Have to say it was the best way to see London. Went on tour a few days before the Games started so couldn't get intonthe Olympic site but really didn't matter the trip out along the canels was brillant. Also as a communtiy wlefare worker enjoyed riding back throught he housing estates of East London would not have seen this side of london if I had not done this tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable, hospitable and good fun. He also paced the ride to suit all competencies. It is an easy to moderate ride. Mostly flat. You would want some road experience - but not heaps so don't let this stop you. Highlight recommend this tour. Marg from OZ.
