Description

Book a 3-hour guided bicycle tour of London and experience a refreshing and entertaining way of exploring the heart of the city. Your guide will lead you from Westminster to St Paul’s Cathedral, riding down both banks of the River Thames.

Bike Tour Details

At the designated time, the cycling tour of London departs from Lambeth Towers, on the South Bank of the River Thames, near Lambeth North Station.

Pedalling down the South Bank, you’ll ride past London’s iconic symbols, including the London Eye, Big Ben and the Palace of Westminster, which you’ll head to by crossing Lambeth Bridge.

On the North Bank, you’ll glide down the narrow streets of Westminster until you get to Westminster Abbey, the oldest church in London.

The guide will then lead you to St James’ Park and past Buckingham Palace, turning on The Mall, the elegant boulevard that connects the Royal Palace and Trafalgar Square. You’ll then cycle through Leister Square, crossing Chinatown and Covent Garden.

Zigzagging through the traditional English Leather Lane Market and Smithfield Market, the tour will finally come across St Paul’s Cathedral, the second-largest church in the world. From here, you’ll cross the Millennium Bridge and get back to Lambeth Towers, where the tour will come to an end after a total of 3.5 hours.

Fare un giro in bici con guida a Londra è un’esperienza che vale davvero la pena per chi vuole scoprire la città da un punto di vista diverso e più autentico. La città è piena di angoli nascosti e storie affascinanti che a piedi o in auto possono passare inosservati, e pedalare insieme a una guida esperta permette di scoprirli con più facilità. La ciliegina sulla torta è la grande professionalità della guida. Consigliatissimo!

Activité très sympa malgré une météo capricieuse. Nous avons eu deux chances : n’être que deux participants, ce qui en faisait une visite privée, mais surtout d’avoir une guide « Beckie » Extrêmement bienveillante et maîtrisant parfaitement son sujet sur la ville de Londres. Un grand merci à elle Translate this opinion into English.

Very nice activity despite the unpredictable weather. We had two chances: to be only two participants, which made it a private visit, but above all to have a guide “Beckie” who was extremely kind and perfectly mastered her subject on the city of London. A big thank you to her Opinion translated. Show original.

modo suggestivo per visitare Londra, che permette di vedere le attrazioni principali in relativamente poco tempo. La guida Olly è stata molto simpatica e ha spiegato il tutto senza annoiare. Unica pecca, c’era scritto che avremmo finito alle 13:15, invece il tour è finito alle 14:00 (per noi è stato un problema per fini organizzativi). Translate this opinion into English.

suggestive way to visit London, which allows you to see the main attractions in a relatively short time. The guide Olly was very nice and explained everything without getting bored. The only flaw, it was written that we would finish at 1.15 pm, but the tour ended at 2.00 pm (for us it was a problem for organizational purposes). Opinion translated. Show original.

Lo tomamos con Birgit, las paradas y la formación estaban ok pero nos hacía parar en lugares complicados, otros guías, un guardia y peatones le hacían comentarios de que buscará un mejor lugar para explicarnos y casi en todos los pu tos pasó lo mismo Translate this opinion into English.

We took it with Birgit, the stops and the formation were ok but he made us stop in complicated places, other guides, a guard and pedestrians made comments that he will look for a better place to explain to us and the same thing happened almost everywhere. Opinion translated. Show original.

Georges, our guide, commented on the visit in English and then in French for us so thanks to him. We discovered lots of different neighborhoods. We had just forgotten to plan some reserves for snacking ..... which would have been useful for my hungry teenager ;) Opinion translated. Show original.
