Great Intro to London
June 8, 2024…We joined Ola for a fun and interesting time exploring the iconic sites of London on bicycles. My two teenage granddaughters enjoyed his informed and humorous commentary as we peddled around Westminster and along the Thames. Great tour…I highly recommend!
Response from the operator: Hi Richard! It was an absolutely pleasure to meet you and your lovely family❤️ It was a tricky day because of Trooping the colour but we managed to manoeuvre and got a good place to see the parade. I hope to see you guys again on another tour and congratulations for passing the “test”😊 Kindest regards / Ola

Lovely bike tour
A great tour through and through. We saw exactly what we wanted to see, learned a lot and had some fun as well. 5 stars is hardly enough! Thanks a lot for the experience.
Response from the operator: Hello again Maria! Thanks a million for taking the time for this wonderful review ❤️ A five star rating means the world to me and I would like to give you the same rating😊 You guys were a true pleasure to have along! All the best and please come back soon🚴 Ola

Best bike tour EVER!
Our family love bike riding and have been on bike tours in many cities throughout the world and we all agree that Ola is the best bike tour guide we have ever met! Ola has the rare ability to provide historical context and information about the city sights while being humorous and entertaining. We had a private bike tour that felt like we were riding in London with a friend and not a guide. Great bikes, awesome morning tea (thanks Ola!) and a well thought out intinerary made for a fabulous tour on a cold London day. Definitely will book again!
Response from the operator: Hello again Rhonda🇦🇺❤️ Thanks ever so much for these lovely words and for being so lovely whilst we were out exploring this amazing City. To have you along was an absolute joyride and I can assure you I had just us fun as you guys. Can’t wait to see you again. All the best to the 5 of you!

Absolutely outstanding bike tour!
Michelle and I took this tour with Ola yesterday. In short it was fantastic and provided us with the perfect way to see so many of the really important sites of London in 5 hours. Ola is really lovely and it's clear that he cares about his customers having a wonderful experience. Ola's detailed knowledge of British history is truly impressive. The bikes are in good condition and the route taken is very safe, almost entirely in dedicated bike lanes. A superb experience that we would recommend to everyone. Thanks Ola!
Response from the operator: Hello again Peter & Michelle🇦🇺 Thanks for taking the time for this wonderful and much appreciated review❤️ We sure had a great day out and saw a lot, we even managed to squeeze in some extra stops along the way. Thanks also for being so nice and considerate, you were absolutely amazing! Enjoy the rest of your stay and a warm welcome back. Ola

A must do unforgettable experience
Today was one of of the coolest experiences ever—a private guided bike tour with Ola. What an unforgettable way to see London. The entire route was on cycle paths and lanes through parks and city side roads. Ola was extremely knowledgeable and charming. It was like spending time with a friend. From out first contact via registration and email to our finish, Ola was a delight. We highly recommend this as a must do experience when in London.
Response from the operator: Hello again Pam & Bill 🇺🇸 Thanks ever so much for this amazing review and for being so amazing people❤️ I can assure you I had just as good time as you guys. We sure saw a lot, had the perfect weather and some fun along the way. Please come back soon for another tour🚴 All the best / Ola

Why this scores 70
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
The "Big Six" of London, 4.5 hour tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.
How much does The "Big Six" of London, 4.5 hour tour cost?
+
Prices start at $81 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 The "Big Six" of London, 4.5 hour tour take?
+
Plan for about 4.5 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 The "Big Six" of London, 4.5 hour 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 18 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in London, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule The "Big Six" of London, 4.5 hour 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 The "Big Six" of London, 4.5 hour tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book The "Big Six" of London, 4.5 hour tour?
+
Around 6 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 4.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does The "Big Six" of London, 4.5 hour 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 Soho Music & Historic Pubs Tour, London Small Group Tour of Historical Pubs, The Great British Rock and Roll Walking Tour. 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.
