Emily was an amazing guide! The bikes were in great condition and we learned a lot! The meeting location was a little tricky to find so a little more description or signage would have helped.

Great welcome at reception which set the tone for the whole experience- our leader Dan from Shropshire was fantastic -engaging, great raconteur, amusing and showed an interest in talking to all the riders. I worked in London 1977-1985 but this trip showed me sights of London that I had never seen before. I chose this particular tour because it concentrated on the Royal Parks of London while still being able to see the iconic sights every tourist expects to see - and avoided most of the very busy traffic on London’s congested roads. I am a fairly regular visitor to London, will certainly do another tour on my next trip, and would highly recommend this particular tour company- to me the staff really enjoy sharing the London experience with visitors from all over the world 👍🤩.

This was a great way to get a feel of London and where the top history and tourist attractions are. Noel did a good job of informing us and navigating us through a busy London.
Great tour with Emily! She was super funny and knew a lot about London. It's a great way to see London's top attractions, I highly recommend.
Hands down the best way to see London. Daniel made the entire ride an absolute blast. He set a comfortable pace, navigated traffic seamlessly, and brought the city’s history to life with brilliant anecdotes rather than just reciting dates. Even if you've been to London before, Daniel will show you parts of the city you've never noticed. Huge thanks to Daniel for an incredible afternoon—worth every penny!
It was the first rain in London for many weeks, but fortunately as our ride started the rain stopped! Arne was our guide and although he was Dutch he was very informative and knowledgeable on all things British and London in particular. Our ride was very safe and we were perfectly timed to hear Big Ben chime. Covered a lot on 3 hours. A great introduction to London.
I highly recommend a bike tour at the beginning of your trip to get a lay of the land. I also think a bike tour is the best bang for your buck! You get to see all the main sights and receive bits of history and facts about the city in a very digestible way. It’s a leisurely pace through beautiful parts of town that you may not find on your own. Our tour guide, Dan, was incredibly knowledgeable about the city and the history of the UK, and highly entertaining and friendly. I would highly recommend a tour with him, if you can get in his group! We did the tour with our three boys, 14, 10, and 9, and they absolutely loved it, as did my husband and I. We are still talking about some of the things Dan taught us- notably, facts about Admiral Nelson, who the boys were able to learn more about at other museums we visited and they pointed out things Dan had taught us about Nelson. A+ experience, highly recommend!
A three-hour bike tour with an excellent, highly motivated guide. It was great fun, and we experienced and learned so much. Harry, our guide, gave us insights into both the historical and humorous aspects of London. He comes highly recommended!
This was the highlight of our trip to London. You don’t have to be fit to partake as there are lots of stops along the route. Our guide Joe was very knowledgeable and a true Londoner who had lots of fascinating insights about each landmark we visited. He kept my 11 year old intrigued with his amazing storytelling ability. All round this was the highlight of our trip, would highly recommend Joe and the royal London bike tour!
Good tour! Harry was a great tour guide and I enjoyed his stories. The bike was a great way to cover more ground in less time, enabling us to see a lot more than a walking tour.
Really great bike tour. We got to see over eight stops and biked over 8 miles. It was very relaxing and not hard at all. They have e bikes
Dan was the best guide! We appreciated the history and humor. We covered a lot of territory and he took care to make sure our group stayed together. We would book with Unlimited again.
We really enjoyed the Royal London Bike Tour including Hyde Park. Noel was an excellent guide. He was very informative with a great sense of humour and made everyone feel welcome from start to finish. We saw so many famous sights and learned lots along the way. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting London. The tour was very relaxing and Noel our guide was completely chilled out.
The bikes are nice and easy to use. You can do this with kids. You see some beautiful sites and Harry is a great tour guide!
This was a great tour! Jamie was knowledgeable and kept us safe and together on the London roads. Most of the biking was on bike paths and we covered many of the major sites. Jamie was easy to follow and understand, and had great anecdotes along the way for all of the sites we visited. He made the places come alive. Would highly recommend!
The tour was so much fun! Bike seats are uncomfortable and I may have asked for the e-bike after finishing the tour but I feel so proud of myself for biking that whole way. It really was the BEST way to get a snapshot of London. Our tour guide, Arna from the Netherlands, was super knowledgeable as well and had the COOLEST stories you don’t get usually on tours!
Hugo was fantastic! We had the afternoon tour on a Saturday so there were parts that were a little chaotic, but Hugo did a great job keeping us together and keeping everyone in the party engaged. We had the adults plus an 8, 10, 13, 14 and 18 year old in our party and everyone had a great time!
Awesome bike tour in London. Fun and knowledgeable tour with Charlie. Got see some a lot on bike that you might otherwise not see. Definitely recommend.
Great tour with Stephanie! She was so knowledgeable about each of our stops, engaging fact and story teller and a great leader even though we were a larger group. This tour provides a wonderful overview of key London sites. The route is flat and easy on either a traditional or ebike. Have taken bike tours in a number of cities. Overall this was the best.
Upon check in, we chose a bike that can ride comfortably. My 5 year old didn't feel comfortable riding on the tantem bike for the whole during of the tour. They have to upgrade us to a tent attached to the bike (i don't know what it called). Cashier didn't seem to kin to give us the upgrade but eventually he did free of charge. Our tour guide Noelle was awesome. He's friendly and informative. He gave clear instructions and expectation. We really enjoyed the tour. Definitely recommend it.
Our family had a great experience, the guide was very insightful and told some wonderful stories at all locations.
Harry was excellent! Very knowledgeable and timed our tour perfectly so we could catch a bit of the changing of the guard. We learned a lot. Three hours was perfect!
We had an awesome tour with Hugo, he was extremely knowledgeable and funny throughout! He knew the answer to all our questions and took time to tell interesting stories about all the landmarks. The biking was very easy and doable for all. As a bonus we even saw the king drive by!
DO NOT buy Go City passes and expect them to work properly for major London attractions like Unlimited Biking. Total scam. The reservation codes would not work for bike attractions, and even after calling customer service, they still could not resolve the issue. I spoke with Elle in customer service, and they were unable to book anything for us either. We wasted a significant amount of time trying to make reservations during our trip planning. Very frustrating experience and a total waste of money.
Fantastic biking through the city with Daniel (Italian American London resident Daniel!). SO much great information, kept us moving and safe….would highly recommend
I had such a wonderful experience on this bike tour with Emily! Since it ended up being just me, she thoughtfully customized the tour to match exactly what I wanted to see and do, which made it feel incredibly personal and special. She navigated through busy areas with ease, making me feel completely safe and comfortable the entire time. Along the way, she stopped at great spots to explain the sights and give me time to really take everything in. It was a fantastic experience from start to finish, and I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone!
This bike tour was the PERFECT way to cover the fabulous area to see parks, clock towers, abbeys and palaces in just 3 hours!!! The city was gorgeous! Our tour guide, Hugo was personal and professional! He shared interesting history and tales of the past with humor and grit to bring the history of London to life! Safety was very important and our guide was so careful, professional, so engaging and courteous. 5 STAR-rating!
Charlie, our tour guide, was the best! Extremely informative with the laid back approach. One of my favorite bike tour experience.
Emily was an awesome guide ! Very knowledgeable, patient and friendly. Highly recommend. Thank you so much !
Lincoln was an outstanding bicycling tour guide. He was safe and knowledgeable. We highly recommend him and this tour.
Jamie was an excellent tour host. He was a born Londoner and had a wealth of knowledge! It was a good pace and the locations were interesting and a good coverage of the highlights of London
We had a LOVELY tour with Jamie. January is not too cold for a beautiful ride! My kids were able to retell many of the stories we heard afterwards (tap the barrel:) Jamie did a great job engaging them. I thought they were zoning out until we met up with other members of our group and they told details of every story. We brought some snacks, which I recommend if you're bringing kiddos. Biking was easy, and I kept thinking how many times I'd be stopping to look at maps if I tried it on my own. Highlights were cycling past Big Ben just as it chimed, riding behind the horse guards (perfectly timed), and those historical nuggets that are so engaging they help you remember the other bits as well. A great way for a family to cover a lot of ground. Highly recommend!
Can highly recommend Fat Tire Company, very friendly, and the tour guide Lincoln was informative and fun. It was the highlight of our London trip. Our kids loved him and a subsequent souvenir teddy was named after him. Great routes through London, our 7 year old coped with it easily. Central London is more bike friendly than our home town.
Abby was a great host for our bike ride. The small group of 7 was the perfect size. Thank you for a fun trip around London.
We were really disappointed in the tour. The guide Andrew spoke very inaudible, even for native speakers it was very difficult to follow him. It was not possible to learn something about London in this way. In addition we walked a lot with the bikes instead of actually biking. We asked to stop the tour earlier because we really had a very bad experience. We truly don't understand how you can give a guided tour with this way of speaking.
We had a great Bike tour with Daniel who had a great sense of humor and was very informative. He dealt with a challenging situation as we returned to homebase and had to make our way through an enormous protest march. He did a fabulous job. Enjoyed the scenary, enjoyed the commentary, good bikes, great day. The only difficulty was finding the office/home base - that was a challange! Thankfully the nice folks at KFC which was nearby helped direct us to our starting point.
Our guide was so great!!! Informative and entertaining and did an amazing job making sure everyone was happy.
Charlie O was our informative and highly entertaining guide. He shared a lot of British history in a very memorable way. We’ve been on a lot of bike tours and this one was the best. You’ll be lucky if you get Charlie as your guide.
Abby was a fantastic tour guide. Full of energy that one. I just can’t say enough about her knowledge and friendliness
Noelle was our excellent guide - informative and friendly and full of interesting inside knowledge. The tour pulled in many landmarks and all of us aged 14 to 54 enjoyed it. The route felt safe along cycle paths and through beautiful parks. We learnt alot and saw alot would recommend!
Excellent introduction for first timers to get the lay of the land. Our guide Daniel was knowledgeable of the history of the locations we toured.
Went with my 11yo daughter, was concerned prior that biking through the city might feel unsafe with her, but I am so happy we did this. They had helmets for anyone who wanted them, which i was also concerned about prior to the tour. Our tour guide, Abbey, was great! I would strongly suggest this tour, you don't have to be a super strong cyclist. From my 11yo: I loved the places we visited and how the tour guide was able to speak perfectly for me to understand.
Charlie was a fantastic host and guide and I thoroughly enjoyed the ride. I would do this again in a heartbeat - we saw so much, learnt so much, and had such a beautiful time. Great stops, great stories and just a wonderful experience that I will never forget.
The 3 hour Royal London tour was the perfect way to experience the city with our kids. The bikes were comfortable, the ride was fun and easy, we saw beautiful parks and important buildings, and heard great stories throughout. Charlie was fantastic and especially patient with our kids who asked 800 questions! Totally doable for our 8 and 10 year olds. Nice to have 1 kids bike and 1 tandem attached in case someone gets tired.
Noel was a terrific guide. He was also very concerned with safety including keeping close track of a young girl.
This ride provided a lovely overview of the history and sites of London. Hugo, our guide knew his stuff and was genuinely eager to share and answer questions. Highly recommend!
Very crowded London streets but the guide did a great job of navigating. Hyde park was nice and during the break I grabbed an Ice cream which was nice because I did this during the heat wave
This offer was priced great. However the instructions were lacking. The instructions stated that you had to go to a website to choose a time for the EYE! The website did not exist using my browser. After communicating back-and-forth through a text with Viator, it was suggested I use Google. It finally went through and then the website would not allow me to choose a time. I spent almost an hour on my phone, trying to figure out how to use this! Then when I got there, I just showed them the QR code and they said fine. All of that work for nothing! The ride was great and we were seated immediately even though there was a line on the other side. However, I sure wish I would have not read the directions as stated. They need to be clear that all you need. Is the QR code. Do not go to the website
Our family, 2 parents and 2 high school aged sons, had a great time biking around London. Our guide, Charlie, was not only knowledgeable but funny and personable, and kept us all engaged. A great way to see the Royal sites. Highly recommend.
We had a great time with Hugo as our guide. He was friendly and knowledgeable and shared lots of fun history and facts along the way. It was a hot day and he was mindful to find shady spots when we stopped. The team at Fat Tire made sure safety was top priority. Biking around parts of London with a guide was a great way to get our bearings in the city on our first day and also get some exercise. We were placed in a group of 13, which felt a bit too large. We had a brief stop in Hyde Park to replenish our water which was appreciated on a very hot day! This was a highlight of our London visit.
