The bike ride was so scenic and beautiful!! I used the eBike and it was very doable and enjoyable. The Golden Gate Bridge was foggy (1pm was my time) but it was still amazing… and cold lol!

Straight to the Gate Access: Golden Gate Bay Cruise
Never in my life did I think that I would be able to sit underneath the Golden Gate bridge and look up at it, but we did and it was an awesome experience and to go around Alcatraz and see it from all angles was a wonderful experience and the icing on the cake, was looking at that beautiful San Francisco skyline. The only thing that I wish the bay cruise had is souvenir pictures, I definitely would have bought one. Enjoyed the cruise!
Awesome tour!

Golden Gate Bridge Guided Bicycle or E-Bike Tour from San Francisco to Sausalito
The ride through San Francisco and across the Golden Gate Bridge was incredible. The fog started lifting as we approached the bridge and by the time we got across and down into Sausalito the weather was perfect. Walked around Sausalito for awhile and then hopped a nice ride on the ferry back to San Francisco.
A must do attraction!!!

San Francisco Golden Gate Bridge to Sausalito Guided Bike Tour
Our guide was friendly and fun. I appreciated also that safety talks were emphasized. I rode an electric bike which really came in handy uphill. I am not a seasoned biker and I only caution those who don't -- like a thrill like a speeding roller coaster! -- this may be too much for you. It can be very windy on the bridge. But what an exhilarating time and beautiful views of the bay. Plus a moment to catch your breath in lovely Sausalito.
Enjoyable ride! Great to add on itinerary.

Staff was very pleasant from the boarding dock and onto the boat. Very clean and neat. There are different levels and seating arrangements you can choose. Whether you want to be in doors or out, low or high to get a different view. Enjoyable ride as the speaker educate about the scenery.
Yes, do this early in your trip

When to visit Golden Gate Bridge

The Golden Gate Bridge is striking year-round, but the best time to visit is when there are clear skies and fewer people. Stop by midweek in the early morning or late-afternoon; alternatively, visit on weekend afternoons. Avoid June through August when the infamous San Francisco fog rolls in and blocks the best views both morning and evening.

Where to Find the Best Views of the Golden Gate Bridge

Capture the bridge in its entirety on a coastal walking tour through San Francisco’s Presidio, where you’ll spot beautiful bridge views from vantage points at Crissy Field, Fort Point, and Baker Beach. To snap a photo from the north end of the bridge, choose a tour that crosses the bridge to the Marin Headlands. While Vista Point is the most popular bridge viewing spot in Marin, it can get crowded with cars, so take a short hike toward Battery Point and Slacker Hill for sweeping views of the city.
