London Classic Landmarks Bike Tour with Local Guide

1.London Classic Landmarks Bike Tour with Local Guide

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,401 reviews · 3 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $55Our pick

Ride a provided bicycle through Westminster, St. James’s Park, Covent Garden, Smithfield, and the City of London. Your guide pauses for photos, stories, street performers, and a short break. The route is mostly flat and beginner-friendly, but you must be comfortable cycling near traffic and crowded streets.

“Fun tour through the streets of London to see many landmarks and interesting places. Ashley (sp?) was a decent guide in terms of sharing information, and he had some bits of humor, but for a guide was somewhat meh. Not bad, but not standing out as particularly funny or conversational with people on the tour.”
