If this is your first time in London, we recommend the Gold Classic Tour or the Total E-London Tour to help you see the best-known highlights of the city up close, within a few hours. Booking this tour privately allows for more flexibility in your timings, travel at your pace, and for your guide to focus more on your interests, needs, and questions throughout the tour.

If you’re looking for a mix of history and modern London vibes, the Love London Tour is a great option. For something a little less touristy but still rich in modern history, The Original e-Bike Tour or the Destination London Tour are both great choices. For something more unique, you can try our Sunset Tour or book a Private Tour, which may be more suitable for families with children under 10.

If you can’t ride a bike, our guided bike tours unfortunately won’t be suitable for you, as all guests need to be confident riding in traffic and on public roads in London. However, you can still explore London with us by joining one of our walking tours instead.

Our walking tours are a great alternative, offering a relaxed way to discover the city’s landmarks, history, and hidden gems on foot with an expert guide.

Yes, we provide comfortable, well-maintained bicycles for all guests. Our traditional Dutch-style bikes are designed for comfort and easy riding, and come in a range of frame sizes. With an upright seating position, they offer great balance and a relaxed cruising experience. The seats are fully adjustable, making them suitable for riders of different heights, including shorter cyclists.

You can also choose to upgrade to an e-bike for an additional fee, for an even easier ride around London.

Yes, helmets are always required. We provide them free of charge for all guests. Wearing a helmet is a condition of our insurance when taking part in a tour in London.

Yes, cancellations or changes are possible, in accordance with our terms and conditions. Refunds are possible up to 24 hours before your original booking, and it may be possible to rearrange the time of your tour after that.

Please check your booking confirmation for details. If you’ve already booked but your plans have changed, please let us know as soon as possible.
