It was such a blast! We sang most of the songs. Laughed a LOT! It was very informative! I didn't want it to end. Tara, our driver was great and made sure we had a great time! Wonderful personality and great energy! We are from the midwest so this was our first visit to San Francisco.

Wonderful way to see San Francisco. Dave was full of great stories and he covered the city so well. We have been to San Francisco before but loved this tour! It is different than a bus tour and was so much more interesting! Don't miss it.

17-Mile Drive Electric Bike Guided Tour

Great Way to See the Coastline
Well worth the time and money. Tour guide, Tom, was personable and knowledgeable. Educated us about local, natural terrain and animals. E-bike was a great way to see the route, which included great scenic ocean views where we could stop for pictures; Pebble Beach golf course (even had a chance to pick up a souvineer ball cap for my husband at the pro shop so didn’t have to find another time to go back there); and riding through some beautiful forested areas. Definitely recommend.

A must do! Book a Slingshot!
We booked the Slingshot for three hours. It was so much fun. We got to see most of San Francisco and you get to go over the Golden Gate Bridge in this vehicle. Worth every penny. It was so well organised!

17-Mile Drive Electric Bike Guided Tour
katietessin, Sep 2026
Great Views
We had a great bike tour of the 17-mile drive. The tour lasted about 2.5 hours, which was a perfect length. Our guide, Jon, brought us to a number of picturesque spots throughout Pebble Beach and Carmel. He had a lot of insight and information at each of our stops. We did get about 20 minutes of free time to walk around the Pebble Beach golf course as well (bathrooms were available here). The roads were relatively uncrowded, and there was only one car that made us nervous biking with. The bikes were different than we were used to, but not necessarily hard to operate. The meeting place was easy to find- just look for parking outside the 2-hour limit zones. This was a great way to explore the area, and I'd definitely recommend it to anyone in the area.
