Exploring a new city can be hard. Sometimes, you don’t know where to start. There are a few great tour options available in San Francisco that make it easier to discover the best of the city. Whether you prefer a guided tour or to explore at your own pace, there is something exciting for everyone:

  1. Bay City Bikes- Explore the city by bike! Beginning from any of the Fisherman Wharf locations, you will be provided with a current year model bike, helmet, handlebar bag, a map and instructions for your route. Just tell the staff how many miles you’d prefer to ride and the places that you wish to see and one of the staff members will suggest a great route for you. Here is one example of a route: From Fisherman’s Wharf, you can journey along the coast and spot sea lions and dolphins, see San Francisco’s most elegant neighbourhoods before you make your way on to the Golden Gate Bridge. From Sausalito, you can catch a ferry back with your bike.
