You'll see London's main attractions, like Big Ben, St Paul's Cathedral, The London Eye and Covent Garden, and experience the famous Guard Ceremony at Buckingham Palace. On your bike tour through London your guide will tell you about centuries of history, a story around every corner, tales of the good, the bad and the ugly.
London is a city of stunning contrasts. Her rich past is well preserved, while her modern face shows how architecture, trade and culture have evolved in their own unique settings. For those trying to discover London on their own, or hoping to glimpse her from bus or coach, many of her secrets will remain a mystery.
