What Our Guests Are Saying
More about the tour
Cycling casually alongside riverside pathways, cycle lanes and park routes, ensuring your complete safety at all times, the tour includes stops at highlights such as the London Eye, Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey and Buckingham Palace. We also go in search of the Spies at MI5 and the Horse Guards at Whitehall, along with visits to many other iconic locations such as Trafalgar Square and St Paul’s Cathedral.
THE GRAND LONDON TOUR also passes through crooked cobbled streets, hidden courtyards and alleyways, whilst exploring the grounds of England’s oldest library and most expensive Private school. You’ll wonder if JK Rowling took her inspiration for Hogwarts from here! A tour like none other, and you probably won’t need to take another during your visit to London (well maybe the Secret London tour!). Don’t delay and book with BrakeAway today!
