We enjoyed a very personal tour with Ola, who entertained us with Information and unknown details during a 3,5 h biking tour through London. Although this sounds long, the time went by without noticing - thank you so much Ola !

Informative and fun. Wonderful overview of London and we saw way more than we ever could have on foot. Ola’s sense of humor along with musical hits were great. He recommended the Windsor Castle pub for lunch and we enjoyed it.
We learned historical things but mainly had a very good time with lots of laughs! despite some rain.
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our 3.5 hour London Landmarks Small Group Bike Tour with Ola. Our guide Ola was fun, knowledgeable and professional. He helped us pick the right-sized bikes & helmets and kept us safe and entertained the whole time. We traveled at a comfortable pace and got a good amount of exercise, seeing many more sights than we would on foot. His tours are limited to 8 riders so it’s much more pleasant, easier and safer than a larger group. We appreciated his suggestion of visiting Buckingham Palace on our own after the bike tour; we had not known it was open to the public in the summer. He also recommended a good restaurant for lunch. We highly recommend this bike tour with Ola!
Ola was a wonderful guide. Very knowledgeable and kept the tour interesting. Highly recommend him.
What an incredible way to explore London! And we give full credit to our guide for this experience. From the start, he expertly fit us for both our bikes and helmets. He checked in on everyone's experience level, and paced us accordingly. We understood the rules of the road and though we did enter the streets at some points, the bulk of our consistent riding was taking the beautiful scenery through many of the parks London has to offer. Ola provided us with both historically significant facts and fun anecdotal stories to accompany them. We had an amazing locally known view of the changing of the guard, while not having to mill through all the pedestrian traffic that creates. We would not only recommend this trip specifically, but happily do it again on our next trip across the pond.
we had one of our best city tours with Olo in London last Thursday!! He was so informative, great sense of humor and very worldly!! There were only 2 of us and he made this "private tour" great!! Learned a ton about England and London, highly recommend!!
We always book bike tours on vacation and Ola did not disappoint. He also gave us great food recommendations. Thanks Ola!
This tour was incredible. A wonderful way to see the popular sights and get a bit of activity in. Ola was a fantastic guide, full of knowledge and created a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere. He is funny and provided a lot of interesting facts about each site and even took some great photos of us. He also provided fantastic recommendations for food and tours to do that shaped the rest of our trip. The bikes were easy to use and quite comfortable. The smaller group format made navigating the bike lanes easy and allowed for more opportunities for getting your questions answered. The starting/meeting area was easy to find and bathroom breaks were also easily integrated in the tour. Booking directly through Notting Hill Bike Tours was straightforward and quite easy. Would definitely do again, and would recommend to anyone looking for a bike tour of the London sites. -Becca & Matthew
I arranged this tour for me and 2 colleagues after a 3 day meeting in London. We really wanted to get some fresh air and see the city up close. I searched and found this tour. My colleagues were so impressed in fact they haven't stopped thanking me for making the arrangements. So, I would like to thank you, Ola, for helping me look like a hero because I booked you for our tour!
A unique experience! Ola is a great person who make this bike ride pure fun. He shared many details about the various spots, and always took care of the group's safety. We were 5 people only. Compared to the big brands, this is also unique as this small group makes it very intimate and personal. The only potential space to improve: at some spots, less speaking and using the won time to enhance the trip a bit to further destinations - although it was fun!
Full of knowledge! People traffic was interesting to navigate but worth the many sights we saw!
This was a fun experience. The meeting place was easy to find. I was happy with th equality of the bikes. Ola was a great guide. He included humor with some history. He kept a great pace and was easy to follow through the busy city streets. We saw the main attractions in London with some interesting stories about both the history and current affairs in London. Ola was very helpful with recommendations on where to eat and other things to do.
This bike tour with Ola was truly the highlight of our trip! We all had a fabulous time learning about different buildings, sites, squares, landmarks, etc as we rode through London. As crazy as the crowds and streets were at times, we never felt unsafe. Ola was an excellent leader and really seemed to get to know us and personalize the tour as we went. He even played music for my teen girls to keep the mood light and fun as we rode. Our group size of 7 was perfect. It was also a bonus treat to connect with a couple from France and a woman from Brazil on our tour.
The tour was fantastic. We travelled with our 15-year-old and 12 year-old children. They thoroughly enjoyed it. It was smooth and traffic was easy to navigate around. We saw so many amazing sights and our guide was incredible and very knowledgeable. We would highly recommend this for anyone visiting Rome!
Really fun bike tour. Ola was a great guide - easy going, sharing fun facts. This bike ride is suitable for all ages and is not tiring at all, with the many stops you make along the way. I was happy we booked this tour with the smaller group size and convenient starting point, near Hyde park. Ola also gave us some good dining recommendations.
I would definitely sign up for another tour with Ola. I was a little concerned because my friend and I are from the USA and are used to biking on the right side of the road and not the left. I had no problem at all. Ola managed to safely guide us not only through the parks but through traffic. Not only that but he made sure (on the very hot day of our tour) that we didn't get overheated and stayed hydrated. He was entertaining and tested us on the facts at the end of the ride which really helped us remember what we saw. He even helped us get a few pictures together. The bikes and the helmets were in great condition. Thank you, Ola!
We had a fun time cycling through the parks and streets of London with our guide Ola. He was knowledgeable and entertaining. Learned lots of fun facts. Took stops at the major landmarks to take breaks, take in the sights and take great pictures. Had a great time!
Notting Hill bike tours was amazing. Our guide Ola was on time, prepared, interesting, knowledgeable and fun. We felt comfortable and safe with Ola’s guidance. Whether this is your first time to London or you visited 100 time before doing a bike tours with Ola is a great new perspective and your guaranteed to learn something new and see the sights from a very different perspective. Notting Hill Bike tours and Ola are well worth the time and a great value. Great for groups and families.
A great way to see the touristy sights. A must for anyone new to London. Ola was a great guide. Knowledgeable and friendly.
Excellent way to start our trip!
We had an absolutely fantastic time on the London Landmarks 3.5 Hour Morning Bike Tour! It was such a fun and unique way to see the city, and we covered so much more ground than we ever could have on foot. Our tour guide, Ola Wallin, was absolutely amazing. He was extremely knowledgeable, entertaining, and made the entire experience enjoyable from start to finish. Most importantly, he created a very safe and comfortable environment for everyone riding through the busy streets of London, which we really appreciated. We loved riding past iconic landmarks like Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, beautiful parks, palaces, and historic sites while hearing fascinating stories and history along the way. Ola’s personality and passion for London truly made the tour special. This was easily one of the highlights of our trip, and we would highly recommend it to anyone visiting London!
We planned this tour quite some time before our trip and we're a bit disappointed about the weather forecast but hey, being Dutch means we can't let a bit of rain scare us away, right? Ola (and his choice of accompanying music) made us happy we went through with it. His style of leading our little gang through the chaos that was the inner city traffic that day, along with his more than entertaining banter and history lessons made for a highlight of our little vacation. We had four seasons in one day, and memories that will last a lifetime.
Ola and the Tour are fantastic! It was interesting (for our son as well) and very funny and we'll book the other Tour for our next London visit. Greetings from Vienna!
This is the bike tour you want. Ola is OUTSTANDING! Took us all over the London city center and then had us perfectly positioned for part of the changing of the guard far away from the crowds. He is a wealth of information about the history London and then some. He kept our attention and his sense of humor kept it interesting. His recommendations for pubs were amazing too! Thanks again for an exceptional tour Ola! You should charge more!
This bike tour was an excellent way to see a number of sights and learn some history and trivia. And it was so much fun! Ola is an outstanding guide, full of information, and good at keeping an eye on his "flock" as we moved throughout London. Do it! You'll be glad you did!
It was a great Trip with Ola! So much Knowledge and Funny Stories we heard. Perfect Tour to see all the great places of London! Bike and helmets in great condition and for a lazy person was it even physically easy to do. Recommend it to everybody to see London from a different perspective
It was a wonderful experience and I’d highly recommend. Ola was a terrific guide, he was very accommodating and knowledgeable about the history and the sights. He took a to areas and places I never knew existed, we loved it. Thank you.
Ola was great! The weather was not perfect but we had a great experience. It was an easy way to see all of the major London landmarks!
The BEST thing we did in London!! Our guide was so interesting and engaging. Going on a bike let us see so much up close, and riding a bike is always so much fun. I've had friends who've said they don't think they could bike for long, but they have all said it was not only a great way to see the city and learn about some of the history, but their favorite activity.
Ola did a great job communicating before and during the tour. We highly recommend this for the safe biking experience while exploring & learning about the key sites in London.
Great time on the bike tour with Ola!! Made the tour very fun and great info on each landmark we stopped at it….kids really enjoyed it….would definitely do this tour again or love to try his other tours…..really great way to see many of the the very cool sites in London! Thanks to Ola for a great experience for my family….
Had a great time on the bike tour with our guide, Ola! A nice way to see lots of highlights in a short period of time. Got some basic historical information during the tour. Ola had a great attitude. He also gave us an extensive list of recommendations after the tour!
We had a fantastic time on our London tour today and got to see so many landmarks in a relatively short period of time. Ola had many interesting facts to share with our multi-age group. Highly recommend!
If you’re looking for the ultimate way to see London, look no further! The Notting Hill Bike Tours is a total blast from start to finish. A massive shout-out to our incredible guide Ola. His knowledge of the area is mind-blowing, and his humor kept us laughing the entire way. Ola managed to make history feel like a time-traveling adventure. Even if you hate history, you’ll love this bike tour! Whether you're a local or a tourist, his stories and energy make the whole experience unforgettable. Highly recommended for anyone who wants great vibes, beautiful scenery, and a world-class guide!
My family and I just had a wonderful bike tour led by Ola. The meeting location was easy to find, with a coffee shop and restrooms nearby. The tour ended up being just my family of five, and we were able to see all the main sites of the city in three hours, including Kensington Palace, Buckingham Palace, the Changing of the Guard, Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey, and several more. Ola stopped at each attraction to share interesting historical snippets and welcomed all our questions. He even included a fun quiz to test our knowledge, which was great for my competitive family. My family enjoys taking bicycle tours in every city we visit, and this one was equally memorable. It was a fantastic way to see all the sights in a short amount of time, especially compared to being stuck on a bus in traffic.
Unfortually it was raining cats and dogs, most people cancelled, so it was only my doughter and me. All together it was a nice experience to bycycle in London. The Guide Ola was good, maybe a bit to long in our experience, but that can be due to our impatience due to the wheather.
In a word- fabulous! We did a tour with our teens aged 15 and 13. While we have been to London several times before, we all enjoyed seeing the sites from a different perspective. Ola was an awesome guide who really engaged the kids and made the experience unforgettable. We would totally recommend this tour.
We did this tour the morning of Christmas Eve. My boys were originally grumpy about getting up to go on the tour and at the end they were raving about it. It was their favorite part of the trip.
Ola was funny and very knowledgable. Nice and chill ride around the major sites of London with time for enjoying the sites and the beautiful day.
3 sisters and we had a ball. Touched on all the key areas . Well worth a try and pretty much flat ! It was was a cold day but we were wrapped up
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our morning bike tour with Ola. We covered a lot of ground and saw many sites in a fun and engaging manner. The bikes are in good condition and easy to pedal along the flat surfaces (no real hills or anything close). We rode with traffic for very short sections and it was incredibly easy and safe to just follow Ola. I would take this tour again and recommend it!
Knowledgeable guide. Bicycles in great condition. Fun energy and lots of engagement between the guide and the riders.
Very fun, engaging bike tour with knowledge, funny and engaging Ola. I was a little nervous when he said it was a 9 mile ride but it was very flat with lots of stops. Highly recommend.
We had a great time touring London with Ola. He is very knowledgeable, funny and engaging. It’s rain or shine so be prepared with appropriate gear (we were). Highly recommend for adults and/or families w older kids.
Enjoyed seeing London via bicycle. It was nice being able to avoid traffic.tour guide was easy going and knowledgeable. I recommend the tour by bicycle, fitness level was moderate.
Notting Hill Bike Tours provided us unique experience in London. I had not been to London before and wanted to get a landmark tour. The bike tour provided an easy and fun way to travel from site to site quickly. With numerous bike routes available, we were able to see multiple sites in 3.5 hours. Walking to all these sites would have taken a full day. Taking a bus tour would not have been as personable. Ola's unique experience also provided us an opportunity to see the Buckingham guards up close without the crowds. We were so thrilled with our experience with Ola at Notting Hill Bike Tours, we booked a 2nd trip to see some of the non-landmark parts of London. The various markets (Portobello, Camden-Locks and numerous others), Primrose Hill, Abby Road, Notting Hill architecture and history, the Canals and more. The London canals and the life around these canals surprised me- I did not realize the extent of canals and trails available. There is so much activity around these canals- hundreds/thousands of boats utilize these canals and the locks within the canals. There is community around the canals- living, shops, restaurants. Not surprised they call one of these ares Little Venice. If you're looking for a great tour guide- I highly recommend Ola and Notting Hill Bike Tours. I plan to look him up again when I return to London again.
If you have a sense of adventure and curiosity, can pedal a bike, follow directions, and have a few pounds to spend, BOOK THIS TOUR. Ola is a kind and friendly tour guide who takes very good care of his customers. He shares amusing anecdotes and makes sure every person on the tour has a safe and enjoyable time. Don't miss this bike tour of London highlights and landscapes. Look both ways, keep calm, and pedal on! This tour is a fabulous value for the money.
Ola entertained us and kept us safe in busy London traffic. Plenty of stops for photos and historical anecdotes that made the ride fun for all!
We love a cycle tour when visiting a new city and Ola did not dissappoint. Humorous and knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend.
