We did the East end tour. Meeting point was central and easy to find. Lots of choices with bikes, all seem comfortable and well maintained. Staff very courteous and friendly. East end tour was very informative, so many interesting places to see, some really poignant, some really beautiful, some both. Matthew the guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. The pace... More

I had an awesome day on this tour and learnt heaps about London. Matthew is a great guide with lots of local knowlege. He introduced us to interesting areas of London, like a shopping centre that opens daily but it has no tenants just vacant shop spaces. Very interesting. We were a small group and this made the ride even... More

Great tour. I love biking but wars nervous doing it in a new city where I am accustom to people driving on the opposite side of the road. This was not a problem. Matthew is a great guide and I always felt safe and comfortable. Biking is such a great way to cover territory and see the city. Matthew is... More

The tour guide Matthew is more like a knowledgeable local friend than a guide. Very personable and well-informed. Does not just hit the touristy spots but explains every day life of the river bed scavengers, the Occupy Movement, memorials to those who died saving others, the council housing estates, plus the general history of the many eras of London. Being... More

Just got back from a wonderful trip to London. Biking with Matt through the center of London and the East end was simply marvelous! Matt was knowledgeable, thorough and very engaging. I learned so much about London and the hidden treasures tucked away in areas I never would have seen without him. I had the best view of the Changing... More

My Daughter surprised me with a gift of a bike tour with Cycle tours of London. She chose the East London tour and we both really enjoyed it. As it happens we were the only 2 booked on this day and Matthew was very knowledgeable and gave us lots of info about where we were cycling with stories and snippets... More

Knowing we would not be able to do justice to London's major tourist attractions in our short 2.5 days there, we searched for a more insider's look. We hit a home run with Mathew Tregaran's company, Cycle Tours of London. Led by the owner himself on a sunny spring day, our smallish-size group (7) got a history lesson full of... More

I highly recommend the East End bike tour! After having explored the typical touristy London sites (Buckingham Palace, etc), I really wanted to see what else the city had to offer. My guide - Mathew - was fantastic. He tailored the tour to my interests (the world wars) and had lots of information and stories to share. His passion for... More

I would recommend scheduling this tour at the beginning of your trip. Our tour (east end tour) was awesome and it gave us the opportunity to ride bikes safely around the city and gain our wherabouts. The streets can be intimidating without a guide who knows the best routes. With our confidence up, we attempted to use the city bikes... More
