Ride vintage British bikes through industrial-chic London. Taste from the GinCycle as we trace the city’s gritty gin story.
“A unique way to see some of the more local but interesting parts of London, from Waterloo to Bermondsey, whilst being educated on the history of gin — with plenty of drinking it too.”
Dan G.
From £75 per person
The Gin Safari is a juniper-fuelled jaunt across London to reveal a story of gritty social history and the city’s turbulent affair with its favourite tipple, gin!
As you wobble (cycle) around picturesque Dickensian architecture, libations of ‘mothers ruin’ will be served from our GinCycle™, a rickety Victorian gin parlour on wheels.
Expect a gentle cycle, bustling food markets, colourful graffiti, fabulous views, interesting insights, crude jokes, and, of course, plenty of gin tasting!

“Wow, this was one of the highlights of our London trip. Katy & Eduard took us back into the 18th century and we learned a lot about the sorry of Gin. The tastings were great and riding the bikes through London and seeing some great sights was a lot of fun. There was also a nice artistic surprise at the end of the tour...
Lashings of gin! 3 tasters, 2 g&ts + 1 gin cocktail per person. This experience is about gin appreciation, not intoxication. We keep it safe.
