BrakeAway Bike Tours

Amazing way to see the city. Loved it so much we returned the next day for a second version of the tour. The level of detail you see on a bike is spectacular. My 13 yr old kept up fine and the 45 yr olds loved it too. Host was knowledgable and passionate. Paddington meetup was super convenient as well! Loved the primary London tour and the Secret London tour.

I really enjoyed the London bike tour with Ollie! Our group was small and the tour was fast paced. Ollie loved giving us the history on each stop which made the tour great! The Banksy tunnel and the changing of the guard were definite highlights. If you are looking for an active way to see London, this is it!

The best way to see London with kids. Patrick was fabulous, so engaging and loved the dramatic story telling. Kids highlight was the graffiti tunnel. Fun for the whole family. Our kids were 7, 9 & 11 and the bike riding was not an issue at all. Could not recommend this tour more.

It was my first trip to London from the US. I was really excited based on two other friends that told me about the tour and the education about the city. Setting up the tour was quick and easy online which being on vacation is always nice. It was smooth and seamless. Chris sent me a follow up welcome email and confirmation. The day I arrived Paul our guide greeted us all with a genuine smile and an honest eagerness to show us the town.It was a pleasant ride and the history of the stops was really great. Paul was a gentlemen in every way. He kept close watch on the ten participants in the tour making sure everyone was accounted for and that everyone felt welcomed and were included in every aspect of the trip. I'm not sure when I will go back to London, but I know that as soon as I do I will want to take friends along with me on the next ride. I will say if you'd like a nice easy stroll through the city and you're interested in some of the history provided it's a great time and really fun.Thank you Paul and thank you Chris for such an amazing time.I will truly be coming back with friends on my next visit.Sincerely,Tim BondLos Angeles, CA

AWESOME TOUR !!! Chris helped us set up a private tour, because we had 14 people, adults and kids. Pat, our guide that day was superb! Tons of great info and lots of interesting stuff to see and learn about. Do you know where the term TIP comes from? Go see Pat and take a tour. Not to mention the graffiti session in the tunnel. If you wanna do a really fun and informative e tour of London, this is the ONE ;)

My wife Sarah and I and our 27 year old son booked a private BrakeAway bike tour for the three of us. Patrick was our guide and he took us on a remarkable three hour tour. The path he took us on avoided busy streets but instead wound on bike paths, park lanes, quiet back streets, and so on. Patrick would stop at significant points to tell us about where we were and what we were seeing. Patrick is an actor and he made these stops a delight with his dramatic and humorous personaltiy. And lots of interesting anecdotes or interesting details. Being on bikes meant we could get from stop to stop quickly and always on a pleasant path. Saw so many major sights, and so many hidden" sights - like the lovely back streets of Westminster

This was the best thing thing we did in London. Our guide, Pat was fantastic and all his incredible historical knowledge was presented in an entertaining way which was easy to enjoy. Lots of fun facts that we have shared with others since.I took my 12 year old and would recommend this for any age who can ride a bike well. An absolute must even if you have been to London before. Thanks for a great memory.

This was our second tour with you and we enjoyed it even more than the first one. We’ve been to London many times and the secret visits on this tour are truly secret! We did the tour with our son who lives in London and he also enjoyed it a lot. The bikes are great. The route is easy to follow. A nice break in the middle for some refreshments. And I cannot give enough praise to our guide Pat who knows so much about history, fun facts and Shakespeare. Highly recommended.

Great way to start your trip in London.We landed at 6:30am coming from the US and we’re able to get checked in to our hotel and make it for the 10.15 meeting time for our tour. What a great start to our adventure. The tour takes you to so many areas in London and gives you a basic understanding on how to get around. Our guide was fantastic and told us more about the history than you could imagine. Seeing the sites on bikes is always a great way to get more accomplished in a short amount of time. We had so much fun we rode bikes in 5 more cities on our adventures thru the UK and Ireland. Would recommend to everyone.

This tour was amazing, Chris and Patrick were both very patient with us since we were the last in our tour. My friend had not been on a bike in years and we were able to ride with everyone and felt like we were taken care of the entire time. So glad we did this!!
