We had an excellent tour around the main sights of the East end of London with Jordi. He was an amazing guide, knowing lots of cut throughs and interesting facts about the rich history of the area. Jordi was a superb guide - he kept the trip moving along nicely and showed a wide variety of the sights, sounds and smells of the big city. I would highly recommend this trip - and the e-bikes were lovely!
Thank you for your great review!
Very Great Tour. Please don‘t miss!

Accompanied by Georges, our French-speaking guide we took a wonderful tour of this part of London. It was very rewarding. In addition the welcome to the company site is very friendly.

We did the tour with our guide, Birgit, who had a lot of interesting facts to tell about East London. I was hardly familiar with the area and learnt a lot listening to everything she shared with us. Thanks a lot Birgit for such a fascinating afternoon.
Thank you very much for the nice review. I am glad you had a good time. Birgit
We did the London origional bike tour with Chris, it was an awesome expierence. We loved that we did not only see some of the most important touri spots but also went to less touristic places - in fact, we felt like locals ourself. You did a great job Chris!
The original is my favourite tour to do. I love exploring the docklands where no one goes and I’m glad you enjoyed. All the best x
We covered many sites and areas. Dom was fabulous and able to let us stop and take pictures. Loved the stop at St Katharine’s Docks. It was all going so lovely until the rain and then we were soaked and very windy. Life in London. I would recommend it and upgrade to an e-bike for my knees.
Hi Patricia, Thanks so much for the 5 star review and sharing your experience here. Yes, it sure did rain that day, gosh we all got soaked! I was grateful for yours and Tom's upbeat attitude throughout the rain though. Thanks. I hope ye both enjoyed the rest of your stay in London. Best, Dominic
Very efficient with bookings and a lovely welcome when we arrived with clean toilets and they were happy to store my small bag. Chris our guide was outstanding - so knowledgeable, friendly making everyone feel at ease, patient making sure no one got left behind. (I'm a Londoner but I learnt and went to a few places that I have never visited). A brilliant afternoon.
It was lovely to have you on the tour. Doing the East London tour is my favourite as we go to places people don’t usually go to and visit my favourite riverside pub.
As a first time visitor to London, this was a great way to see sites and hear interesting facts about the city. Our guide, Chris, was very personable and gave us a lot of neat tidbits. We got to see sites that probably a lot of tourists don’t see. I’ m not in the best shape but I was able to manage the ride okay.
Thanks for the review Tres. I’m glad you both liked it, and thanks for sticking with me through the sporadic showers. You got the true London experience: rain, sun, rain, sun!
This was our favorite tour on our trip and our guide, Chris, was phenomenal! He was so knowledgeable and funny! We loved bike riding around London!
Fitness and some bike skills are necessary. The knowledge and passion of the guide on the history of the city Of London made the trip more enjoyable. Would definitely recommend the trip and our guide George.
