Fantastic E-Bike Ride Over the Golden Gate Bridge - We had a great time on this bike ride from San Francisco to Sausalito and over the Golden Gate Bridge. We did the E-Bikes, which I highly recommend as there are some steep hills. Marcus, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable about all the sites that we stopped at along our route & about San Francisco history in general, which made the experience that much more enjoyable.

Only In San Francisco Experience - We had a great ride through San Francisco and over the Golden Gate Bridge and down into Sausalito.
The weather was misty fog but that did not deter us as we had an awesome guide, Marcus.
Marcus stopped at many historical points of interest and told us the stories that make a tour like this immersive. He answered all of the group’s questions and had an iPad with historical photos he passed around that he researched to enhance the stories.
In addition the ride across the Golden Gate Bridge is thrilling and spectacular. And the one way ferry boat ride back with our bikes from Sausalito was memorable as well.
If you want to learn the local history and have an ‘only in San Francisco’ experience, then sign up for this ride and ask for Marcus as your guide.

Went twice - unforgettable experience! - The bike tour from the Golden Gate Bridge to Sausalito was definitely one of my most memorable experiences in SF! It was so incredible to the point we went twice :’)
The views were so beautiful and mesmerizing. Staff were extremely helpful & friendly. Equipment worked well. It honestly could have not gotten better.
Our first tour was with Orla and Tate. Orla was super kind, knowledgable in SF history, and extremely patient with us! We were more on the slower end so we ended up riding apart from the group with Tate. Nonetheless, Tate was an absolute sweetheart and I really enjoyed my time with him :)
Our second tour was with Daniel and he was super funny and friendly. Super patient, understanding, and very knowledgable in his history too.
Overall, an unforgettable experience! Will most likely come again (for the third time) ☺️

We passed the Golden gate bridge, and on the way back we tried the Golden gate Park. This, in my opinion, must be shot on foot - The reception and service were very positive.
Guy Giovanni, helpful and competent, with an important bike park.
The bikes you have been assigned are well behaved, and without defects.
The ride on the Golden gate bridge is magnificent, but count fog and wind possible!
