Superb solo tour. Highly recommended!

Adam_M, Oct 2024
As I was travelling solo, I thought this would be a novel and interesting way to see the sights of San Francisco. I was proven right. Jerome was an excellent guide, who was knowledgeably informed about San Francisco and its history. I saw places that perhaps I wouldn’t have seen by myself. The highlight - driving over Golden Gate Bridge and the photos after with the bridge as the backdrop. Thanks Jerome. I really enjoyed it.

MUST TRY this sidecar your!

Jérôme was a great host! Very knowledgeable and entertaining and made the tour a blast. My gf said after the tour that she now refuses to travel by any means other than a sidecar! Give it a shot, you won’t regret it.

Lovely experience with great tour guide!

We had a great time touring San Francisco. Our guides were lovely guys who explained everything we saw and put stuff in context. We saw everything we wanted to and had plenty of time to take photos at every stop. Highly recommended! Also, the sidecar is awesome!

Best trip we booked

Susan_H, Feb 2022
Got to ride across Golden Gate Bridge, down to great coastal view points and woodlands. Great fun, felt very safe and had microphone interaction throughout. Trip took us to many places around the city from coastal to beautiful parks with views of the city. Jerome was courteous, friendly and knowledgeable

Must Do!

What a riot! Not only is this one of the best unique experience I have found on Viator, I became the Queen of San Fran as I was going around town with Jerome, who knows EVERYONE. People will hollar, wave at the beautiful bike and be envious that YOU are riding in it. Be the envy of the town! Jerome really gave a taste of all the best that San Fran has to offer. My only regret was not doing this adventure FIRST in my trip because he pointed out places I would have visited that I hadn't originally planned based on his storytelling of this city's amazing history. Just do it and walk away with photos and stories you'll remember for the rest of your life. THANKS JEROME!!

You have to do it

One of the best experiences I had as a tourist; COVID safe!! Looking at the sunset, the sense of freedom, with a nice historical touch, the host really kind and pleasant, definitely I will do it again, its once on al lifetime experience

Great side car tour with Jerome

Sbastien_V, Dec 2020
Really enjoy this trip that give a great overview of SF city. The side-car tour has several advantages compared to "classical" tours : - easy to look in all directions - easy to get around (even in small alleys) - Enjoy the Californian weather (even in december) - Covid free I highly recommend this experience to discover san francisco

Finally traveling 🧭 during this Pandemic 😷.. Luckily I chose this wonderful tour!! Completely safe protocols for Covid👏👏 Jerome was the most professional tour guide ; he took me to all the amazing views that San Francisco has to offer. I am traveling to visit my nephew & stopped over briefly in San Francisco to experience the scenery that my hometown doesn’t have. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ✌️✌️🏍💨💨🌉

AMAZING !!!!

Amélie F, Oct 2019
Si je pouvais je mettrais 1000 étoiles ! Ce fut l’un des meilleurs tours que j’ai pu faire dans ma vie ! San Francisco est une ville magnifique remplie de merveilles, mais pouvoir la visiter en side car c’était encore plus beau ! La balade en side car était au delà de mes attentes. On a de belles sensations (liberté joie et en plus les gens autour sont intrigués et/ou enjoués de voir un side car, c’est très rigolo à vivre :) merci à Jérôme, un guide sensationnel,d drôle, gentil, attentionné et qui plus est fait de belles photos ! N’hésitez pas vous ne serez pas déçu !!!
