Our Promise

The London Bike Tours Difference

We're not a franchise. We're two locals who live and work in the Barbican, and we've designed every route ourselves.

Max 10 Guests
Your guide knows your name and can answer every question. We will never take more than 10 riders on an open tour - a decision we've made deliberately and won't reverse.
Genuinely Local Routes
We live in the Barbican. The City of London is our daily commute - we know every alley, every hidden garden, and every shortcut the coach tours can't reach.
Premium Bikes
Quality hybrid bikes maintained daily before every departure.
Everything Included
Bike, helmet, hi-vis vest, and printed route map - all included. No hidden fees, ever. The price you see is the price you pay.
Flexible Cancellation
Cancel more than 48 hours before your tour for a full refund. Secure payment by Stripe. Apple Pay and Google Pay accepted.
All Abilities Welcome
Flat, traffic-calmed routes with quality bikes maintained daily. Ages 12 and up. Planning a group event or corporate day? Ask about private tours →
