Private San Francisco Golden Gate Bridge Bike Tour - 3 Hours
About this activity
San Francisco is famous for its scenic beauty and cultural attractions, with iconic landmarks like the Golden Gate Bridge. A “must-do” while visiting the foggy city is biking the bridge into sunny Sausalito and taking the ferry back to Fisherman’s Wharf.
This guided tour takes about 3 hours, including various stops near essential attractions while our guides provide in-depth narration and stop for photo opportunities at famous sights and hidden gems throughout the tour. The tour begins at our Ghirardelli Square location right at Fisherman’s Wharf and takes you all along Fort Mason, Crissy Field, the Presidio, through the Golden Gate Bridge, and into Sausalito. This beautiful ride gives you stunning views of the bridge – and gives you an unique perspective riding through the Golden City.
