River Thames mountain bike tour

Join us for a mountain bike tour along the River Thames, taking in some of the most iconic historical sites and views near London.

Who is this for?

Our bike trips are open to cyclists of all abilities, from novices, to those who cycle regularly. We guarantee you'll experience some beautiful sites, and leave with a smile on your face!

Children over 14 are welcome if they are accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.

Is it safe?

Yes - we cycle on the towpath by the river where there's no traffic, and you'll be accompanied by a fully qualified mountain bike instructor at all times.

Where will we go?

You will be cycling along one of the most beautiful stretches of the Thames, towards Ham House, Eel Pie Island and Kingston. We can even take in Hampton Court Palace if you would like to add an extension to the trip.

Can I cancel or reschedule after I've booked?

Please see our cancellation policy. You have the option to add day before Flexi Rescheduling as an add-on when you book.

You need a reasonable level of fitness to cycle along flat paths, and be able to ride a bike!

Please arrive wearing the clothes you intend to cycle in as we have only rudimentary changing facilities.

We have a safe lockable storage space for your bags and valuables.

No specialist clothing is required, but bring a waterproof jacket in case it rains.

You will need to wear a cycle helmet, which we will provide.

And we'll provide Trek mountain bikes!

After a short safety briefing we will head off along the towpath towards Kingston. We will have a short break half way through the trip, and then return to the start point.
