BrakeAway Bike Tours, London

Visted London with my family on Aug 2022. We booked the grand London bike tour where we rode along the main highlights of London attractions. Adam was our tour guide and he did an amazing job with explaining the history and present of what London has to offer. It was such a great fun for the entire family that we decided to book another trip to tour the secret side of London with Paul. This time it was an evening ride where Paul provided an excellent and enjoyable information about the London’s gems. Chris (the owner) was kind enough to let us use his helmets for biking the ‘Boris bikes’ for the rest of our London trip… thanks Chris. Highly recommend – great guys , great businesses, big fun.

We have been to London quite a few times but we had never cycled there. Chose the secret bike tour to see more of unknown parts of London. With Paul as our guide we made a fun and educational bike ride of more than four hours. A very nice trip where we saw many unknown gems. Cycling in London was easy. Almost everything is flat and the tour is largely on cycle paths. Moreover, it is a very reasonable price compared to other providers. Highly recommended!

We traveled to London over the US Thanksgiving holiday. A coworker recommended doing a bike tour on day 1 to get a quick overview of the city and lay of the land. 100% recommend this tour. Not only did we get to have a fun afternoon biking around the city and seeing the historic landmarks, we also had the most amazing tour guide, Adam. He was personable, funny and also let us help decide what we wanted to do during our time (for example he let us stop at an old historic pub which was a highlight). It was honesty the perfect way to spend our first day in the city. Adam also went above and beyond and recommend a few restaurants and breweries/pubs for us to try. We ended up going to several of the breweries/pubs a different day and again - he did not disappoint 10/10 recommend doing this tour to not only get to see London in the best way, but also to have a fantastic tour guide.

Our bike tour was one of the best things we did in London. A perfect Day 1 activity for any trip. We saw SO many sites, and our tour guide, Paul, was fantastic!! We had 2 kids riding, and one in a child’s seat, as well as 2 grandparents all in our group, and we were able to do the tour easily! A couple moments of cringe riding next to traffic, but mostly it’s off busy roads down secret alleys and bike paths. Just book it!! You’ll be so glad you did.

Highlight of our trip This bike tour is an absolutely brilliant way to see some of the well known, and lesser known parts of London. Paul our guide was passionate about telling us all sorts of fascinating details, including some old sayings we have in English and their origins. He even gave us a sample of his Opera singing in a back street near Covent garden! I think bystanders were jealous! The bikes were very comfy, the route was in no way strenuous, but always interesting, safe and enjoyable. It was an excellent, and relaxing way to see so much in around 2-3 hours. Many thanks to Chris & Paul for a superb experience - not to be missed.
