I highly recommand this experience! They are extremely supportive and professional. When collecting the bike, they give you all the info on the route you should follow based on your preferred attractions to visit. They are also available to support you via phone during your ride if needed. We had an issue on the way with our bike (One wheel flat) and they gave us all the needed instructions as well as the chance to leave the bike to the nearest store (the have two locations). I would choose them Again if I'll be back! Thanks for the Amazing day

Great Ride!

The challenge of cycling around hilly San Francisco and across the Golden Gate Bridge was made easier with the guidance of the owner and the quality of the bike. Highly recommend them if you are in need of this type of service.

Super nice and gentle guy and stressless service. WE could keep the bikes over night and return next morning.

Great way to see more of SF🇺🇸👍

Nice way of exploring the city. Good facilities to ride a bike in town. Riding to the Golden Gate and back with the ferry is a good day program.

Super friendly staff. The first staff member I met was happy to stay with me as I waited for my friend, since anybody can come along and try to steal your bike. Michael was really cordial, friendly and polite.

SF CA bay loop ride

Silvestre_A, Jan 2023
Crossing the Golden Gate Bridge was really awesome! Bonus seeing the little town of Sausalito along the loop way to the ferry ride back to fisherman’s wharf

Excellent and over the top service.

The gentleman at Alcatraz tours and bike rentals was very kind to us. We got stuck over the Golden Gate Bridge and didn’t make it back before closing. He waited for us and gave us both a water that we really needed. 5 stars for them.

Bumpy seat

stevecheng999, Jan 2020
Bike seat could be bigger and softer. Bike could benefit from added suspension to wheels to absorb any bumpy ride.

Super

Super toffe man. Geen verborgen extra’s. Fietsen super goed. We werden goed gesoigneerd. Mochten de fietsen langer bijhouden, zonder extra kosten.

Très bonne expérience !
