“Jack is a fun and knowledgeable tour guide who engages the group with local insights and occasional history trivia questions. Bikes were Pashleys, a respected British brand that are an easy ride. No gears. It is flat terrain. We came away with lots of British history and, moreover, an understanding of London from day one. Enjoyed the stop at the Grafitti Tunnel and the chance to do some spray painting. The pub visit changed my standards on ales for good. We highly recommend this tour!”

“It was ok. Not much engagement from the hosts, and one of the places we went to felt somewhat like a prison. They had about 9 different security guards, some of which looked like ex convicts, roaming both the outside and the inside of the club. They also didn't allow hats. Which is fine, but the hosts don't inform on their post. So, it came as a surprise.”
