It's an amazing experience. A real credit to the skill of the instructor in taking us from complete novices to successful riders. And then riding around iconic parts of London. Brilliant.

A great experience expertly led by Neil. Everyone in the group got the hang of it and we cruised around Buckingham Palace in the sunshine as if we owned the place 😅

Without doubt the best, most unique and memorable short excursion my friends and I have ever done. Thank you Neil.

this was a lot of fun and might be the most unique part of my trip. you get more attention riding these than if you had an exotic car, it's pretty funny.

Bought for my partners birthday present. He absolutely loved it and had the best time. Was with a lovely group of people. He wants to do it again.

I bought this as a Christmas gift for someone who really wanted to have a go and was delighted to come across this experience! A really unusual and special experience! Wonderful to see how the group moved from never getting on a penny farthing to cycling down the Mall to Buckingham Palace! Great and knowledgeable host. Fantastic!
