This was my favorite activity in London! The bikes were easy to manage, even across the bridges. Daniel was a great guide, I would recommend this to everyone.

I had already taken the small-group river Thames bike tour which was a day trip and I wanted to see the city at night. Both tours are good but I enjoyed the fact that we stopped at a pub for a pint on the evening tour. Sight seeing is always better with a beer.

I love Fat Tire- they should state they will meet you outside the tube. Our guide was fun and knowledgeable. The pub stop was perfect- it was a nice break, it is a pretty long bike ride and traffic isn't exactly light, I wouldn't bring anyone elderly or younger than 10.

This tour was absolutely enjoyable. Our guide, John Ashton was so knowledgable, funny and best of all, you could tell that he truly loved his job.. We were lucky to get John as our guide.

This trip was a great way to introduce ourselves to London. Our guide Johnathon S. was so personable and a great story teller. I would recommend him and this trip to anyone.
Jean N, Aug 2015
Great tour! Fun. The tour guide was excellent. He was a local, so extremely knowledgeable about not only the historical part, but gave information on general information about the city. Friendly and personable. Definitely take this tour if you enjoy a nice bike ride intertwined with history.

I would recommend to anyone, the entire tour was amazing
George G, Jul 2014
Great way to see London from a different perspective. Our guide Matt was very personable and knowledgeable. Thoroughly enjoyed the well organised tour around London. Nice to meet fellow tourists as well. I would recommend this trip - the fact we had a beautiful balmy evening definitely helped as well.

well worth the tour, dont worry about the threat of London traffic, safe.
Jaclyn F, Sep 2013
The tour takes you mostly through the City of London (which is different then what most tourists envision - i.e. not Big Ben). We really enjoyed that, as we wouldn't have known to visit that side of town. I actually like that part of town more now, because it is less touristy.
However, our tour guide was only ok. He was a nice guy, but sometimes provided some irrelevant anecdotes when describing a monument or site. My parents had done the same tour a few weeks earlier though and loved their tour guide, so perhaps we just had an off day.
Also, the voucher misdescribes the location that the tour meets. It meets in front of a tube stop, though the voucher says it meets at a building across the street.

This was an awesome tour. Jamie was an excellent guide and had lots of interesting information to share. Visited all the sights I wanted to visit. We kept a perfect pace and all got to know each other by the end. The stop at the pub at the end was a good time, too. I'd definitely recommend this for a fun, relaxing night in London.

We have figured when travelling abroad the most effective way to look at a new city is by going on a bike tour. So with this in mind we booked the Fat Tire Sunset Bike Tour in London and we were totally amazed and delighted with the result. The tour guides very extremely friendly, patient and so knowledgable of London and all its history. We came away with a more indepth and hands on look at London than what we could ever see from a bus. The tour was prefectly timed so that when we rode onto the London bridge it was dusk and the spectacular vista of Tower bridge with her lights was breath taking. We found that we went back to the special little places a few days later to have a good look at and realising the we wouldn't have known that they were there if not for the bike tour. I 100% recommend this tour to any one visiting London
Kristina_P, Aug 2013
It was a great quick way to see London! I only had a few hours for my layover so this was perfect timing for a tour: 6pm - 10pm.
Andrew F, Aug 2013
One of the best tours we took. The guide was friendly and educated and it covered south London at night in a spectacular way.
Michelle S, Jul 2013
This was a great experience! It was our first bike tour and I think that I have a new favorite way to see the city. Fat Tires Bikes was great. Our guide was informative and knew so much about the area. He was responsive to my dad's bike that gave him a hard time and made sure that it was fixed quickly. I would highly recommend this tour. Additionally, I will look for Fat Tire Bike tours specifically in other cities since this was so much fun!
