Great service and experience provider! - We did a classic tour as a group the first day with Dominic which was fun and entertaining as Dominic also works as an actor and plays the harmonica. That wet our appetite to come back and do a private tour which was the Original tour with Jordy and we packed quite a lot in and saw parts of London we never otherwise would have seen. Jordy was full of knowledge and took us to many wonderful parts of the city. Both Jordy and Dominic have great senses of humor and are super friendly. All around we found this company to be a fantastic experience and highly recommend them!

Super tour - This was great! Lots of nice places that we ⁇ 't find on our own, and a good guide. Nice to experience London on a bike, you get a nice overview of the city, the river and the areas.

Amazing tour for beautiful views and secret spots - This was a great tour including parts of London we wouldn't have discovered on our own. We rode over the tower bridge, saw the financial district, a Victorian era covered market, borough market, quiet canals, a tunnel covered in murals/street art, and stopped at spots with amazing views for photos. Loved it!

Great stories of London - We had a great tour with Dom. We have seen all the beautiful places of Westminster, Campden and Waterloo. The vibe, stories, humour and relaxed time was awesome. Thanks Dom, London, and the bicycle company for the tour. See you soon again.
