We were visiting from Chicago and took the tour on Christmas Day. It was an amazing way to experience San Francisco. The route has a mix of riding and stops to learn about the city’s history and geography. There are some hills as you might expect so be prepared to work a little. Our only disappointment (not the company’s fault) was that the ferry from Sausalito was closed for the holiday so we cut the trip short since nothing was open in town. The guide let us know in advance so we were able to adjust our ride.

Our tour guide Mark was very friendly and knowledgeable. He incorporated story telling throughout the tour about the history of the city and sites as well as current facts. The route was a little challenging (mix of riding on the trail and road next to cards). It's work getting an e-bike, there are a lot of hills. Overall, the route and stops were fun and enjoyable. Sausalito was also a great was to end the trip. Lots of restaurants and great views.

Judy guided us through the coastal park of San Francisco over the Golden Gate Bridge to Sausalito. She was very knowledgeable and funny with some great stories. We were lucky enough just to be on the tour by ourselves. Check in was very easy and equipment and explanation on how to use our bikes was good. Can highly recommend this tour.

Muir Woods is absolutely breath-taking! The bus ride was comfortable and you have plenty of time to check out the different places you stop at.

Our tour guide Danillo was fantastic and Muir Woods was stunning.
