Great Way to See London - Wow, our tour guide Abby was absolutely amazing! Her energy was infectious, and she shared so much information without overwhelming us. The bike ride was relaxing, although we had to walk the bikes in some busy areas. Abby made sure we stopped at all the major attractions and even gave us time to take photos and ask questions. The length of the tour was perfect, allowing us to see everything and still have time for a quick lunch. This was my second time on this tour, and Abby was definitely my favorite guide!

Fabulous bike tour of London! - Fat Tire offers the BEST tours! Tour guide Noel led our family of 4 on a tour of London’s sights. Noel was kind, shared interesting history, and made for a great experience for the 3 adults and 6 year old in our group. We’ve booked with Fat Tire in a number of different cities, and they are consistently fabulous!

London by Night Bike - Great tour, very happy with the attentive and well researched guide we were supplied. A thoroughly relaxed ride and would highly recommend to anyone doubting ( I’m 61 with a recent knee replacement and found it very easy )

Excellent Bicycle Tour along the Thames! - This was my 12th bicycle tour in a different country, as I believe the best way to see a new place is atop a bicycle.
Fat Tire delivered for London (England) with an excellent tour along the Thames River, with Andrew, our guide, full of knowledge, and leading at a leisurely pace.
Sights at seemingly every turn, as well as a break for lunch (I went with the local delicacy: Tacos) the tour was never too easy, too fast, or too much. Rather, it was perfect!

Not as expected - The scenery was nice, the guide could have been better. I've done other tours similar to this one in another cities that were much better.

Opposite Experience than Munich Bike Tour - We had a Fat Tire tour in Munich that was spectacular! This was on the other end of that which is weird because it's the same company. We met at the tube station and then had to walk about 10 minutes to get to the bikes. These bikes have seen better days. The bikes were uncomfortable. A one size fits all type of bike. The bikes weren't adjusted for each person which would have made it a little more comfortable. Trying to ride these bikes with all the people, vehicles, other cyclists, and road conditions made this a rough ride. Our guide was good with history but when asking questions not about history he seemed uninterested. I am surprised to see two totally different Fat Tire tours.
