Awesome tour at must do. You get to see a lot of the standard tourist sites like St Paul´s but you get off the beaten track and find canals and inlets you´d nver see otherwise. A full day´s riding but in reality not very hard and it is mostly flat. Guide was excellent. Try to go on Sunday as then Brick Lane will have it´s market on.

Enjoy the tour good way of getting around London, some of the lanes and alleys are a bit uneven so you need to be careful.

We were blessed with excellent weather and the party was only four in number.
Our guide was helpful and informative and was always happy to try and meet our requirements.
A great day out - and good value, too.
Recommended.

It was excellent and the highlight of my stay in London. We went at a leisurely pace along the canals and through parts of London I have never seen . The guide was very knowledgeable.

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.

We thoroughly enjoyed the tour, even though it rained all day, it did not dampen our spirits. In fact we are looking forward to doing the evening bike tour.

Excellent tour, well chosen route and knowledgable guide. He, Alec, would have been easier to follow when it got busy if he had something distincive on... A bright baseball hot?

This trip is very interesting and rewarding. The olympic site is exciting to see, but most of all this ride takes you through a wide variation of cenral and east London areas and markets. Highly recommended! Thanks!

Loved riding along the canal banks and especially the transformation occurring with the Olympic site. Strongly recommend the tour.

Really enjoyable trip. Morning trip to the Olympic park (Westfield shopping centre) was full of sights. Not quite matched by the return leg with some obscure routes but that was still enjoyable.

Tour guide excellent. Very good venues. Two points of dissatisfaction: 1) Too many people on the tour for such a busy part of London - recommend max of 10 people; 2) Viator should have checked cycle parking at Stratford during Olympics ! Had to find our own space for 15 cycles - very awkward and stressful.
