Adam led our family of 6 plus other travelers on an educational & fun tour of the city. Adam did a great job of making us feel safe riding bikes through the streets of San Francisco. The e-bikes were a lot of fun and helped us cover many of the different San Francisco neighborhoods. Adam is very passionate about the city and its history.

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 experience to explore San Francisco

JanThorsten_G, Jul 2023
Great tour. Nice guide Adam. With electric bikes there are no problems to climb up the hills. Top hot spot visits. After the tour we kept the bikes for additional 3 hours to explore Golden Gate Bridge

Quirky and worth it

Molly_B, Jul 2023
Adam’s quirky knowledge made this tour a super time! It was fun, informative, and worth our all of our time.

Great expericiemce with top Tour guide Adam

Nancy_M, Jul 2023
Really enjoyed biking through San Francisco!!! Adam was a great Tour guide he knows a lot about the city!! Also really nice is that after the tour you have the bikes for the rest of the day. Overall really a must do!!!

Awesome Experience

Monica_M, Jun 2023
What a fantastic experience led by our super-b Guide, Aryn (I am probably misspelling it 🙄). I’ve been to San Francisco a number of times, and taken a number of tours but the SoSF tour and Aryn made this tour one of our most memorable ones. Aryn was extremely knowledgeable and engaging while teaching us so many new snippets of SF history and showing us hidden gem neighborhoods. Thank you!!!

Great way to see SF!

Marc_M, May 2023
Adam was a GREAT guide and was very knowledgeable about everything. He also looked out for us if we missed lights etc. He also modified the trip as we went along to add things or avoid large hills. Definitely would recommend, great way to see the city and with e-bikes the hills were not a problem.

Great fun and learned lots about SF

Maureen_H, Jan 2023
This was really fun and we saw a lot of SF. The e-bikes made it enjoyable, although you still have to be a decent bike rider just to maneuver through traffic. Adam was our guide and very passionate about the city. It would be nicer if they had headphones do he could talk as he rode and everyone in the group could hear. We stopped at several places and he spoke to the group but as we ride only the person closest could hear. Overall though, it was really fun and enjoyable.

Thank you Adam!

Stephanie_T, Jan 2023
Adam was an AMAZING tour guide. He was passionate about his work, knowledgeable about the city, and patient with us. This was our first time visiting and Adam showed us a great time. We got to see so many key features of San Francisco and it was all in the rain!! I 100% recommend this experience and if you get Adam, you're definitely in for a great time. Thank you for welcoming us so warmly to San Francisco.

Great tour guide

Lauren_V, Nov 2022
Our tour guide Adam was so sweet and knowledgeable. He made us have a really great time!! He gave us lots of photo opportunities

Adam is great!

Latange_R, Nov 2022
Adam was a delight as our tour guide. Very insightful and thoughtful stops along the tour. The food truck stop is great, as well. This was my first time ever riding a bike through a city and I really enjoyed it.

Great fun bike ride!

Stephanie_F, Nov 2022
Adam was an awesome travel guide! He clearly takes time to learn accurate information and shares it with great passion and respect for San Francisco!

Fabulous day with Adam!

Emily_T, Nov 2022
Our guide, Adam, brought the city to life with his passion and knowledge. I have traveled to San Francisco several times over two decades, but this is the first time I have truly understood the history and current context. The bonus is that you get to keep the bike(s) after the tour to explore on your own, so we rode across the Golden Gate and back...essentially adding a second tour to our first one. What a bargain! I cannot recommend this company, tour, and Adam highly enough!

Highly recommend

Robert_S, Sep 2022
I only had the weekend in SF while on a business trip and wanted to get an overall feel for the city. The bike tour was a perfect fit, fresh to fight jet lag and feeling close to the local vibe riding through all the neighbourhoods. Adam the tour guide was awesome, knowledgeable and friendly he made the day very enjoyable.

Insightful tour of San Francisco

Tracy_L, Sep 2022
Adam was not only the tour guide he was an ambassador of San Francisco. His passion brought the experience to a higher level. Highly recommend

THANK YOU, ADAM!!!

Kimberly_H, Aug 2022
I booked this tour for four of my friends and me so that we could get an up-close view of the city that we probably wouldn't get on a tour bus. At first, we were all apprehensive about riding bikes on the big hills--both going up (huff puff!) and coming down (yikes!). But, thankfully, the bikes were very easy to control and provided the extra power when needed. Adam--our very informative, passionate, and entertaining tour guide--was the best part of the tour. We learned so much from him and his love for the city is contagious. Shout out to the guide that was in the back making sure that no one got left behind or lost. I highly recommend this tour if you want to explore the city and Adam, of course!

Awesome Adam

Heather_K, Jun 2022
Adam was the perfect blend of knowledge, kindness and passion for the city of San Francisco! He was very thorough, thoughtful and informative. With every stop we made we learned somethings unique about the city. We highly recommend tour.

Biking adventure

Glenda_F, May 2022
This was a fun trip. I would highly recommend the electric bikes. It made it much easier on the hills. We wide back (without guide) and had issues with chain coming off 2 times. I recommend including a tool to help fix chain. Otherwise it was great.
