Small Group River Thames Bike Tour

---

Explore the liquid history and breath-taking urban landscapes by cycling both banks of London's famous river. With smaller groups, a different route and a focus on the people's history, this tour is the perfect complement to our Royal London Bike Tour. Our tour guides offer legend and facts about a city that has united against great plagues, fire and war while developing into the cradle of modern civilization and commerce. Along the way, we’ll cover theatre, architecture, government, invasion, myths, truths and everything in between. Find out how one of our most iconic landmarks ended up in Arizona, how a Native American Chief came to be buried by the banks of the Thames and why a Celtic Queen took on the Roman Empire, all from the comfort of one of our signature fleet of easy to use California Cruiser bikes. Your guide will be on hand to answer those burning questions and point out all that fascinating stuff you could easily miss if you weren't looking out for it. Where else on earth can a few minutes cycling bridge world-class galleries and replica pirate ships, taking in Shakespeare, Henry VIII and the turbulence of World War II in between?

For lunch, we invite you to wander through the aromas of London's oldest and largest food market (cost not included). Award-winning food and drink from around the world are at your fingertips in the bustle of Borough Market, where a lunch break can feel like a tour in itself. After a bite, we’ll get to cycle across the breathtaking Tower Bridge, a uniquely London experience.

This tour does include a larger proportion of road cycling than some of our other tours and is recommended for those who have some cycling experience under their belts. Although we are unable to take small children on the route, anyone over the age of 12 who has comfortably completed our Royal London tour should have no problems at all. If you’re nervous about your child’s riding ability, our Private River Thames tour is a good option that will ensure a personalized guide just for your group. This also means that your guide can give you and your family/friends their full attention throughout the ride. As always, our expert local guides will make sure you get the best pictures, hear the most interesting stories, and stay safe and entertained over this 4-hour tour that will turn into memories that will last a lifetime.
