Also taste some good salty cake in Mission St !! We had a lot of fun and I learned many things about San Francisco. Josh and Jake are very cheerful and careful. Enjoy !!

This is one of the best tours I’ve ever done was travelling. Josh our guide was extremely knowledgeable, personal and aware of our safety at all times. The route was well planned, avoiding those hills of San Francisco as promised. It really gave me an insight into this beautiful city and I feel I got to see so much more by being on a bike. I would highly recommend this tourWe had been to SF many times but were pleasantly surprised at how many new discoveries and hidden gems Josh showed us. As a native son of SF, he had lots of great stories and added a lot of color and context to our tour.

Great way to enjoy the city. The starting point in Hayes Valley was a part of San Francisco we were not familiar with but arriving early, it turned out to be a good way to watch the locals enjoying a Saturday morning. Frank was an excellent guide. The tour started well with offers of sun protection, water and restroom facilities. The 3 hour tour required a moderate amount of fitness, but we were questioned on our cycling experience before setting off, so presumably this is adaptable. Clear instruction with regards to safety and signalling. Stopping points were all interesting with lots of opportunities for photographs and discussion. Would highly recommend.Josh did a terrific job of showing us around the various districts of San Francisco. It was a treat to ride past so many areas where San Franciscans were enjoying a sunny Sunday afternoon. We saw disco roller skating, the bongo drummers in Haight, the latte set enjoying expensive hot chocolates,...
Josh did a terrific job of showing us around the various districts of San Francisco. It was a treat to ride past so many areas where San Franciscans were enjoying a sunny Sunday afternoon. We saw disco roller skating, the bongo drummers in Haight, the latte set enjoying expensive hot chocolates, and much more. Josh showed there is much more to SF than the CBD and Union Square, gave some very useful context and history to explain how the neighbourhoods have evolved, and finished with some very helpfu restaurant suggestions.
