Landmarks & Gems by Vintage Bike
Landmarks & Gems by Vintage Bike
- Cycling Tour
- 3.5 Hours
This is one of our partner-run experiences, so you’ll book directly with TallyHo Experiences.
About the tour:
There are LOTS of tours around London’s major landmarks, so how about we do it a bit differently? This award-winning London bike tour will pop you on your very own vintage-style bike and you’ll be guided by your very own “hipster historian”.
You’ll get an exciting introduction to London’s most iconic landmarks, Royal Palaces and discover many local gems along the way, all while travelling along on two wheels in a small group, following back streets and dedicated bike lanes.
Not only will you cycle to the major landmarks like the Houses of Parliament and Buckingham Palace, you’ll also stop at hidden gems along the way and hear the stories behind them. And don’t worry, you’ll take a pit stop where you can have a refreshing pint at a historic pub. Oh, and have you ever tried your hand at street art? You’ll get to do it on this tour.
Highlights:
- Discover Westminster beyond Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament
- Get up close to the Queen’s Guards during the famous Changing of the Guard ceremony
- Try your hand at street art in a tunnel christened by Banksy
- Stop by a charming, historic pub for a pit stop and a pint if you wish
