Must do!

The Best!!!! What I thought was going to be a bike ride across the bridge turned out to be so much more. The guide was very knowledgeable and took us to some unique spots. We were first time e-bike users and had a great experience. Would definitely recommend.

The best tour by far!

My Husband & I did a group tour today out to the Golden Gate Bridge. We were greeted at the business premises by the wonderful kind and friendly staff. Adam was our guide and he made it an exceptional experience. He is very knowledgeable about so many historical topics and has a keen love for nature especially bird life. Our group was small, different age groups and abilities. Adam explained everything with a big emphasis on safety. The ride was one of the highlights of our trip and next time we visit San Francisco we will definitely be back to take another trip. Thank you to all the team. Please remember to tip your guide as they do their very best to make it a great experience! 😉 🚲 😍 Many thanks Samantha & Tom Larkin

Fantastic ride!

Our e-bike tour from the Golden Gate Bridge to Sausalito was informative, smooth, and perfectly paced — plenty of time to soak in the views without feeling rushed. Adam was an awesome guide: super knowledgeable, friendly, and the kind of person who made us feel instantly comfortable. We had such a great time that we immediately booked the “Streets of San Francisco” tour with Adam for the very next day. Highly recommend if you want sightseeing, fun facts, and a great vibe all rolled into one adventure!

Wonderful guided e-bike ride tour. You won’t be disappointed.

We took the E-bike private tour to the Golden Gate Bridge and Sausalito . It was a three hour trip and our guide was Adam. He was very knowledgeable and sensitive to my anxiety about riding an e-bike for several miles. It went great. He guided us perfectly, stopped for pictures, potty breaks and drinks if needed. Told us a lot of interesting history, and generally made sure the ride was very enjoyable. The bikes seemed well maintained and easy to use. I would definitely recommend Bay City Bikes and Adam. It was a great day.

Overall a good experience. Route was amazing and felt comfortable the entire time. Guide lacked knowledge of facts and history so that part was limited.

Operator response

Hi there, Thank you for your honest feedback, we’re really glad to hear you enjoyed the route and felt comfortable throughout the ride! We also appreciate you pointing out the experience with the guide. That’s not the standard we aim for, and we’ll be addressing this with our team to make sure future tours are as informative as they should be. Thanks again for riding with us, and we hope to give you a fully 5-star experience next time!
