Great way to see London for the first time
This was a great way to get a feel of London and where the top history and tourist attractions are. Noel did a good job of informing us and navigating us through a busy London.

Great tour with Emily!
Great tour with Emily! She was super funny and knew a lot about London. It's a great way to see London's top attractions, I highly recommend.

Worth Every Penny
Hands down the best way to see London. Daniel made the entire ride an absolute blast. He set a comfortable pace, navigated traffic seamlessly, and brought the city’s history to life with brilliant anecdotes rather than just reciting dates. Even if you've been to London before, Daniel will show you parts of the city you've never noticed. Huge thanks to Daniel for an incredible afternoon—worth every penny!

Great way to see the main sites of London.
It was the first rain in London for many weeks, but fortunately as our ride started the rain stopped! Arne was our guide and although he was Dutch he was very informative and knowledgeable on all things British and London in particular. Our ride was very safe and we were perfectly timed to hear Big Ben chime. Covered a lot on 3 hours. A great introduction to London.

Highly recommend!
I highly recommend a bike tour at the beginning of your trip to get a lay of the land. I also think a bike tour is the best bang for your buck! You get to see all the main sights and receive bits of history and facts about the city in a very digestible way. It’s a leisurely pace through beautiful parts of town that you may not find on your own. Our tour guide, Dan, was incredibly knowledgeable about the city and the history of the UK, and highly entertaining and friendly. I would highly recommend a tour with him, if you can get in his group! We did the tour with our three boys, 14, 10, and 9, and they absolutely loved it, as did my husband and I. We are still talking about some of the things Dan taught us- notably, facts about Admiral Nelson, who the boys were able to learn more about at other museums we visited and they pointed out things Dan had taught us about Nelson. A+ experience, highly recommend!

Highlights of Royal London Bike Tour including Hyde Park: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.
How much does Highlights of Royal London Bike Tour including Hyde Park cost?
+
Prices start at $57 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 Highlights of Royal London Bike Tour including Hyde Park take?
+
Plan for about 3.5 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 Highlights of Royal London Bike Tour including Hyde Park worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 86 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 573 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in London, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Highlights of Royal London Bike Tour including Hyde Park?
+
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 Highlights of Royal London Bike Tour including Hyde Park suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Highlights of Royal London Bike Tour including Hyde Park?
+
Around 201 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 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Highlights of Royal London Bike Tour including Hyde Park 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 Highlights of Royal London Bike Tour including Hyde Park?
+
Included: Tour guide; Bike; and Use of helmet. Not included: Food and drinks; Hotel pickup and drop off; Gratuities; and Rain poncho (additional cost). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

+
If exiting Waterloo station, you can look for exit 2, then make a left out of the exit followed by your first left onto Mepham Street. You will then see our office across the street. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
