  • What do you do if there’s no changing of the guard?
    We still see Buckingham Palace and the guards that are stationed there, there's just not a full ceremony. We also go cycle around Hyde Park if there's no changing of the guard. If you're ok with not seeing the ceremony, you may go ahead and book other days but if you're keen on seeing it, we recommend booking a Monday, Wednesday, Friday, or Sunday tour.Few readers

  • Is the tour suitable for beginners?
    Absolutely! We welcome beginners, but it's important to note that all riders (except children on tag-along bikes) need to be confident biking solo. London can be bustling, so it's not the ideal place to learn to cycle. We prioritize safety and use bike lanes wherever possible. Just make sure everyone in your group is comfortable with this.Few readers

    Unfortunately not - one person has to be at least 18 to be considered an adult. Sorry!Few readers
