2.Exclusive Bike, Beer, and Boat Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 44 reviews · 3 hours · from $99

Start at Aquatic Park with a bike fitting and safety briefing, then ride with an English-speaking guide through Fort Mason, the Marina, the Presidio, and across the Golden Gate Bridge. Continue downhill to Sausalito, use your $20 food voucher, and return by ferry or keep the bike all day.

“I can’t say enough about how fantastic this tour was! As a solo traveller, this tour was great because of the balance between interactivity and ability to go at your own pace. The tour guide, Marcus (and his wife, Orla) were incredibly knowledgeable and even helped me plan the rest of my trip in SF. The biking can be a bit daunting for those not used to hills, like myself (make sure to request an e-bike!) but was still doable on a standard bike.”
