Ride from Fisherman’s Wharf toward the Golden Gate Bridge and Sausalito, exploring San Francisco’s landmarks at your own pace.

About this tour

Set out from Fisherman’s Wharf and follow your own route toward the Golden Gate Bridge and Sausalito on a San Francisco self-guided bike tour. With a full day to explore, you can pause for waterfront views, cross the bridge, or make time for city landmarks such as Lombard Street, Chinatown, and Haight-Ashbury. The itinerary is yours to shape, so you can ride at a comfortable pace and choose a standard bike or ask about an optional electric-bike upgrade at check-in.

Your rental includes a helmet, lock, map, and roadside assistance along the way. Staff at the Fisherman’s Wharf shop can point you toward the bridge, while the map and flexible schedule leave room for your own discoveries. Food, drinks, and Sausalito ferry tickets are not included; you can ride back to San Francisco if you prefer. Electric-bike rentals require riders to be at least 13, and a full-day battery lasts about 20–25 miles (32–40 km), depending on use.

Choose this San Francisco self-guided bike tour for an independent day among the city’s best-known sights. Pick up your bike, set your pace, and make the ride your own.

How the score works and rating distribution in San Francisco
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 5.0.
