Excellent Tour
Had the best day exploring London. We had 2 pedicabs and Sil was an amazing tour guide. We ultimately extended the tour because we loved it so much. Hands down the best tour you could do to see the sights in London.

The Best Tour, Period. 🌈
My best friend and I are in London for two days only, and wanted to make the most of our short trip. Booking a private tour with our tour guide, Matty, was the best decision, hands down. Matty picked us up outside of our hotel, and guided us through 2 hours of private storytelling and gorgeous, secret London views, all while we were hooked up to his Bluetooth speaker, blasting our favorite music while riding through the open-air streets of London. Matty took us to some iconic lookouts, capturing amazing photos along the way, but our favorite part was the spooky old town architecture and the small back roads that are not occupied by tourists. Matty had so much knowledge about the city and so many delightful personal stories. We stopped for ice cream and took so many pictures! He dropped us back off right at our hotel. Booking this tour was a dream experience and highly recommended if you’re in London, have accessibility issues, or just want to have an extra exciting time in this iconic city. If you come, book your tour with Matty! He is amazing and so kind. Bring him some Mulligatawny Soup!! ❤️❤️❤️

Great Way to See the City
This is a wonderful way to see the city. SIL is fantastic and very accommodating for my senior mom with mobility issues.

Excellent adventure
This is an outstanding way to orient yourself with the city. While sadly there are some tuktuk tours that have bad reputations, this was an excellent value for our money.

Heart of London Private Guided Rickshaw/Pedicab/Taxi Bike Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.
How much does Heart of London Private Guided Rickshaw/Pedicab/Taxi Bike Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $136 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in London usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Heart of London Private Guided Rickshaw/Pedicab/Taxi Bike Tour take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in London is not rushed.
Is Heart of London Private Guided Rickshaw/Pedicab/Taxi Bike Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 39 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in London, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Heart of London Private Guided Rickshaw/Pedicab/Taxi Bike Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Heart of London Private Guided Rickshaw/Pedicab/Taxi Bike Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Heart of London Private Guided Rickshaw/Pedicab/Taxi Bike Tour?
+
Around 14 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in London can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in London and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Heart of London Private Guided Rickshaw/Pedicab/Taxi Bike Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central London within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in London?
+
London's best attractions split cleanly: the museums are free and need no booking, so the paid market is about views, theatre and getting out of the city for a day. That makes value scoring unusually important here, and the Outty Ranking penalises anything charging premium prices for access you could get for nothing. On Outty we rank every London experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Great British Rock and Roll Walking Tour, Soho Music & Historic Pubs Tour, London Small Group Tour of Historical Pubs. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit London?
+
May to September for long evenings, December for the Christmas markets. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in London?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Heart of London Private Guided Rickshaw/Pedicab/Taxi Bike Tour?
+
Included: Private transportation; On-board WiFi; and Bottled water. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Heart of London Private Guided Rickshaw/Pedicab/Taxi Bike Tour include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 79 listed pickup locations in and around London. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Heart of London Private Guided Rickshaw/Pedicab/Taxi Bike Tour offered in?
+
It is offered in English, Romanian, Hungarian and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Heart of London Private Guided Rickshaw/Pedicab/Taxi Bike Tour?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Heart of London Private Guided Rickshaw/Pedicab/Taxi Bike Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Heart of London Private Guided Rickshaw/Pedicab/Taxi Bike Tour if the weather is bad?
