What Our Guests Are Saying
More about the tour
What other London tour includes visits to sites as diverse as the Tower of London, an exhilarating view of the Tower Bridge, an exclusive Central London marina, Britain’s highest quality food market and London’s curry capital – Brick Lane, where we take a refueling break to explore some breathtaking street art, grab a coffee or even a pint at a cornerstone of British culture – a classic East End boozer (a pub!).
Inevitably, the tour has its wacky stories to tell – such as the ‘Leap of Faith’ by a London Bus over Tower Bridge; The Polar Bear that could regularly be seen on the banks of the River Thames catching its own dinner; And the ‘rude’ stockbrokers, banished from the Royal Exchange and forced to trade from the local coffee shop.
It’s simply impossible to summarise the amazing SECRET LONDON TOUR, combining medieval history, legend, scandal and modern glamour. If you desire to follow the road less travelled, then be sure to join us on the most secret of London bicycle tours.

Although we can’t promise blue skies, London actually gets less annual rainfall than in Paris, Rome, Istanbul and Sao Paulo. We do have ponchos in the case of light rain and, if it happens to be raining heavily, we will try and reschedule your tour – if that’s not possible you’ll receive a full refund.
Our route follows a series of cycle lanes, riverside pathways, park routes and lots of smaller back streets. Any traffic we encounter is slow moving – as long as you can ride a bicycle, you’ll be perfectly safe.
Central London is completely flat and there are no steep inclines for the entire route. The tour is around 7.5 miles (12km) long. There are lots of stops and a break at the halfway point.
We typically take a 25-30 minute pause at around the halfway point to grab a drink and a bite to eat.
Absolutely! We will happily store your luggage in our secure location for the duration of your tour.
