We had a day to kill in San Francisco on our massive trip of the US and decided to book this tour. Our tour guide Ryan was amazing - he was extremely passionate about San Francisco and its history. He was accommodating of all four members of our party and differing levels of fitness and bike ability. Highly recommend this tour to see the sights - ending in the beautiful Sausalito with a quick ferry ride back to SF.
Starting in one of the only true Fisherman’s Wharfs left in America you will be lead on a journey along the coast to see sea lions, dolphins, military forts, & more. As you cycle your way over The Golden Gate Bridge, take in the unique topography and skylines that will lead you from one waterfront to the next. Once over the “International Orange” Golden Gate Bridge, coast downhill into sunny Sausalito where this tour concludes. Riders can enjoy the town of Sausalito. Post tour, folks can return back to San Francisco by riding the bike back at your own pace. Also, you can optionally take a ferry back to the city (Ferry ticket not included), and in high season we offer a Sausalito bike drop for those who wish to leave their bike in Sausalito for an extra fee.

Never before had we experienced the joy of gliding along on an E-Bike – we are so glad we chose Bay City Bike Tours for our initiation! With a friendly set-up and very straightforward to use bikes, we were on our way in no time at all.
In true San Francisco style, it was a little wet at times (always have your coat handy in this city), but our guide, Ryan Coats, was fantastic – he made it a fun and entertaining experience from start to finish. He not only took us along the promenade route and across the famous Golden Gate Bridge, but also through some of the local neighbourhoods so we could experience the city’s wonderful array of architecture.
This also gave us the chance to enjoy the seasonal spectacle that is American Halloween, spotting some wonderfully spooky delights along the way – from giant skeletons to vast spider webs – adding a unique flavour to the ride.
Of course, the highlight was crossing the Golden Gate Bridge itself! Truly an inspiring feat of engineering, with unbeatable views of the great bay. Ryan was deeply knowledgeable about the area’s history, and we learned so many fascinating facts from him.
The tour finished in Sausalito around noon, where we were free to explore with the bikes until 7:30 pm. There was ample time to enjoy everything via the best form of transportation! Adventurous souls can easily visit the nearby natural gems of Marin County, but Sausalito itself offers plenty of fabulous food outlets and quaint little shops – a charmingly relaxed contrast to the big-city bustle across the water.
There’s also a ferry return option for those with tired legs, though we chose to ride back the scenic way and relive the route all over again!
Had we been staying in San Francisco for longer, we would definitely have returned to take advantage of Bay City Bike Tours and their generous, liberating tours of the city.

Jodi was an excellent guide. She was very informative and friendly. She took the time to take pictures and answer our questions. She warned us about the steep hills in Sausalito before flying down them.
