Bike the Golden Gate Bridge and Visit Sonoma Wine Country on a Single Tour!

bike tour san francisco Explore the City at Your Own Pace on a Luxury E-Bike

Riding an e-bike across the Golden Gate Bridge is a favorite San Francisco activity among locals and tourists alike! Whether you cycle through staggering views of the bay, mystical scenery provided by a dense bridge fog, or a little bit of both, biking the bridge is consistently considered a San Francisco must-do. 

Thanks to the motor assist on our Rad Power e-bikes, biking the bridge is as easy as it gets. This self-guided part of the day is a chance to break away from a guided tour without ever breaking a sweat. While crossing the Golden Gate Bridge is the main event, we also recommend exploring the surrounding areas like Fisherman’s Wharf, Aquatic Park, Fort Point, and the Palace of Fine Arts. There is no shortage of lovely breaks and photo opportunities.

If biking isn’t your speed and you would prefer to see the city from a minibus, check out our sister tour, Famous San Francisco City Tour + Wine Country. Whether you opt for a bike or a bus, we’ll all meet up for lunch in Sausalito.

After that, it is off to the wine country on our intimate small-group minibus.
