The price is very high, but it was really worth the experience to do at least once, we had a wonderful time with Doug as our guide.”

“We had a great time on our bike tour through London. Our tour guide, Lincoln, was very informative and also entertaining as we stopped at various attractions. We would highly recommend booking a bike tour here and if possible, request Lincoln as your guide. London is a bit tricky to bike around with the crowds of people and traffic. However, I would happily bike with this tour company. The experience was educational and extremely enjoyable.”
