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.

“Seeing London with James from Tally Ho was so fun. We saw the main sites of London and a few we didn’t know about. My husband and I loved the commentary, history and good British humor of James. Thanks for a great experience. Don’t even hesitate to book this tour, it’s so worth it.

“Start your London Visit with Tally Ho. - Everyone at Tally Ho was friendly, funny and informative. Jasper, our tour guide was great (5 stars). This is a great way to start your visit to London because of the multiple sites and ground you cover on your bike. My wife and I were able to plan the return trips we are going to make after getting a better understanding of the geography and locations that we are most interested in.

“Hidden Gems with Edward! - A bike tour through London?! Yes, please! Edward, our guide, was delightful! Charming, engaging, knowledgeable, and fun! My husband and I were the only two people on this tour and it was dreamy! We biked and stopped at different spots (The original Roman wall, the sight of the Roman Arena, a mural in remembrance of the Battle of Cable Street, and, the oldest Riverside Tavern; to name a few). The tour was a tad over four hours and we couldn’t stop smiling!

“We took our 4 kids on this tour, ages 13, 11, 9 and 7. The 9 and 7 year olds were on the tagalong bikes which was fantastic—they had to pedal but not get crazy.

“Had an absolutely fantastic bike tour around Central London with Tally Ho London! Our host, James, was incredibly friendly, engaging, and exceptionally knowledgeable. What made the experience stand out was the way he brought London’s history to life with fascinating stories and historical insights at every stop. The route was beautifully planned, taking us through iconic parts of the city, charming hidden bylanes, and even to one of the oldest pubs in London — a place full of character and history. It felt like discovering a completely different side of London beyond the usual tourist spots. One of the best parts of the tour was meeting fellow travellers from different countries and cultures. The conversations, laughs, and shared experiences made the ride even more memorable. The bikes were comfortable, the pace was perfect, and the overall experience was both fun and informative. Highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to explore London

“My wife and I recently joined the Tally Ho Bicycle Tour and lucky enough to have a private experience. If you want to explore the city’s iconic sights on two wheels, get some great exercise, and have a lot of fun, this tour is perfect. Our guide, James, was outstanding. Energetic, witty, and deeply knowledgeable. He tailored the ride perfectly for just the two of us, maintaining a comfortable pace while keeping us safe through the streets and sharing fascinating backstreet stories we would have never discovered on our own. I have to mention his legendary mustache guard. James sports a proper Victorian-style handlebar mustache and carries a dedicated mustache guard specifically for drinking a pint! It’s brilliantly eccentric.
“Felt very safe and confident in the way in led us across busy roads and along every pathway”
“Back in the saddle after many years!!!! - Had a brilliant afternoon yesterday with tour guide James!! It was great fun and full of interesting facts that we didn’t know even though we were brought up in London. Felt very safe and confident in the way in led us across busy roads and along every pathway. Would thoroughly recommend these bike tours!

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.
