Fantastic cycling tour of London's East End via the Old Town tour. My tour guide was Jordi, and he was superb; very knowledgeable about places of interest around the tour route. The route is a carefully chosen mixture of cycle paths and quiet stretches of London's roads. At each stop, after roughly every 5-10 minutes max riding time, there was a break, a chat about each place, and opportunities to ask questions, of which Jordi always had the answer. The route was mostly flat with a limited number of inclines, but nothing that would put off the majority of people. People like myself who may have liked to have taken a hire bike to London's roads but were nervous about doing so would do well to book on a tour like this in the first instance. To be under the guide of an experienced cyclist makes negotiating London traffic very easy. I would recommend this tour to anyone who would like to see more of the real London, to get off the beaten track and see some parts that tourists, even regular visitors to London like myself, would like to see.
