TOUR 1: The Grand London Tour - perfect for the first time visitor to London
 
Want to see all of London’s ‘must-see’ sights and attractions? Want to hear quirky tales about London’s amazing and sometimes bizarre history? Want to visit off the beaten track places that Tour Buses can’t take you? Then this is the tour for you. The Grand London Tour is designed to show you London in all of its glory – great monuments as well as hidden nooks and crannies – and to give a taste of a Londoner’s London.
 
There are so many wonderfully eccentric characters, peculiar traditions and eyebrow-raising monuments to discover on the carefully selected route, that the Grand London Tour really is a must-do for anyone who wishes to unravel London’s most bizarre past and present.

My husband and I took the tour with our young teen twins on our first day in London. Despite the masses of tourists, Chris took us to unpopulated nooks and crannies that we never would have seen and kept up amusing and knowledgeable historical and anecdotal commentary that entertained and informed us. My kids were dissappointed when the 3 1/2 hours were over. Chris is a wonderful tour guide and it is GREAT value for the money, especially in pricey London. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!! 16 Aug 2010

My sister and I took the Secret London Tour and it was one of the highlights of our entire trip (and we even went to Lovebox). Although it was somewhat rainy that day, the ride through the streets and alleys of London was quite enjoyable and leisurely. We saw sights, like where Jack the Ripper once had his fun, and places, like Dirty Dicks historic pub, that we would have never seen exploring the city on our own. Our guide Chris was very friendly and knowledgeable, and he made the tour very fun and informative. He told us about some fun facts about the city that I'm sure few tours tell their guests. Ask him what the River Thames washes up every now and again! If you've been to London before and are looking for something a little different to see, I highly recommend Brakeway's Secret London Tour. It's a must!  Phoenix Arizona, Aug 2010

Taking part in this guided bike tour through London was big fun: Nice guide, nice bikes, good informations. Take your camera with you to help you remember all the places you´ve seen during the tour - there will be many of them! Highly recommandable for everybody who likes to discover a town from a rather uncommon perspective. Astrid, Germany August 2010
