The short version: people seem to have had a very good time. Your holiday time is precious, so choose carefully. We are not the zone-out-and-stare-through-the-window option. We are the stories, guards, pubs, backstreets, street art, unexpected detours and "well, that was brilliant" option.

“Wow! I know I’ll remember this London Gin Safari bike tour for years to come. Ask for your tour guide to be Katie… she is INCREDIBLE! So knowledgeable and an absolute blast. I felt sad to leave our time with her. Thank you Katie for your loving energy and generosity to us few tourists from New York City. This was the perfect way to end our time in London. HIGHLY SUGGEST!!!
“An absolute highlight of our trip to London. Katie was fantastic and we would recommend this to everyone!
“Katie was an exceptional guide, so funny and knowledgeable. And the gin was delicious! Highly tecommend.
“Best tour and got to see such different spots in London I never would have discovered!
“Best guided tour of our trip - Our Tally Ho bike tour with Tom was our favorite activity of our entire London trip! We did the tour on our first day after arriving from the US early in the AM and it was stimulating and physically doable. Tom was an excellent guide and provided a detailed yet digestible overview of London history highlights. The ride allows you to cover a lot of ground efficiently and in fresh air. The route is manageable, not physically taxing, and felt safe. Highly recommend adding this to your London itinerary.
“James was a fun and knowledgeable guide! Bikes were easy to ride and James also gave us lots of heads up at the time of taking turns. I really recommend this tour
“Great tour, great people. Edward was super friendly and showed us little gems besides the widely known yet amazing London spots and views.
“James was a great tour guide. He entertained us with his music, knowledge of history and stories while taking us on a memorable journey through the streets of london. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“James was the best tour guide . Would go back again , recommend a tour with him . Entertaining and full of knowledge 😁🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
“We had a great cycling tour with Edvard. Even though the cycling infrastructure in London isn't the most developed, the choosen route was relaxed with frequent stops to see and learn about the city
“Katie was fantastic! The private tour was an amazing introduction to London for our family.”
“Katie was fantastic! The private tour was an amazing introduction to London for our family. I highly recommend Tally Ho if you have younger children as they have all sorts of bike options to choose from!
“A most excellent way to see the sights in London. Jojo was so informative and a super fun host! Highly recommend!!
“Edward was a great guide! It was a small tour since others canceled and we got a very personalized experience. Would recommend!
“The London Gin Safari was my third Tally Ho cycle tour, and another very enjoyable few hours spent cycling in London. This time learning a bit about the history of gin in London. The cycling was at a good, relaxed pace, mainly in cycle lanes or paths, there were plenty of stops along the way, and the group sizes are deliberately kept quite small. The guide can make a big difference to any tour, and Katie, our guide today, knew plenty about gin and it’s history, and added humour as well as facts, to make the whole thing interesting and fun. I would recommend one of these Tally Ho tours to anyone, whether they are a visitor to London, or have lived in or near London for years, like myself. As it’s a great way to discover new things or places.
“The tour was amazing! I live in London, so don’t do many tourist-type activities. I am SO GLAD that I did this tour. Our guide, Katie, was absolutely fantastic! Would definitely recommend this to anyone who enjoys a gin!
“This was an amazing tour! We got to see so many of London’s iconic sights, and James was an outstanding tour guide. He was knowledgeable, engaging, and made the whole experience fun and memorable. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting London!
“Excellent! Great time with Edward on our tour with three teenage boys. Biking was easy but very pleasant way to enjoy a morning in London covering lots of ground.
“Guide Edward was fantastic, revealing interesting history along the route with an irreverent fun twist.”
“Great time, guide Edward was fantastic, revealing interesting history along the route with an irreverent fun twist. Bikes are in great shape, tour well organized with route etc, pub stop along the way. As an aside if you're walking here from the other side of the Thames it's a pleasant walk across the bridge but make sure you allow enough time (walking route gets convoluted).
“Een leuke eigentijdse tour door Londen onder een enthousiaste begeleiding van Edward. Leuke achtergrond verhalen en weetjes die je bezoek aan Londen extra verdieping geven. Een echte aanbeveling.
“Katie was a queen!! Tally Ho Bike Tours was the star of our family trip to London. Katie was so knowledgeable, fun, and helpful, especially as we had our two young children with us. She kept us entertained the entire time and we all learned new things about London. I would give this 10 stars if I could!
“Friends of mine flew to London from Canada for a visit and booked a bike tour with Tally Ho and we had a wonderful time. I’ve been here for over two years and I am so pleased we did this. Luke was our guide and gave a brilliant tour filled with loads of fascinating pieces of historical information and regaling us with stories I had never heard before. A very charming character indeed! It was all quite educational and entertaining. The bikes were comfortable and easy to ride- you don’t need to be an advanced cyclist by any means. We visited some of the main sites like Archbishops Gardens, Lambeth Palace, Westminster and the Parliament Buildings, Southbank, Downing Street, the home of T.E. Lawrence, St. Jame’s Park, Buckingham Palace, Clarence House (where King Charles resides- did not know that!) Trafalgar Square, Covent Garden and finished our tour under the graffiti laden Leak Street Arches. I highly recommend Tally Ho if you’re looking for a more intimate and exciting experience of Central London!
“We had a great bike tour with Katie around London, highly recommend to see the area around Westminster over a few hours!
“Had a great tour with Katie - she was very knowledgeable and guided us through the city safely. Highly recommend!
“We highly recommend Katie. This was a great way to see London and she was knowledgeable, fun, and an excellent guide!
“We did the bike tour with Edward today and it was great for the entire family”
“We did the bike tour with Edward today and it was great for the entire family so I highly recommend this tour to family and group who wants to experience London in a fun and interesting way
“London Cycle Experience - We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, the route was safe and exciting as we travelled around over land landmarks like Tower Bridge! James was very informative, making the afternoon very special. It was a great way to see interesting places as we rode around on the Pashley bike with flat caps and with James playing Gilbert and Sullivan music, as well as sounding his bulb horn to clear the way! Cycling round will be an occasion that we will all ways remember.
“We booked the private family bike tour and we couldn't have been happier. It was the highlight of our trip to London. The whole family genuinely enjoyed the tour and learning fun facts along the way. Our tour guide Luke was fantastic. He was extremely knowledgable and kept the kids engaged. Overall a great experience!
“Our bike tour with Luke was absolutely phenomenal. Luke was an incredibly amazing private bike tour guide who kept surprising and amazing us with his wealth of knowledge. We had an incredible amount of fun. Luke catered to our wishes, and we had a beautiful tour through London – absolutely recommend it.
“Tons of fun exploring areas of London that are lesser known whilst learning a bit more about the popular places to visit. Fun facts thrown out and overall an unusual and best way to enjoy the fab city that London is. Defo worth doing.
“James was amazing! We had the most fun and learned a ton! Easy bike ride even when crowded and fun surprises along the way
“Excellent fun touring around some areas of London we were not familiar with. Tx James for a really good 3 1/2 hours! Totally loved it!
“James was amazing. I had a really good time.”
“James was amazing. I had a really good time. Will highly recommend to anyone looking for a bike tour

Drop us a noteBecause if you have made it this far, you are probably either ready to book or one sensible answer away from it.
Yes. Reviews are shown with their review channel, guest name where available, star rating, date, and a link to the original review when a direct link exists.
If you want the classic Tally Ho experience, start with Landmarks & Gems. It is our signature London bike tour: royal sights, hidden backstreets, proper stories, and a pace that feels like a lovely day out rather than a fitness test. If you want something private, unusual, or out of London, send us a note and we will steer you properly.
No. Bikes are our first love, but we also run walking tours, black cab tours, private London days, food and drink experiences, and UK day trips. The common thread is not the transport. It is brilliant guiding, good humour, and a day that does not feel like it came out of a laminated clipboard.
Yes, especially the Private Family Bike Tour. We have child seats for ages 9 months and up, tag-along bikes for ages 5-10, and smaller bikes for older children. The pace is gentle, the route avoids busy roads, and the guide can flex around snack needs, energy dips, and sudden deep questions about castles.
You are not alone. Our bike routes are designed to be calm and confidence-building, with quiet streets, parks, cycle lanes, and careful guide support. If cycling still does not feel right, choose a walking tour, black cab tour, or tailored private experience instead. No heroics required.
Tours run rain or shine, and bike tours include waterproof ponchos. A bit of London drizzle is part of the theatre. If conditions become genuinely unsafe, we will offer to rearrange or refund. Our bike tours are also covered by a money-back guarantee.
Yes. We can build private London tours, black cab days, countryside escapes, Stonehenge and Windsor trips, Cotswolds adventures, and odd-shaped plans that do not fit neatly into a booking widget. Tell us who is coming, when, and what sort of day you want.
Absolutely. Birthdays, family reunions, corporate groups, school groups, proposals, incentive trips, and visiting friends who deserve better than a rushed lap of the obvious bits. Share the brief and we will suggest the right format.
Usually the same working day. If your request needs a little plotting, we will still acknowledge it quickly and come back with sensible options rather than a vague shrug in a trench coat.
For scheduled tours, pick the tour, choose your date, and book directly through the website. For private or tailored experiences, send us a request and we will help shape it. Public tours have free cancellation with 24 hours’ notice; private and tailored bookings may have different terms depending on the plan.
