Meet the Team Behind Tally Ho
Born in London.
Built on stories
Meet the rascals and raconteurs who've been dreaming up London adventures since 2011. Proper bikes, cracking stories, and just the right amount of mischief.
What makes a good
London day?
Curiosity first.
The details that make you the interesting one at dinner.
Backstreets, not bottlenecks.
No crowds. No queuing. No craning over someone's iPhone.
A guide who knows when to chat and when to step aside for the shot.
A real person, not a script.
Parents relaxed. Kids engaged. Everyone leaves with a story.
Teenagers get the gritty details. Little ones get ice cream stops.
A note from Jack.
I started Tally Ho in 2011 because I kept watching buses full of visitors gaze out at London like goldfish in a bowl, rolling past the best bits without ever stepping inside. I thought if I could take ten of those people, put them on proper British bicycles, and ride them through the backstreets to the award-winning pubs with creaky floorboards and centuries-old beer stains, they'd fall in love with this city the way I had.
We believe the best travel happens when you slow down enough to actually connect. With the city, with the story, with the people beside you. That shapes every route we design, whether on foot, by bike, by black cab, or in a fine British motor.
We're building something London's been missing: the most personal, thoughtful way to explore this city. We would love to host you.
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 — but also the backstreet pubs, secret gardens and neighbourhood markets that make London unforgettable.

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.
