Our guide was very informative and the e-bikes made the trip both easy and enjoyable. We toured a variety of San Fran neighborhoods, stopping to talk about each. We also stopped at a food truck gathering for lunch--very good! The only downside is that some of the commentary took place while we were riding and only those closest to the guide could hear. Wireless headsets would add greatly.

This private tour option was wonderful. Our guide Aaron was knowledgeable, enthusiastic and fun. We got to see so much more than we ever would on our own. The e-bikes made life easier for those of us in our 50’s! Great tour- thank you.
