The Original City Loop Electric Bike Tour of San Francisco was hands-down one of the best experiences we've ever had in SF. What a fabulous way to see the city! And owner/guide Dylan, while "not our savior" (take the tour and you'll get the joke) is a blast to ride the hills, the parks, and through some of the most iconic neighborhoods in the world with. If you love SF (and we do!), and want to know her more intimately, or you're new to the city and you really want to have a truly memorable experience, this tour is the way to go. P.S. While bike rentals are ubiquitous in SF (and every city in the US), I cannot imagine fumbling with a map on a rental bike could give you anywhere near the fun and adventure that this 4-hour tour with Dylan gave us. We couldn't have covered half the ground on our own, or have discovered so many of the special spots Dylan took us to. .P8068PMdavidp

If you do nothing else while you are in S.F., do this e-bike Cook’s tour. The bikes are mega-fun, easy and safe, and our tour guide, Zach, was best in class. We covered a lot of territory, and it was a glorious way to spend the better part of a day. All of us gave it a “10”.
