Meet the Team Behind Tally Ho
Born in London, built on stories.
We turn big sights and hidden corners into the best few hours of your trip. Clever routes, crisp tales, and proper British hospitality.
By bike, on foot, or in a private vehicle.
Guiding curious travellers since 2011.
Loved by families, teams and travel advisors.
A note from Jack.
What makes a good London day?
Curiosity first. Backstreets over bottlenecks. A guide who knows when to talk and when to let you take the photo.
Parents relaxed. Kids engaged. Everyone leaves with a story. That’s how we run Tally Ho.
I started with a few friends and a pub at the finish; fifteen years and 50,000+ guests later, the spirit’s the same—careful routes, easy pace, and good humour—on bikes, in a black cab, or on foot.
If you want exploring that feels polished, unhurried, and personal, we’d love to host you.

Moments worth savouring
London tours that feel like good company.
We design small, story-rich rides and walks that skip the squeeze. You’ll see Big Ben, Buckingham Palace and royal parks — plus the juicy bits locals love. Think clever routes, British-made Pashley bikes, and hosts who keep things moving and smiling.

Our wheels & walks
British bikes at heart. London, your way.
We began on beautiful British-made bikes. Today we also host walks and private-vehicle days—the same spirit, at your pace.
The British bike difference
Upright, comfy Pashley bikes on quiet backstreets. Steady pace, photo stops, great stories—a gentle way to see a lot.
Walks worth talking about
Changing of the Guard done smart, historic pubs with proper tales, and hidden corners most visitors miss.
Private vehicles, properly done
Iconic black taxi cabs, Range Rovers and Bentleys for door-to-door comfort and a touch of glamour.
