• Expand/Collapse Where is the meeting point?

  This tour meets at 2661 Taylor Street - Tour Destination Center between North Point & Beach Streets.

  The “F Market & Wharves” trolley runs along Market St. Downtown San Francisco, along The Embarcadero and stops at Taylor Street which is one block away from the meeting point.

• Expand/Collapse What is an electric bike?

  These bikes look like traditional two-wheel bicycles, but use a small motor to help power you forward meaning less effort to go farther. They are perfect for a tour like this that covers a lot of ground in a short amount of time. After a brief orientation, you'll be rolling like a pro in no time.

  If you know how to ride a regular bike, you know how to ride an electric bike!
