Katie was an incredible tour guide who made our Tally Ho tour adventure so enjoyable and informative! She shared so many interesting stories throughout the route, and even let us stay longer at Buckingham Palace to see Queen Camilla leave in a car. We’re so glad we made Tally Ho part of our few days in London and now we will be looking for bike tours in every city we go to!

This was a very fun way to see London . We got on our beautiful English bikes and donned our tweed caps and headed out on a beautiful day with Brian and Taylor as guides. We saw lots of notable landmarks, quaint neighborhoods and stopped at a charming pub. We got to spray paint some graffiti in the Leake Street Arches. . It was a fun afternoon.

I took the tour with my 17 year old granddaughter and her friend who were visiting from South Carolina in America. Katie was our guide and was absolutely brilliant! We all had such fun! Katie directed us safely through the traffic, selected picturesque backstreets, made sure we saw the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace and treated us to humorous stories and historical facts that fascinated us all. Would highly recommend for anyone! Such a wonderful experience with blue skies and sunshine.

Great great tour! We were able to see so much of London in just a half day. We spent the right amount of time at each location and never felt rushed. We happened to be at Buckingham Palace just as King Charles’ car was leaving so we got to see him go by. The route was almost completely flat so the cycling was easy. Our guide (Katie) was excellent. She was very knowledgeable and made sure we all had a great time. She’s a big part of why we enjoyed the tour so much. Oh, and we got to see an original Banksy!

Although the weather was quite poor with rain the tour was still very enjoyable. We managed to see all the sites Houses of parliament, Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square, Covent Garden etc. Edward our tour guide was very knowledgeable and fun. The cycling is very easy going with lots of stops including a pub. It was great value for money and I would highly recommend it.

This was the absolute best bike tour we’ve been on. Katie, our guide, made it so fun. She was the quintessential Londoner- from the content to the outfit. We lucked out and ended up with the most gorgeous day (and a private tour by scheduling fate!). I will be recommending this tour- and special recommendation to Katie. Thanks for the personality and hospitality!

We had arrived from Lima that very morning with a layover flight and London welcomed us with a classically wet day. Jetlagged and disappointed about the weather we decided to push on and head for our booked bike tour. Luckily, getting to the ralley point was easy. We were met by Edward - hands down the best tour ever. He's not only a savvy londoner, but he has a knack for narrating history filled with unique anecdotes and in his fun witty style. We biked through the rain (all adequate safety measures taken care of) and had an amazing time. It's was the best decision. It balanced both our bodies and souls
