Let’s talk about preparing for your Bike Tours experience in London! Given that these tours range from 60 to 270 minutes, and many offer fantastic views of the city, we want you to be comfortable and prepared for a moderate outdoor activity.
Considering the duration, which can extend up to two and a half hours with some options, it’s essential to wear comfortable clothing suitable for cycling. This means athletic or casual trousers or jeans that won't restrict your movement, and a breathable t-shirt or top. We offer 22 different tours, so you will want to ensure you are ready for a good workout!
Crucially, you should bring sturdy footwear – trainers or walking shoes with good grip are ideal. You’ll be spending a fair amount of time on your feet between cycling sections and potentially stopping to admire the sights. Layers are also highly recommended as London weather can change quickly. A light jacket or fleece will allow you to adjust to varying temperatures throughout your tour.
Finally, don't forget essentials like sunscreen, a hat for sun protection, and perhaps a small bottle of water, especially during warmer months. With an average rating of 4.9/5 across the 17 reviews of “The Royal Express - 2.5 hour” tour, we’re confident you'll have a memorable experience. The price range is £7 to £350 depending on the duration.
