Most SF tours show you what's on a postcard. The Soul of SF Tour shows you what makes locals love this city. Led by Haight-Ashbury locals who've ridden these streets for decades, this 3-hour e-bike tour winds through the neighborhoods that define real San Francisco — the Mission's mural-covered alleys, the Painted Ladies at Alamo Square, the Castro's rainbow-flagged sidewalks, the staircase climbs of Telegraph Hill, the food culture of Valencia Street. Our route has hidden viewpoints, dive bars locals love, vintage shops worth the stop, and street art you'd never find on your own. Premium e-bikes make SF's hills disappear. You'll cover ground a walking tour can't, see the city the way locals see it (not from a tour bus window), and have time to actually stop, taste, and take photos. What you'll experience: • Haight-Ashbury (where the tour starts — the soul of SF counterculture) • Alamo Square + the Painted Ladies (the iconic SF skyline shot) • The Mission District (murals, mural alleys, taquerias, vintage shops) • The Castro (history, pride, great cafes) • Telegraph Hill (stairs you walk on a regular tour, we ride past on e-bikes) • Hidden viewpoints, secret staircases, and spots the chain tours skip What's included: • Premium 2024 Rad Power e-bike • Helmet, lock, water • Haight-Ashbury local guide (max 8 guests, real personalities) • Curated stops at locally loved spots (food, drink, art) • Photo opportunities with all the angles your friends back home don't have 3-hour tour. Daily departures. Free cancellation up to 24 hours. Owner-operated since 2013. 1,000+ 5★ Google reviews. The tour SF locals send their visiting family on.

I rented five e-bikes bikes at Dandyhorse. Four for my wife and three of my kids, and the other one for me with my 9 year old riding on the back. We rode down through the Presidio, across the Golden Gate Bridge to Sausalito. It was amazing! After a lunch break in Sausalito we took a ferry back to Pier 39, and then rode around San Francisco for another hour or so before returning the bikes. San Francisco has so much to see, and some of the best things are just in little corner neighborhood markets and other off-the-beaten path locations. These bikes let us see both the big tourist items (like the Golden Gate) as well as ride thru random streets to see what life was like in the City. I'd highly recommend Dandyhorse. Amazing experience that ended up being probably the favorite activity of our entire trip.

Just had an amazing time on my guided tour of San Francisco. Eli did a terrific job of entertaining while giving interesting information throughout. Highlights were golden gate park, Presidio and even crossing the golden gate bridge. Highly recommended and def ask for Eli

Wonderful experience. The park was beautiful and the weather was perfect. From the flowers, to the art, to the people just enjoying the space, it felt perfect. The bike was a great way to experience it. The bridge has hidden from us multiple times in the fog on our days in San Fran. Today, we went to it and it was amazing. Bike had enough power to make it up the hills but took a some effort on several of the big ones. I did standard and it did just fine comfort wise. John, our guide, was outstanding. Very accommodating and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this experience. It was the highlight of our weekend here.
