Ride classic British Pashley bikes through central London with guides such as James, Edward, or Jack. See Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, Covent Garden, and the London Eye, then stop at the Lamb & Flag pub and spray-paint a mural in the Waterloo Graffiti Tunnel. Small groups, helmets or tweed caps, and bag storage are included.

“Jack is a fun and knowledgeable tour guide who engages the group with local insights and occasional history trivia questions. Bikes were Pashleys, a respected British brand that are an easy ride. No gears. It is flat terrain. We came away with lots of British history and, moreover, an understanding of London from day one. Enjoyed the stop at the Grafitti Tunnel and the chance to do some spray painting. The pub visit changed my standards on ales for good. We highly recommend this tour!”
