Great way to see a huge part of SF in a few hours.

Published on Oct, 2024

Great tour to see much of the city! Adam was wonderfully knowledgeable and friendly for the entire tour. He made a point of including relevant information that was pertinent to us specifically. Would totally recommend this tour!

Morning tour

Published on Sep, 2024

Great time- I thought I would be exhausted due to the hills but with the electric bike it was so easy. I would highly recommend the excursion.

The best way to see SF

Published on Aug, 2024

A little pricey but worth the $ (and you get to keep the bike, which comes with a lock, until nighttime). Our tour guide Adam really knows SF. He has a passion for the place, and it shows. See Chinatown, a fortune-cookie factory, the shoreline, skyscrapers, stadiums, house boats, old SF, street art, the Mission and beyond. Better than hop-on/hope-off and a walking tour, because you cover way more ground quickly. Don’t forget to ask Adam for ideas for bars, restaurants, sites to see, etc. We followed his advice (who doesn’t love an tiki bar!) and it really enriched the trip. You don’t have to be an expert bicyclist by any means but I wouldn’t recommend the tour if you’re a legitimately bad bicyclist.

Thank You Bay City Tours (and Adam)!

Published on Jul, 2024

What an excellent tour! I cannot say enough nice things about our tour guide, Adam. He was incredibly attentive and made sure I was safe the entire time. His knowledge of each neighborhood and San Fran history was impressive. This was a memorable experience, and I highly recommend making this tour part of your next trip to the Bay.

Great tour
