A small-group London e-bike ride that zips past Westminster, St Paul’s, Shakespeare’s Globe, the Clink, and Borough Market in 2h15.
“The guide was good and knowledgeable but the tour felt rushed. We had a large group for the morning traffic which caused delays. The tour got off late due to an issue with getting the bikes out of the garage area. Definitely need more time at Buckingham palace (we had about 5 minutes after the tour guide finished for pictures and should have at least 15) and at the Borough Market (we were given 15 minutes to explore and should have had at least 30 to try and explore more- we didn’t even get to both sides of the market in 15). I’d rather pay a bit more and have…”

A 2-hour small-group walk through Borough Market with multiple donut stops, plus tea and a Tower Bridge view to finish strong.
“I loved this tour! I had the best tour guide in Bhavani! I went on the 9am Saturday morning tour. I know other reviews complained about some places not being open that early. But that was not my experience. There was one (Bread Ahead) that was not quite open when we got there so Bhavani just improvised and showed other parts of the Borough Market and the looped back around. All the donuts were incredible, but the raspberry jam at St John was especially yummy. And the dark chocolate sourdough at Crosstown was indescribable. All the donuts were fresh and creative. This is a great way to spend a morning.…”
