Pedal past sights like Aquatic Park Cove, part of San Francisco Maritime National Historic Park, and enjoy views of Alcatraz Island and the Golden Gate Bridge. Then continue past Fort Mason Center, a National Historic Landmark; Marina Green, where beautiful homes face the water; the Palace of Fine Arts, built for the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition; and Crissy Field, part of Golden Gate National Recreation Area.
When you arrive at Fort Point, at the base of the Golden Gate Bridge, take advantage of a great photo op of the iconic red towers before crossing the bridge’s 1.7-mile (2.7-km) span, which ends at Vista Point, another panoramic viewpoint for photos of the bay and city skyline.

Traveler Tips
There were a couple of small uphills, but time was allocated for those who preferred to get off and walk uphill
I was shaking by the time we got across the bridge but it was worth it because the views were spectacular.

Amazing Experience
Wildaliz_H, May 2022
This was the best experience of my San Francisco trip! Judy was our bike tour guide and really made it memorable. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and patient with everyone as we had both beginner and advanced bicyclists in our group. The tour itself was amazing- cycling though San Francisco, across the Golden Gate Bridge and on to Sausalito, which was beautiful! I can’t wait to do this again!
A memorable day for our family
John_C, May 2022
This was a memorable day for our family!! Such an enjoyable bike tour! Our tour guide Blake was so great! Friendly and knowledgeable about San Francisco history. Made short stops along the way to rest and share more area history. Took us to so many beautiful locations. Yes, i used a “pedal-assist” electric bike (first time) - super easy to operate and navigate the slightly hilly tour. I’m 62 years old and no problem keeping up with group. Thanks Blake for a great day! John & Jennifer Church and Katie

Response from Host, Apr 2022
Hi there
Thanks for describing your ride :) Hope it was a blast!
Great ride from San Fran...
Andrew_H, Mar 2022
Great ride from San Fran to Sausalito. Blake was an excellent guide, had interesting stories and facts about the city to share and did so with personality. The ride itself was a little more challenging than anticipated (we used regular bikes) but we rode at an easy pace and Blake made sure not to rush anyone and wait for the last riders before starting to speak. Lucked out with some clear skies although the wind was still pretty strong throughout. Definitely recommend bringing layers. Sausalito was amazing to ride into and the timing was great…we got there with enough time for a quick lunch and walk of the shoreline before grabbing the ferry to head back to SF. This was a great experience and wonderful way to learn about SF.
Great ride with amazing views
Brandi_D, Mar 2022
Blake was our guide. He was very knowledgeable and attentive to make sure we were able to have breaks when needed. It was a great tour and I would recommend it. It was very strenuous with some of the hills but well worth it.
Blake was great. We got...

Blake was great. We got to see lots of cool stuff and he adapted to our weird schedule. Super interesting part of SF with plenty to see and learn about. Ebikes are the bomb.

Thansk Zach! I will be sure to share this with Blake, so happy you loved the bike tour & the E-bikes!

Great tour guide - CRAPPY bikes
David_G, Nov 2021
The tour and the tour guide itself are great. Bikes were terrible. My 3rd time renting electric bikes with other tours companies and this one is far the most disappointing. We had the bikes till 7pm but by 3 pm the bikes were already almost out of battery life. The bikes normal gears didn’t work at all on one of our bikes. Going up hills you had to do most of the work because the bike couldn’t get up the hill without you doing most of the peddling. Would pass on this tour. Only gave it a 3 star because of the guide. She’s was awesome.
