Fietstour Londens best bewaarde geheim
Beschrijving
Dit is een fascinerende fietstocht, vrij van gemotoriseerd verkeer, met een maximale groepsgrootte van 7 personen, langs een mooie rivier met veel stopplaatsen onderweg om te genieten van de prachtige parken, de flora en fauna, waterraderen, een lokale markt, cottages, kerken en een oud dorp dat onderdeel werd van Londen. U stopt ook bij een fraaie, 17e-eeuwse pub voor lunch of versnaperingen. Een enthousiaste lokale gids, die al 20 jaar woonachtig is in het gebied, ontmoet u bij zijn honderd jaar oude huis en leidt u over kronkelende paden op deze 4-5 uur/20 km lange ontspannen rit door een betoverend deel van Londen waar ooit een kerk stond die zo groot was als Westminster Abbey en waar een koning werd gekroond. Bent u klaar voor een tocht door een vreedzame wereld van weelderig groen en rust? Op slechts korte afstand van het drukke centrum van Londen wacht u een andere wereld.

Stefan provides an amazing experience on a ride 20 minutes outside of central London starting in the borough of Collier Woods. His bikes are in great condition and quality bikes, both mountain and gravel bikes. About 14 miles with multiple stops and the ride is flat, mostly along a little river. Stop at a pub for lunch and great discussion. Very helpful to be experienced biker as that allows Stefan to optimize your experience. Definitely recommend if you are a biker and want to experience green outdoor London.
We love exploring strange places by bike and this tour of a green, historic and rather unknown part of London was really a highlight of our week in London. Stephan is super sympathetic and has reported very knowledgeably and vividly about the history of the places at many stops. We were even able to visit a historic textile mill and of course a stop at a historic pub was not missing (very delicious food/beer). The bikes were in top condition and a matching helmet was also available. The tour is easy to manage and the 4 hours have passed as if in flight. When we come back to London, we will definitely contact Stefan and book a tour again. Birgit and Andreas from Hamburg
I was the only crazy Dutchy to book this tour on a grey Monday morning in December. Still great fun, been to Londen a few times but have never seen the sights we saw today. Stefan was great and knew a lot about the area. I imagine the tour to be even more appealing in spring, summer or early autumn. Really recommend it if you want to do something different in London!
An absolutely wonderful bike tour. We were looking for something outside the city, having done those bike tours a few times, and this was perfect. We rode on a bike trail that connected parks, gardens, and past mills and waterways. The pace was great, the scenery outstanding and Stefan was a fantastic guide. Highly recommend it for anyone who likes to explore new areas in an active way.
Great experience biking along parks on the outskirts of London - ~20k bike ride pausing to learn about the history of the buildings and the little towns. Would recommend to others visiting the area :)
Are you in London and feeling like you need some greenery or forest? This is your tour! We rode along the Wandles River, saw a working water mill and where Liberty scarves and William Morris tapestries were made. Lots of time in parkland and forest, like a cool drink of water for those overwhelmed by the city. Stefan was personable, and a great guide. He shared some amazing history, from grand scale (Elizabeth 1) to a fellow who took over a public garden and lavished his time and artistic skills on the small plot of land. Highly recommend - learn about this part of London! Also, super easy to get there and back via the underground or train.
Stefan led us on a wonderful ride through parks, forest trails and small villages- providing interesting commentary about the history of the sites along the way. We stopped for lunch in a picturesque small village at a charming small inn (everyone loved their meal!). This was truly a unique experience- I would recommend his tour highly. Note that our group was not an especially athletic bunch (some hadn't been on a bike in years) and it was an easily manageable.
I would highly recommend this tour. It was a great way to see another part of London. And it was a nice change from walking and taking the tube. Visited mills and learned a little bit about the history of the area. Had a nice snack half way. Great experience overall and my kids (17 and 21) really enjoyed it too.
We had a great ride on pathways along the river. Saw some great old mill sites and enjoyed our stop at an old pub for a pint. Stefan was an excellent guide as he had great knowledge of the area and ensured we biked at a pace that was enjoyable. A nice way to get some exercise while seeing some hidden treasures. Thanks Stefan for being accommodating with our late arrival. An excellent start to our London vacation.
It was a fun day and learned a lot about the old wheelhouse along the river which was an industry then. Trails were great serene parks and perfect weather to enjoy the ride!
