Beautiful bike across the bridge

Scenery was great. Weather was great. Enjoyed the flexibility provided along the trip to allow for changes/stops anywhere we liked. The route was well-planned. The guide was friendly and enthusiastic but unfortunately not as knowledgeable as would have expected for this sort of thing.

Once in a Lifetime Experience!

Once in a lifetime experience. Did this with our 22 yo son and 17 yo daughter. Beyond amazing experience … our guide was incredible. Saw places around San Fran we didn’t know existed. Electric bike for the win!

Best tour guides and bike ride ever!!!!

This bike tour is a must. My husband and I had a blast with the e-bikes we rented. They are so worth the extra cost for all the hills in San Francisco. Very easy to learn how to use and easier still to ride through all the beautiful scenery that our tour guides pointed out to us. Thank you so much Marcus and Ula. (Forgive me on the spelling of your wife’s name.) Both of you are so very kind and wonderful to have spent your time showing us around. We truly had the best time riding with ease and comfort, not worrying about where to go or how to get there was the best part. You took all the guess work out of the tour and we just enjoyed the scenery and able to take it all in. Thanks so much Joe &Cristina -Austin,Tx.
