Couples

The best of London, perfectly timed.

Pedal past landmarks, riverside paths, and quiet backstreets made for two. Snap that photo by Big Ben, steal a moment by the Thames, and finish with a pint of local ale in a cosy historic pub. Every stop's planned to perfection so you can simply enjoy the magic together.

Wonderful tour! My daughter and I explored London by bike with James and saw so much more than on a bus. It was the perfect mix of culture, fun, and fresh air. Highly recommend to anyone visiting the city.

Our private family tour was extraordinary. Katie looked after everyone, kept the kids engaged, and had us laughing the whole time. The pace was relaxed, the stories were brilliant, and it truly felt like a once-in-a-lifetime morning in London.

My second Tally Ho tour and just as brilliant as the first. The City & Secrets route was relaxed, insightful, and full of surprises. Edward was a superb guide who made the day feel personal and fun.

Tally Ho was the most fun we've ever had on a bike tour. James kept us entertained and smiling from start to finish. We're already planning to ride again on our next London trip.

Common questions

Everything you need to know

Planning a London adventure? Here are the answers our guests ask most.

We're a small, owner-run team — not a franchise. Every tour is led by one of our own guides who lives in London and knows the city intimately. We keep groups small (max 10 on bike tours), ride proper British-made bikes, and build our routes around the quiet backstreets and hidden corners that bigger operators skip. Think of it less as a tour and more as exploring with a well-connected local friend.

Not at all. Our routes are flat, follow cycle lanes and quiet streets, and we ride at a relaxed, conversational pace with plenty of stops for photos, stories, and the occasional gin tasting. If you can ride a bike, you can do our tours. We also have a range of bike sizes and styles, including step-through frames and electric bikes on request.

Our tours run rain or shine — this is London, after all. Light rain rarely stops us, and we provide waterproof ponchos if needed. If conditions are genuinely unsafe (heavy storms, flooding), we'll contact you in advance to reschedule or offer a full refund. Our small-group and private bike tours are also covered by a money-back guarantee.

Absolutely. Our small-group bike tours welcome riders aged 13 and over — old enough to handle a bike confidently in London and enjoy the stories, tastings, and pace of the ride. For families with younger children, we'd recommend our Private Family Bike Tour, where the whole experience is shaped around your kids. We adjust the route, pace, and stops to suit their ages, with regular breaks for snacks, stories, and loo stops. Because it's just your family and a dedicated guide, we can give you our full attention and keep things safe and relaxed. Child seats, tag-along bikes, and trailers are all available — and children under 5 ride free.

Most of our bike tours meet at our headquarters, a two-minute walk from Lambeth North Underground Station on the Bakerloo line. The exact address and directions are sent with your booking confirmation. For tailored itineraries, taxi tours, and day trips, we come to you — with hotel pick-up included as standard.

Everything you need: bike hire, helmet, a fully guided experience with a local expert, and any tastings or entry fees listed on the tour page. There are no hidden extras. Each tour page shows exactly what's included so you know what to expect before you book.
