Itinerary

Set out from Waterloo and follow your guide along the Thames Riverfront and around the City of London. Experience a different side of the city as you cycle down the backstreets and past little-known historical monuments.

Venture into the vibrant East End, where you’ll get a taste of the real London, complete with stories of its sordid past. Hear stories of sailors, smugglers, and pirates as you pass through the old dockyards and wind your way along the inner city canals. Stop to snap photos of the famous Tower of London, cycle across the iconic Tower Bridge, take a peek at the legendary Borough Market, and more.

Great midday bike tour

Karleen_M, Aug 2024

We had a small group of four on our tour with Katie. It was a pleasant surprise to have a small group and it definitely helped navigate some of the more crowded areas. We navigated around some popular sights and many hidden gems we wouldn’t have found on our own. Our tour did go from 10:30-2ish and my only suggestion for riders would be to get a large breakfast before the tour. Or adding a market stop or making sure we have time to get lunch at the pub on the tour would be a nice option.

Terrific bike tour in London

Ken_E, Apr 2024

This was a great bike ride throughout London. Katie was engaging, knowledgeable, and very organized in terms of leading our group through the City. Highly recommend.
