What a great way to get orientated to London and the major sites. The duration of this trip should not scare anyone away. It is flat riding and there are many stops. Ola was fun and knowledgeable, and very flexible in arranging our tour date and time. Notting Hill has small groups and provides helmets and good bikes.

Wonderful Bike Tour

Evie_P, Jun 2025
Ola from Notting Hill Bike Tours was amazing! He did a wonderful job sharing his deep knowledge of British history as we passed by many landmarks and always felt safe throughout our entire tour. We would have been so overwhelmed to ride a bike in London! He made the tour so enjoyable!

Wonderful bike tour

We had a great time on our afternoon tour of London with Oola. He was charming and funny and full of history and some fun jokes along the way. The pace was great. The parks were beautiful to ride through and the iconic. London landmarks were beautiful. Highly recommend.

This tour was a great...

Ninaand_S, May 2025
This tour was a great introduction to so many areas of London. We did it on our first day after a long flight which arrived in the morning. We spent the afternoon on this tour as a way to cover a lot of territory on a bike. We knew there would be plenty of walking in the upcoming days so this was a great way to get our first introduction the the city. Ola was our guide and he gave us so much information in a fun and upbeat way. He kept the pace comfortable for everyone and it was informative and novel way to begin a trip to the beautiful city of London.

Response from Host, May 2025

Hello again Nina! That’s was truly a lovely review from a lovely person❤️ Thanks for choosing London’s smallest bike tour company for your tour, your kindness and for putting up with me for +3 hours😊 Please give my best to the rest and a warm welcome back! Ola

Ovation for Ola!

Kim_D, May 2025
Brilliant way to begin a holiday in London! By cruising through lovely parks and along well-maintained city bike paths, you’re able to see many “must-see” city landmarks in a relatively brief period of time. Our very knowledgeable and witty guide Ola kept a perfect pace and created a terrific afternoon. He even offered suggestions on where to go next, whether a tour, pub or meal! A truly terrific way to see the city sites!

Response from Host, May 2025

Hello again Kim! The pleasure was all mine❤️ Thanks for taking the time to leave this much appreciated review and for your lovely attitude and kindness. I’ll count the days to when we meet again for another cruise around London. Cheers / Ola

Most Amazing Bike Tour

Lisa_P, Apr 2025
Notting Hill Bike Tours is exactly what you are looking for to see the major landmarks in London. The owner and guide, Ola, is a fantastic guide who shares so many interesting facts with you whilst playing music for your ride and ensuring your utmost safety along the paths and , only for a few moments, on the busy streets. This small group leisure tour delivers an action packed experience. By far, the best tour I've been on in London. Book now before the small tours fill up. You will not be disappointed.

Response from Host, Apr 2025

What a lovely review from a lovely family❤️! You guys rocked👍 Thanks for booking a tour with the smallest bike tour company in London. Bike tours are great and with people like you it’s even better:-) Do come back next time you cross the pond and we’ll see something else in this lovely City. Cheers / Ola

Engaging and fun tour

Rhiannon_G, Mar 2025
Ola was a fantastic guide taking us through the city safely on bikes. We were a small group of three which made the tour feel more intimate and our guide kept us engaged throughout.

Response from Host, Mar 2025

What a wonderful review from a lovely Rhiannon❤️ Cheers for taking the time for this and for coming along the tour! Please come back soon for another adventure around this amazing City. All the best and kind regards / Ola

Magnificent time and best way to see London

vimaladevassy, Mar 2025
We took our 15 and 18 year old son with us on this bike tour and it was the highlight of our trip to London- Ola was simply wonderful-highly engaging and entertaining and funny and educational! It is a tall order to keep teen boys entertained and learning and he did it with ease. You really can’t quite grasp the majesty of the landmarks in London from a bus or a car-you really have to be right under them and it is much too far to walk and the bike ride just made it so much more fun. Ola made sure we were safe and it was 99.5% very safe dedicated bike trails with almost no street travel. I am not strong biker by any means and haven’t ridden in a few years and did just fine. Highly suggest this tour -thank you for making London so memorable and bring in history alive!

Response from Host, Mar 2025

Hello again Vimy 🇺🇸. Thanks ever so much for this amazing review❤️ and kind words, it really means the world to me. We saw a lot, got some exercise and had some fun along the way. A great day out! Give my best to your lovely family and a warm welcome back! Kindest regards/ Ola

Hello again Lara and Timo 🇳🇱 It sure was a great day out and about☀️ Thanks for booking your tour with the smallest bike tour company in London, for the top notch review and for being so lovely couple❤️ All the best and welcome back!

Tons of fun and so much to learn!

Tracy_C, Sep 2024
We went on the 3.5 hr afternoon Landmarks tour, and Ola was just wonderful. We got lucky that it was just myself and my husband booked so it turned into a private tour. The cycling was gentle and flat, mostly on paths with a few streets. Lots of stops to rest, take photos, and learn the many amazing facts that Ola will share if you ask questions! He is a treasure trove of knowledge, and we learned so much just in 3.5 hrs. Be ready for any weather (we bought gloves and scarves because we came in fall and it was chilly) and to have fun!

Response from Host, Sep 2024

Bless you Tracy for taking the time for this lovely ❤️ review. We sure had some fun along the way and you even passed the “test”, congrats! Thanks for being so amazing and give my best to Brian (and Typhoid Mary😉) All the best / Ola

Wonderful day.. laughs.. learning and making memories!

Lauren_H, Aug 2024
Fabulous day with Ula! Learned so much … easy riding (all flat and bike lanes) and many laughs. His home made ice tea and muffins were a lovely touch. We’ve done many bike tours in many cities ,… this was one of the best. Highly recommend!

Response from Host, Aug 2024

Hello again Lauren🇺🇸 Bless you for these kind words, for being so lovely people ❤️ and for choosing the smallest bike tour company in London. Please come back soon for another adventure and give best to Miss Ellie, and Taylor S if you bump in to her😊 Cheers / Ola

Excellent Tour of London Highlights!!

Relief_J, Jul 2024
This was one of the best tours we’ve done…ever. Our guide, Ula (spelling? from Sweden) made our visit to London memorable. He showed us all of the landmarks we dreamed of seeing, plus a few extras. His command of British history was phenomenal. We enjoyed coffee/tea with fresh muffins/biscotti cookies on the lawn in front of Big Ben. He did a great job keeping the mood fun for adults and kids in the group. He played fun music and took requests. The people we passed while on the tour would start singing as our group passed. I really can’t say enough about this tour. It was all we hoped for and more!!!!

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Hello again Relief🇺🇸 What a lovely review❤️. You surely deserve the highest rating possible in return. Thanks for these kind words and for being so happy, smiling and kind whilst we were out and about this lovely day. Hope to see you again for more adventures around London and all the best / Ola

Our family of five arrived in London at 11:30am and booked the 2:15pm tour. It was a great way to get our bearings around the city and we learned lots of fun facts. Ola had interesting stories to share and was both entertaining and educational! I highly recommend this tour for those looking to tour the city while also getting a little exercise too. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️5 STARS!

Amazing Afternoon with Ola

Jeffrey_L, Jun 2024
Ola, the tour guide, was amazing. He was very knowledgeable and a pleasure to be with. You could tell he knows London well and was able to share a lot of interesting and fun facts. He was also very personable. He remembered everybody’s names and got to know each member of the tour. I have done other bike tours in London, but this one was the best.

We loved the bike tour of London. Ola is the tour guide, and was SO MUCH FUN!! He quickly figured out everyone’s names (there were 6 of us) and used our names through the tour, which made it more personable. And he has a great wealth of information. Highly recommend it!!!
