Full description
This tour starts in Kensington Garden - you'll start the morning by cycling through this beautiful park to see where Queen Victoria grew up and where Princess Diana lived. Further down the road, you'll stop at London's most classic venue, The Royal Albert Hall, built to memorialize Prince Albert. Feel free to do your own "last night of the proms" or lay back and listen to one of your guide's anecdotes. Your group will then follow the "rotten row" in the magical Hyde park to the statue of one of England's biggest heroes of all time, the man who defeated Napoleon back in 1815: if you know his name and where the battle took place you're the hero of the day. It's all downhill from there, through the Green Park to visit the official residence of the Royal family, Buckingham Palace - maybe you'll get invited for a cup of tea? We hope to tell you some stories about the Palace that you won't find in a travel guide! Next stop on your route is Trafalgar square, one of the world's most famous places. Whatever happened to Lord Nelson in Trafalgar and where did all the pigeons that once lived here go? If you know this then please do share - that's what the tour is all about, sharing some stories  - it's more of a chat than a lecture with a lot of yeardropping. If you like the royal weddings and the coronations, the amazing Westminster Abbey might be the highlight for you on the tour, if you prefer some good old execution and torture you can pay some extra attention by ţhe Houses of Parliament. Then, take a selfie at Big Ben, London's number one landmark before your group goes back again through the Royal Parks to the meeting point again. But please don't rush off without challenging your guides with any questions you may have about other attractions, museums, markets and more ways to enjoy this fabulous city.

Ola is a wonderful guide! We biked to some of the most important sights in central London and he told fun stories about what we were seeing at each stop, all the while listening to music and sharing lighthearted humor. Our teens stayed interested throughout the tour; no easy task! Thanks Ola!

Tour was wonderful! Our guide Ola was fantastic and shared a lot of great information on the tour. We also got a bonus stop during the changing of the guards and his homemade blueberry muffins were delicious. The pace was perfect and easily rideable as well. Very enjoyable family outing! Would do another with Ola.

This was my favorite activity of my trip to London! We happened to coincide with “Ride London”, but Ola was really good at navigating us through the crowds and pausing to tell us about each stop. I was a bit worried since it’s been a while since I’ve ridden a bike, but going through the parks was very safe + Ola made sure to select a bike that was well matched to our height. A great way to see the city and would definitely recommend!
