About this activity

On this bike tour you will learn how SF has been shaped by waves of settlers, from Spanish missionaries to Silicon Valley techies, each redefining the city in its own way. Join us as we pedal past dazzling murals, Victorian row houses, famous viewpoints, thriving commercial districts, and gems of Golden Gate Park. You’ll come away with new perspectives on the city, and you’ll have plenty of ideas about where to go next.

But what about the hills? We’ve minimized the hills and use the gentlest ascents possible. The route is designed for anyone comfortable on a bike with a modest level of fitness. We don’t stop for lunch on this tour, but we do include a snack stop.

Neighborhoods visited:

Hayes Valley, Alamo Square, Nopa, Golden Gate Park, Haight-Ashbury, Lower Haight, the Castro, the Mission, Civic Center.

This company is great! We were the first tour of the day, everything was organised and ready to go. We loved the teamwork and the little touches like water, sunscreen and huge local knowledge. Josh was our guide and probably one of the best guides weve had the pleasure to be on a trip with, intelligent, knowledgeable and great sense of humour. Highly recommend

Excellent bike tour of San Francisco. Not difficult at all as far as navigating the less aggressive hills. We covered so much of the city that we got a really good overview of the areas that make SF so interesting and exciting. Our guide, Josh was very knowledgeable re: history, culture, etc. A++

We switched to the ELECTRIC bike tour as that is the one I thought I reserved. In any case, THE BEST THING we did the whole trip. LOVED it! Brandon our tour guide was great as well. Highly recommend!

A slightly late start as we waited on a few people, but that gave our guide, Earl, time to talk me through where we were going and his background in NY. The guys at the bike shop were friendly enough, although do allow an extra 5 minutes for your taxi to find the place! The tour itself was great, stopping regularly and avoiding the large hills by skirting around The Wiggle. Saw all the things I wanted to and a few more who knew the tower in the park had a 9th floor free viewing gallery!?. Lunch would have been great it is wasn't for a concert making it 5x more busy than usual according to Earl. All in all - fully recommend. If you have zero bike experience or are very unfit, do something else, but if you're either of them you're probably not even looking at this review o.
