The leader knew his facts; our issues were with safety. My husband's bike had broken spokes that he bent back. My chain came off & was so bound up that the guide wasn't sure he could fix it. I was asked if I could do it. The idea of waiting for a replacement bike was accompanied with the comment " it will mess with our schedule ". After the bike was "fixed", I continued to go through red lights to keep up with the other 5 guests. At 1 point a cyclist not with our group held traffic so I could catch up. I heard him say"this group again". We rode through pedestrian malls when we should have walked the bikes all in the name of "keeping the schedule ". A 30 minute stop at a pub near the end could have been skipped in the name of safety. We are experienced cyclists; someone not comfortable on a bike in traffic should stay away!

This review is posted to the wrong business. You never came on my tour as I did not offer tours in August this year. My tour is located in and around Wimbledon and does not go through shopping malls and traffic,it only goes through parks and green spaces next to a river along a bike trail. I also never left a customer behind ever, nor has there ever been a breakdown of any kind on my high quality bikes ever! So I kindly ask you to remove this review from here.

The Bike Tour is a unique of its kind with the polite and cheerful guide Stefan. You get to see some very beautiful parks in South London, historical places and London's only operational waterwheel. The best part of these parks is that they look like countryside or track through a forest or beautiful gardens! Stefan knows the place well and takes good care to ensure you have a good time. Thanks Stefan!

We had a very nice ride along the river. Stefan was a great guide who really liked sharing his love for London. We saw many interesting things along the path and it was nice to be out the noise and hub bub of central London. The ride was along a level path, so it was not difficult at all.

Stefan was a wonderful host and guide on our recent trip with him. We booked this bike tour as a family day out with our two teenage children and had a great time. He immediately made us feel very welcome at his house and it was obvious that he loves the area where he lives and wanted to share that with us. I have lived in London for many years and learned so much more about this city that I had no idea about. The tour is a wonderful mix of bike ride and history and even has time for a lovely pub lunch should you wish. The grounds covered are beautiful and we left keen to explore more of London. The discounted price for the children made this tour very good value for money. Thank you Stefan!

I wanted something enjoyable and informative for my friend who just came to London. I decided to surprise him with the cycling tour - not knowing he actually has a fear in cycling. We couldn't do the tour but Stefan kindly allowed me to reschedule and bring another friend along without extra cost. The tour was fun and we really enjoyed it. For those who are nervous about cycling on roads in London. This tour brings you to ride mostly through the streams of water in big parks. Stefan is very knowledgeable and we had a memorable experience.

I recommend this bike tour highly. Six of us went on it recently and Stefan was great. He is an easy-going, knowledgeable tour guide. The ride is pleasant, the pub lunch delicious, and the tidbits about the area informative. Next time we are in London, we will sign up for another tour.

I will start by saying that I think the reviews below are very accurate so I will try not to cover the same ground too much. My group of three has done several bike tours in London and enjoyed this tour the most by far. Stefan is gracious, knowledgeable, extremely organized and a good communicator so everything is clear from the get-go.As many have noted, the bikes were good quality and in excellent shape and Stefan helped each of us choose the right bike -- so already, quite a contrast to our previous tours. He only takes a small number of people so there was almost no waiting around for slow or lost riders. Best of all, we actually got to ride, for really nice long stretches through varied and pretty terrain. And when we stopped, it was for something interesting and purposeful, not just to be told another trite joke about Yanks or Churchill. Again, a very pleasant contrast to previous bike tours. Finally, Stefan's house was very easy to find and a very manageable trek on the Tube for us from South Kensington. I strongly encourage anyone who likes biking and wants something more interesting than a short and choppy tour of London's major tourist sites to give this bike tour a try. It will be a highlight of your visit to London.

One of our favorite activities while in London. Stefan our guide was excellent welcoming us into his colliers wood home before beginning the tour. His bikes are in excellent condition and he made sure to adjust them for each of us. We were 5 in total. The 12 mile ride ( 6 miles each way) along a meandering river through woods and beautiful parks on well maintained paths was so much fun. Halfway through we had lunch at a wonderful pub. Stefan is very knowledgeable about the history in this area. Highly recommend this tour. Thank you Stefan. Mary Margaret, Ginny, and Emma

So, this became a private tour for me and my friend. Stefan had really interesting stories about mailboxes, pirates, and snuff! And a lot more! Well-paced and great bikes made this tour a little adventure for us. If you are tired of the normal tourist-traps, do this tour!

This is a must do when visiting London. A leisurely and easy bike ride well away from traffic. Stephan takes you down well made trails and paths while providing a great history lesson of early London. There are many stops and photo opportunities. Stephan was a fantastic guide and very knowledgeable and interesting. We would highly recommend this tour!!!

Hi Stefan,
We're visiting London this month, with our two children, ages 16 and 13. Would our 13 year-old be able to join the biking tour? Do you have any age restrictions?
Look forward to hearing back from you.
Regards,
Sue

Hi Stefan,
Is it possible to park at your house to commence the bike tour? I have a hire car and am based at Stratford so it would be more convenient to drive there. Me and my wife are interested in booking the 1030 tour on Wednesday 26th August.
Thanks,
Glen
