40 reviewed

The bridge is free to walk, so the tours worth paying for are the ones that add something: a bike across to Sausalito, a catamaran underneath the span, a guide with the history. Ranked below, with prices, how long each takes, and which suit families versus riders who want to cover ground.

“I give this tour 500 stars. The tour itself and the information was a 10/10 experience, especially hearing it from a born and raised local, Brendan. The collection of locations was perfect for a day trip and as a woman traveling solo I felt super safe! Get on this tour you won’t regret it! - On top of that our driver was generous enough to drop me off at my hotel and when I left my phone behind on accident, he turned around his schedule and brought it back.”
