Small Group River Thames Bike Tour

Overview

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, how a Native American Chief came to be buried by the banks of the Thames and why a Celtic Queen took on the Roman Empire, 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 world class galleries and replica pirate ships, taking in Shakespeare, Henry VIII and the turbulence of World War II in between?

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.

This tour does include a larger proportion of road cycling than some of our other tours and is recommended for those who have some cycling experience under their belts. Although we are unable to take small children on the route, anyone over the age of 12 who has comfortably completed our Royal London tour should have no problems at all. If you’re nervous about your child’s riding ability, our Private River Thames tour is a good option that will ensure a personalized guide just for your group. This also means that your guide can give you and your family/friends their full attention throughout the ride.

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 4 hour tour that will turn into memories that will last a lifetime.

Additional Information

The River Thames Bike Tour spends more time on roads than our Royal London Bike Tour therefore we recommend this tour for those aged 12 and older. Due to safety concerns for all riders, children under 12 will not be permitted on tour.
The cycling is not intimidating or strenuous but if you are not a confident cyclist our Royal London Tour will be the better tour for you.
There is not a restroom available at the start of this tour, so we highly encourage you to use a restroom before joining us!

All riders must be at least 12 years old and be able to ride their own bike. Any
guest under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
