This was a brilliant way to see the city and explore places we wouldn't have seen otherwise. Mark is an excellent guide.

LUCY_C, Apr 2026
Good ride thru main downtown Mark was always ready to answer hour questions, some ups and downs to pedal,time to see many sights; i fell and Mark was very solicitous of my needs, he waited for me on several occasions(its been awhile since I rode a bike); bikes were easily controlled, we did not use electric bikes; Mark had pictures and news headlines to share; NO AI!!!
Could have gone longer with his guiding!!!!!!!!!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you for such a lovely review, Lucy. Enjoy the rest of your travels.
Paul_R, Apr 2026
Wonderful way to see so much of Cardiff. Mark, our guide, was fantastic - informative, funny, welcoming and really helped add so much to the tour with stories, trivia and history. Very approachable bike ride - flat terrain and roads that weren’t overcrowded. Even with a little cooler weather was totally enjoyable!!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you for a great review, Paul. So glad you enjoyed it.
JACQUELYN_B, Mar 2026
Mike was a great guide and so knowledgeable. He was very clear in his instructions when we were riding and we toured at a comfortable pace. We were lucky enough that it was just the two of us with him for the 3 hour tour. The Welsh cakes he treated us with were delicious and the coffee shop stop by the water was perfect. We would absolutely book again and thoroughly enjoyed our morning. 5⭐️!!
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you for the great review Jaquelyn. By all means book again if you're back over. You can try the alternative tour!

Highly recommend!

I have been to UK thrice and hands down this was the best experience I have ever had. This is the best way to explore Cardiff! Can't recommend this enough.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
That's a lovely review. Thank you. So glad you enjoyed it.
jeroen_s, Dec 2025
Very good way to learn about Cardiff. Humoristic Mark. With lots of interesting facts. And the Welsh-cake experience
Response from Host, Mar 2026

Excellent tour of both the city and the history/culture behind it! Mark was an amazing guide and gave excellent recommendations for things to do post tour as well in the city. Can’t recommend this tour enough!
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Sorry for the delay in responding to this. Many thanks for such a great review. Glad you enjoyed the recommendations!
Kari_J, Oct 2025
Mark is the best guide I’ve ever had! He was incredibly knowledgeable — also given to his journalistic background — and shared so many interesting insights and stories about Cardiff. From the very beginning, he was friendly, welcoming, and made everyone feel comfortable.
His clear instructions on how to ride the bike were perfect, and he made sure the whole group felt safe and confident throughout the tour. Mark was open to any questions and had thoughtful answers to all of them. His passion for the city really shone through, making the ride both fun and informative.
A fantastic way to explore Cardiff — I can’t recommend this tour enough!
Greetings from the Faroe Islands 🇫🇴
Response from Host, Mar 2026
That's such a lovely thing to say. So glad you enjoyed it. Must visit the Faroe Islands one day!
Mark and Beccy.
Diana_H, Sep 2025
Great way to learn and see more in Cardiff. Mark was very informative and provided a historic overview. He also provided additional options to explore in Cardiff and area.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Many thanks for such a warm review. So glad you enjoyed it.
Kristin_L, Sep 2025
Mark was very knowledgeable and considerate of our cycling abilities! With his background in journalism he was able to give us lots of background and answer all of our questions.
Charles_M, Sep 2025
This bike tour of Cardiff ranks as one of the best and most informative trips we have taken in our travels. Our tour guide Marc was a long time resident of Cardiff and provided interesting insights and deep knowledge/history of the area. His attention to detail in all aspects including bike comfort, speed and safety made the trip worry free and enjoyable.
Joshua_W, Sep 2025
This was a fantastic tour. As a solo traveler, I do a lot of bike rides. Mark's was exceptional and well planned. I had to change my day and he showed up even though I was the only one planned that day. His tour really encompasses a lot and is stunning. He even had a rain poncho for me ... and I needed it! Highly recommended!
AliAreeb_Z, Aug 2025
Very good . Get to see all the good things in Cardiff . Mark was an excellent host. Highly recommended
Erica_P, Aug 2025
Great way to experience many highlights of Cardiff in a short time line. Thoughtful stops and history explained. Tips on other sites and dining options. Caught art exhibit based on info!
Bruno_V, Jul 2025
Excellent and very lovely tour with Mark, he is very kind person and explain you very well about Cardiff in all the spots visited.
Leslie_M, Jul 2025
Great way to explore the city and venture into areas inaccessible to larger modes of transport. You can cover a much wider area faster than when walking and allows an even more immersive experience into Cardiff City sights and sounds. Mark is a great guide touching a bit of history as we rode along a safe cycle route. We had a taste of Welsh cake during our brief break. The pace and terrain is manageable for someone who doesn’t cycle much like me. It was an enjoyable experience. I highly recommend this tour when visiting the city.
Salvatore_M, Jun 2025
A “ Must Do” while in Cardiff! Mark and Beccy were fantastic hosts, and super informative. My Wife and I have a great time. The weather was wonderful, and the trip so well it. So glad we booked it.
Lautaro_d, Jun 2025
We enjoyed the tour. The tour guide was a journalist by trade, he was entertaining and had a lot of knowledge about the city and people.

Muchas gracias Lautaro. Thank you for your kind review.

Monica_S, May 2025
I had no idea what to expect in Cardiff but, after the bike tour, came away with a real appreciation of the town. We saw a lot, got in a decent amount of biking and thought our guide did a fabulous job. Plus the Welsh cakes he shared with us were so good I’m now searching for a similar recipe.
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Thank you so much for taking the time to write a lovely review. Hope you found a good Welsh cake recipe!
Paula_D, May 2025
A brilliant way to explore and learn about Cardiff. The guide, Beccy, was very knowledgeable & the 3 hours flew by. Cardiff is quite a flat city so the cycling is not difficult at all. Highly recommend this activity - best to do it early in your trip, as you’ll want to use various tips from Beccy for the rest of your visit!
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Really grateful to you for your lovely review. Happy to have been able to show you the highlights of the city. Thanks for the recommendation.
Therese_T, Mar 2025
We had a very nice time. Our guide was informative and helpful and flexible. It’s a great way to see a new city!

Thank you so much for joining us for a tour, and for writing a lovely review. 😊
Daniel_C, Mar 2025
Cycle tour was wonderful. Guide was excellent. He shared a lot of history with great visual aids. He was also very funny. A nice mix of history and humor and exercise. Appropriate level of physical activity even for me who doesn’t work out regularly. Highly recommend!
Response from Host, Apr 2025
Lovely review, thank you so much. And thank you too for coming on our tour. Really happy that Mark's jokes kept you entertained! 🚲🚲
Angus_T, Mar 2025
Every time we visit a city, we book a biking tour, and we think that this one was particularly successful. First of all, the bikes are excellent, just made for this sort of activity, unisex but without a bar across the top, making stopping and starting much easier. Our guide had an excellent knowledge of the history and sites of Cardiff and could answer questions on all aspects. Moreover, he was extremely friendly and gave good advice for the rest of our stay.
Response from Host, Apr 2025
We agree that bike tours are the best way to see a city. So pleased that you liked ours, and took the time to write a review. Thank you. 😊
Tejaswini_C, Mar 2025

It was a fun interesting experience i went on a day that a game was on so I got to see the atmosphere and characters at a match day in the city.

Response from Host, Apr 2025
Great that you managed to take in some Dr Who and Torchwood landmarks! There are plenty of those in Cardiff. Thank you for the review and for join us for a tour. 🚲
Alice95d, Jan 2025
This was a fantastic way to explore Cardiff. We saw the major historical sites and some interesting sites we wouldn’t have been able to find on our own. The Welsh cakes offered at the coffee break were delicious!
Response from Host, Apr 2025
The Welsh cakes from Cardiff Market are great - glad you enjoyed to tour too. Thank you so much for leaving a lovely review. 👍
