netherlands, was super knowledgeable as well and had the COOLEST stories you don’t get usually on tours!
Thank you, Kelly! We love that you're proud of biking the whole way, that's a real achievement, and we're so glad it turned out to be the best way to get a snapshot of London. We'll pass along your kind words to Arna. Hope to see you again soon, e-bike or not!
Hugo was fantastic! We had the afternoon tour on a Saturday so there were parts that were a little chaotic, but Hugo did a great job keeping us together and keeping everyone in the party engaged. We had the adults plus an 8, 10, 13, 14 and 18 year old in our party and everyone had a great time!
Thank you, Tasha! Saturday afternoons can get busy, so we're glad Hugo kept your group together and everyone engaged, especially with such a wide age range in your party. We'll pass along your kind words to him. Hope to see your family again soon!
Awesome bike tour in London. Fun and knowledgeable tour with Charlie. Got see some a lot on bike that you might otherwise not see. Definitely recommend.
Thank you! We're so glad Charlie made the tour fun and informative, and that you got to see parts of London you might have otherwise missed. We really appreciate the recommendation and hope to see you again soon!
Great tour with Stephanie! She was so knowledgeable about each of our stops, engaging fact and story teller and a great leader even though we were a larger group. This tour provides a wonderful overview of key London sites. The route is flat and easy on either a traditional or ebike. Have taken bike tours in a number of cities. Overall this was the best.
Thank you, Anne! We're so glad Stephanie's storytelling and leadership made for such an engaging tour, even with a larger group. It's great to hear the flat, easy route gave you a wonderful overview of London's key sites. Hope to see you again soon!
Upon check in, we chose a bike that can ride comfortably. My 5 year old didn't feel comfortable riding on the tantem bike for the whole during of the tour. They have to upgrade us to a tent attached to the bike (i don't know what it called). Cashier didn't seem to kin to give us the upgrade but eventually he did free of charge. Our tour guide Noelle was awesome. He's friendly and informative. He gave clear instructions and expectation. We really enjoyed the tour. Definitely recommend it.
Thank you for sharing this! We're glad the team was able to get your child set up with a better option so everyone could enjoy the ride comfortably. It would help us to hear a bit more about the check in experience with the cashier, if you're open to sharing further details with us directly, so we can make sure things run smoothly for families next time. Hope to see you again soon!
Our family had a great experience, the guide was very insightful and told some wonderful stories at all locations.
Thank you! We're so glad your family had a great experience, and that the guide's storytelling brought each location to life. Hope to welcome you all back soon!
Harry was excellent! Very knowledgeable and timed our tour perfectly so we could catch a bit of the changing of the guard. We learned a lot. Three hours was perfect!
Thank you! We're so glad Harry timed things perfectly so you could catch the changing of the guard, and that the three hours felt just right. It's wonderful to hear how much you learned along the way. Hope to see you again soon!
