Private River Thames Bike Tour
London
4 hours
Easy
Overview
Explore ‘liquid history’ and breath-taking urban landscapes by cycling both banks of London’s famous river.
With smaller groups, a different route and a focus on the people’s history, this tour is the perfect complement to our Royal London Bike Tour. Our tour guides offer legend and fact about a city that has united against great plagues, fire and war while developing into the cradle of modern civilization and commerce.
Along the way we’ll cover theatre, architecture, government, invasion, myths, truths and everything in between. Find out how one of our most iconic landmarks ended up in Arizona, why the Tower Bridge is a little bit fake, and explore some pockets of the oldest part of London, all from the comfort of one of our signature fleet of easy to use California Cruiser bikes. Your guide will be on hand to answer those burning questions and point out all that fascinating stuff you could easily miss if you weren’t looking out for it. Where else on earth can a few minutes cycling bridge a ferris wheel, galleries, Shakespeare, politics, royals and industry, and a world class lunch stop?
For lunch, we invite you to wander through the aromas of London’s oldest and largest food market (cost not included). Award winning food and drink from around the world is at your fingertips in the bustle of Borough Market, where a lunch break can feel like a tour in itself. After a bite, we’ll get to cycle across the breath-taking Tower Bridge, a uniquely London experience.
As always, our expert local guides will make sure you get the best pictures, hear the most interesting stories, and stay safe and entertained over this four-hour tour that will turn into memories that will last a lifetime.
