Why We Love this Tour

“Don’t let the hills scare you! This is by far one of the best and most scenic ways to cover some ground around San Francisco. One of the best ways to experience the Golden Gate Bridge is to bike over it and spend the afternoon eating seafood with a beautiful city view from Sausalito then bring the ferry back. Bikes are also an excellent way to explore flatter parts of the city like the massive Golden Gate Park or eating your way through the Mission District.”

Overview

Biking in San Francisco

Don’t be afraid of a San Francisco Bike Rental. Despite the famous steep hills, bicycling is a very popular mode of transportation in San Francisco. Voted as a top city for cycling, San Francisco is laced with 63 miles of bicycle lanes and paths. There is something for every riding ability ranging from the paved embarcadero waterfront to dirt singletracks in the hills. Bicycle rental packages include everything you need for an enjoyable day exploring the City by the Bay on a bike. Maps and touring suggestions lead you down the most scenic and least demanding routes through the city, and local buses and ferries are equipped with bicycle racks in case your wanderlust outlasts your stamina. Ride across the Golden Gate Bridge to Sausalito, or tour the Embarcadero and Fisherman’s Wharf on your way to Golden Gate Park. The itinerary is up to you. Tour San Francisco by bicycle and see the city for yourself.

FUN DAY! We had a fabulous time with our guide, Hunter. He was very interesting, patient and accommodating.

Informative, Friendly, and Helpful

The staff were informative, friendly and helpful making the process very simple. They provided us with a map and showed us where to go. They also gave us the tickets for the return journey by ferry from Sausalito which we did not have to pay for if unused ($11). We biked the Golden Gate Bridge which was a lovely route, only 2 hills! Only downside was the fog over the bridge but sunny Sausalito more than made up for it. We were not expecting anything from Sausalito but it was a beautiful little town with shops, restaurants and galleries

Excellent Day Out

This is not be missed. The staff were incredibly friendly and the cycle routes were easy to use. There was plenty of time to take pictures on the bridge, and Sausalito was a lovely place to have lunch. Ferrying with the bike was easy and the staff again were efficient and friendly when returning the bikes. Excellent day out.
