Great tour! - Excellent tour. Jack and Ginger were wonderful guides. I recommend using the e-bike if you have any doubt about your comfort with the hills. Very glad I took this tour.

Great tour with a amazing tour guide - Would probably recommend the electric bike just because there is 3 hills that can be slight difficult to go up on, if you do want a challenge then the regular bike will do. I had a very great experience Adam was out tour guide and he did a amazing job on guiding us and helping with our helmets and offered us sunscreen. Adam also made sure that everyone was in a group and didn’t left us behind.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ So much fun! - this was such a fun experience! our tour guide was Ginger and she was great. She took us all around. Told us fun facts about some of the different spots that we stopped at gave us plenty of time to take breaks to grab drinks or snacks. The bridge was super fun, but the wind was crazy strong!!! 💨💨 overall GET the E-bike option for those crazy tall hills, if you buy the regular bike you will SWEAT trying to haul up the tall hills! I can’t wait to do this again!!

Awesome Adventure - Our guide, Ryan, was awesome! He was knowledgeable about the city’s history and brought his own interests into what he shared with us; really interesting insights into the city. He guided us on the bikes through the city, up the hills and across the bridge with ease, and never made anyone feel as though they didn’t have enough experience along the way. He made sure everyone had a good experience, keeping us motivated along the way as the tour was challenging. We had a great time and even finding our way back to the bike rental place was an adventure. Thanks for offering and providing such a wonderful guide. Good luck Ryan!!

Great views along the way - Excellent excursion-bike shop located conveniently just up from the waterfront. Tour guide Ryan was excellent, provided some local knowledge and history along the ride and ensured everyone’s safety. The bikes were decent quality gear bikes. The only suggestions I would make—this is a group excursion and some of the riders were on e-bikes and some on regular bikes—the e-bike riders needed to wait for the regular riders-perhaps separate groups for each bike type. The other suggestion—unless you are a very experienced rider I would suggest e-bike as there are a number of hills and being by the water and on the bridge you experience significant wind resistance. We really enjoyed the experience and would recommend booking.

Amazing tour over Golden Gate Bridge - We had a fantastic time on our tour with Ryan. He gave us a lot of details about the history of San Francisco which was fascinating. We really enjoyed the trip to Sausalito and Ryan was a great tour guide.

Awesome Bike Tour - This was a fantastic tour. If you're a cycling enthusiast, you're in for a real treat and a great workout. Our tour guide Ryan is the G.O.A.T. Kind, knowledgeable, and very down to earth.
The stops along the route were great, learned a lot about the city's history and got some fantastic photos.
I highly recommend this tour. It was a great experience, especially if you want to do something outside of traditional sightseeing.

Fine bike, guide was unnecessary - The guide was only present to take you to some locations and then take pictures of you. The 'stories' about the the locations themselves were minimal or nothing at all. The guide was otherwise nice and has a bicycle tire stuck. The bikes were robust, but the included lock simple.
