Voices of Adventurers

Jack Harris the Tally Ho Experiences founder with a penny farthing bicycle

Who’s doing all this?

Tally Ho sprung from the ingenious mind of a chap named Jack, a visionary who decided that the ordinary is vastly overrated and the extraordinary should be as commonplace as tea in London. Like a fine brew, Tally Ho has fermented into the quintessential confluence of British charm and adventure.

Explore iconic London's top sightseeing destinations

The Original London Bike Tour is a family-friendly journey through London’s East End, with the added benefit of bike rental. Since 1991, visitors have ventured out from Lambeth and along the banks of the River Thames, passing the world renowned Tate Modern Art Gallery as they head toward Shakespeare’s own New Globe Theatre. The contrast between its Elizabethan architecture and the Victorian Bankside Power Station is striking, but this is not the only unexpected sight to be seen along the tour - you'll also witness Borough Market, Tower Bridge, the Tower of London, Dockyards, Blackfriars Bridge, and St. Paul's Cathedral.

Shakespeare's Globe Theatre is a reconstruction of the famous Elizabethan playhouse designed by England's eminent playwright - the Globe was the ultimate arena for performances of Shakespeare's masterpieces. Admire its of-the-time beamed exterior and feel inspired by the artistic atmosphere. Biking on to Borough Market, your efforts will be rewarded with some of the city's best street food and local produce in one of London's oldest and largest food markets. It couldn't be much more at odds with the monumental skyscrapers that tower over the Thames from the north, but London is a city of dramatic contrasts.

As you ride across Tower Bridge, you’ll be able to see some of Foster’s most brilliant architecture from the past century. Your guide will lead you on to a view of the infamous Tower of London, where many a sorry prisoner saw out a dark and gloomy sentence. More food follows, with a stop at the Captain Kidd, a waterfront pub nestled amongst the Dockyard's maze of warehouses, atmospheric alleyways and cobbled streets.

Your bicycle tour begins to journey back westward at this point, riding through the more contemporary business districts including the Square Mile, and the archaic bedrock institutions of Lloyd's, the Royal Exchange, and Mansion House. Before returning to Lambeth across the commanding Blackfriars Bridge, you'll pass under the majestic St. Paul's Cathedral, one of London's proudest landmarks, where, each year, millions flock to discover the majesty within the exquisite white exterior.

Top-rated guided bike tours of London

Hey there, and welcome to my Red Bike Tours.  Friendly, personal guided bike tours of London, which reveal a living, breathing city, not just the tourist highlights.

My name is Owain and all my tours are personally led by me. Whether you're visiting for the first time or a local keen to explore what's on your doorstep, you’ll get the insider track on all sorts of London life.  I mix quirky stories and surprising facts with useful local knowledge to create the kind of personal curated experience you won’t find anywhere else.

Choose me as your personal tour guide to London and I’ll do everything I can to ensure you have a great time.

Why a bike tour is the best way to discover London

There’s something about the freedom of being on a bike - the wind in your hair, diving off into tiny back streets and getting to experience the place like a true Londoner.   Faster than walking, a bike allows you a leisurely pace but you can still cover a lot of ground.

My British-made red bikes are comfortable and really easy to ride.  My tour follows safe routes through quiet back streets and parks, avoiding busy areas wherever possible.  So even if you haven't been on a bike in a while, you'll be fine.

Let me introduce London to you in a way which makes you feel like you are flying around the city, really taking in its energy and vibe.  I promise, you, you'll end up loving it as much as I do.

Expérience géniale pour découvrir Londres

Expérience géniale pour découvrir Londres, accompagnés d'un guide (Georges) qui nous a donné énormément d'informations sur l'histoire, la vie à Londres... il a assuré aussi notre sécurité à vélo. Il a également adapté la promenade à vélo en fonction de ce que nous voulions voir. Nous étions une famille composée de 2 adultes et 2 jeunes de 11 et 16 ans, tout le monde a vraiment apprécié! Merci à Georges et pour son attention à chacun de nous car pendant la visite, il s'est vraiment adressé à tout le monde. Je recommande vivement, nous sommes ravis!

Nice tour with good bicycles and a great tour guide!

Nice tour with good bicycles and a great tour guide! Our guide Ollie is not the guide you want if you are very conservative, do not want to have fun and the craziest thing you ever did was to cross the road while the pedestrian light was red 😱 Ollie, a great person with a very individual, fantastic and a bit crazy personality made the tour to a true experience.

Lo repetiría mil veces.

Ha sido una travesía excelente. Dominic tiene un gran carisma, gran sentido del humor y es muy atento .... Y por supuesto conoce muy bien la ciudad, las historias oficiales y no oficiales y puede aconsejarte de buenos lugares para conocer y disfrutar!

Great stories of London

We had a great tour with Dom. We have seen all the beautiful places of Westminster, Campden and Waterloo. The vibe, stories, humour and relaxed time was awesome. Thanks Dom, London, and the bicycle company for the tour. See you soon again. Respond to review

Ollie is a true gem

The company does an excellent job from management to booking to the guides they hire. Ollie is a true gem and one of the most authentic human beings I have ever met. Really went above and beyond to ensure we enjoyed our tour by taking us safely throughout the city and sharing his wealth of knowledge with the group. He was funny, personable, and overall just a bright spot on my trip.

Visite très sympa!

Très bon moment ludique avec mon ado pour visiter les points essentiels de Londres. Notre guide Becky était super! Merci à elle

Amazing - even for a Londoner born and bred!

This tour was amazing! I am a Londoner born and bred and thought this would be a fun thing to do with my family visiting from Canada. It was fantastic! Our tor guide Dom was brilliant and I learnt so many new, interesting, awe inspiring things from them throughout the tour. It was such fun to be out on a bike in central London too.

UK Travel Planning Guide: the FAQs

🏥 Should I buy UK travel insurance?

Absolutely yes. Basic coverage is not expensive, and as a visitor you are NOT covered under the NHS. Compare policies and prices with Travel Insurance Master here , a big name in the travel insurance business, and cross that off your list.

🔌 Do I need travel adapters for the UK?

Yes, you do, otherwise you won’t be able to plug in your electronics/phone/lifelines. I recommend this one , which is all-in-one so you can use it in other countries.

🚗 What do I need to drive in the UK?

The first thing you need to check out if you’re planning on renting a car in the UK is this guide to driving in the UK for visitors – the roads, signs, and driving experience will likely not be what you’re used to and it’s essential to prepare yourself to stay safe and aware.

🛌 What’s the best way to book hotels in the UK?

For UK hotels, Booking is the best site as it offers free cancellation on many properties. If you want an apartment, I always recommend VRBO over AirBnb.

📳 Will my phone work in the UK?

Yes – if you set it up right. Check out my guide on making your foreign phone work in the UK to ensure that you get the type of service you need.

🚿 Can I drink the water in the UK?

Yes, UK water is great and perfectly safe. But drink out of taps in any kitchen or use water fountains. Double check before drinking out of the taps in hotel bathrooms, though, as they may be on a different system. London water is safe to drink .

  • For children up to 12 years old or 45kg (100lbs) without good bike handling skills we offer 2-wheeled tandems that allow the passenger to pedal or coast, without having to maintain a high level of balance. All riders over 45kg (100lbs) must ride their own bicycle. We have various sized city bikes to accommodate just about every size of rider, from extra small 20 inch wheeled bikes for riders that are 3.3ft (100cm) to extra large for riders up to 6.5ft (198cm). Unfortunately, we do not have adult tricycles, adult tandems, or bikes with training wheels for adults or children that may be less confident in their riding ability.
  • There is no additional charge for tandems or baby seats. Due to limited availability, please book baby seats, tandems, 20” and 24” wheeled bikes in advance. We do NOT have toddler trailers. 
  • Please Note: All extra small 20 inch and small 24 inch bikes are equipped with both hand brakes.
  • Our city tours are very casual, with only slight elevation changes on varying surfaces including smooth gravel and pavement. It is necessary, however, that any person participating in our bike tours have at least some bike riding experience, and should be comfortable riding in a group.
