We loved our tour! We saw parts of London we would never have seen on our own. I don’t bike around much at home so I was concerned I’d struggle but I did fine and we all had huge smiles on our faces the whole time! I liked the experience of biking around like so many do here and I wouldn’t have tried to bike on my own for the first time, but now I feel more comfortable renting bikes and heading out on my own! Paul was very engaging, friendly, patient, and informative.

Waterloo train station is located above the underground station, so if you arrive by underground, then go up the escalators into the main train station after you have gone through the ticket barriers, and then follow the clearly marked train platform numbers along until you reach numbers 1 & 2, where you will meet your tour guide.

Paul was a great guide. His knowledge of London was very impressive as were his Shakespearean performances. Paul also serenaded us with a wonderful song. We would definitely recommend Paul to anyone we know travelling to London.
