Adventure Tour in San Francisco, California: Heart of the City Bike Tour

I was born and raised in San Francisco and after years of traveling I realized home is where I want to be. I love this city, and I love showing it off.

You like bikes. You like San Francisco. But the thought of taking a well-worn route through the city with a million other tourists doesn't quite appeal to you. Well, you’re in luck. SoSF's bike tour will have you seeing the city through the knowledgeable, hill-avoiding eyes of a local.

Schedule varies .. contact us for updated schedule. Be sure to arrive 15 minutes early to take care of paperwork and bike fitting.

You'll see Golden Gate Park, funky street art, Victorian architecture, and a historic route created by the city’s founding missionaries. And since San Francisco is a foodie town, you’ll stop for some local delicacies along the way.

Biking is a lovely way to experience the city as SF is an extremely bike friendly place. Moreover, the SoSf guide(BB) was extremely passionate and knowledgeable about the city. Even if you don't bike on a regular basis, this tour will suit you just fine as it is not very vigorous exercise and you do a fair amount of "wiggling"(avoiding inclines). I would advise doing this tour in the beginning of your visit since you cover a lot of territory and may discover places you might want to return to.

I took this bike tour a while back and it was the perfect way to spend a Saturday afternoon. We took the much less touristy route but still got to see some significant San Francisco landmarks. Even though I live in the city, I learned some new facts about SF and really enjoyed myself.

I'm a bit biased because I love biking so much I used to lead bike tours of my own...but the SoSF bike tour I took reinforced my conviction that bikes are the best way to explore. I live in San Francisco, but learned tons about the hidden history of spots I've never glanced twice at, and found out about hidden gems I never knew existed. Tim and Daniel were fantastic guides. Highly recommended.

Myself and 2 friends recently completed this bike tour. When booking the tour, we all thought it would be a bit of a laugh, seen as we haven't (or I hadn't) ridden a bike since I was a kid!. This tour was the best, you went to some of the more popular areas of SFO, but the best part was the hidden secrets, areas that you wouldn't normally see as a tourist! Dan is an amazing tour guide who has a intimate knowledge and understanding of the local area. I would definitely recommended this tour to everyone heading to SFO.

This is a must experience when you are new to San Francisco. Beebe, who was leading our tour, was a pro and such a lovely person to hang out with for a couple of hours. She maneuvered us safely through the city and showed us some wonderful corners that certainly none of the double deckers or mainstream tours would have gone (e.g. passing by the leather fetish festival added to the flair). Beebe was extremely knowledgable (I like to ask a lot of questions!) and she was well prepared (tools, spare tires, even some snacks for the extremely needy ones). For those that like 'local', this is it.
