Additional Information

Be a part of a comical escapade in San Francisco! Strap in for a traditional sidecar journey where you’ll feel like a superhero, wind brushing wildly through your hair. It’s a tandem treat - one individual rollicks in the sidecar feeling like a high-level dignitary, while the other rides pillion, conspiring global rule (or just clicking selfies). We’ll cover all the popular spots! Lombard Street, a place where even vehicles doubt their motoring capabilities. Then off we go, darting through Chinatown where the fortune cookies reply! Brace yourself as we traverse the iconic Golden Gate Bridge, so renowned that even pigeons parade on it. Laugh sprees will be punctuated with pauses at The Painted Ladies, a place where houses are seemingly in a contest of charm. Obviously, no excursion is whole without a ride in the legendary cable car. The hills reverberate with the mirthful shouts of tourists exclaiming ‘Whee!’ Insider tip: Don’t forget to acknowledge your motorist, the comical prodigy at the helm. If you’re not in splits, you probably might be in slumber, and we can’t accommodate that! So, be a part of this hilariously entertaining city tour.

Exclusive San Francisco Discovery: A VIP Experience with Rides By Me - Rides By Me's classic sidecar tour in San Francisco was an exceptional experience, surpassing all expectations. Unlike standard bus or walking tours, this unique mode of transport offered an unparalleled perspective of the city, allowing me to explore more than I thought possible in one day. From the city's vibrant streets to its charming suburbs, every corner of San Francisco was within reach. The flexibility to stop anywhere along the way added an extra layer of spontaneity to the journey. Jerome, my guide, made the experience truly memorable with his wealth of historical insights and impeccable service. As a solo traveler, I appreciated his willingness to capture photos at all locations. Feeling like a VIP throughout the tour, I highly recommend Rides By Me for an immersive and unforgettable exploration of San Francisco.

The Only Way To See The City - An amazing way to see the city with an amazing guide. Went on the sunset tour and saw parts of San Francisco I'd never seen before. If you're going to take a tour of San Francisco, this is the one to take.

BRILLIANT experience, You won’t be disappointed - My husband and I were very much looking forward to this tour of San Francisco and it certainly didn’t disappoint, in fact WOW! It was absolutely brilliant!! Jerome was so lovely, friendly, chatty, funny and knowledgeable he really did make us feel at ease right from the start. We were out for hours and hours and saw every possible sight worth seeing plus an extra surprise stop! He really knows his stuff, he is very accommodating and we had an absolute blast in his double sidecar. This was definitely the highlight of our trip and If we ever find ourselves back in SF we will certainly be booking to go out again. I seriously recommend anyone and everyone to book a tour, you will be so pleased you did and will make unforgettable memories (with lots of photos included!!) Thanks so much Jerome for making our time in SF AMAZING! Really hope we get to see you again someday 🤪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Wonderful experience! - All was great! The views, the guided tour and a wonderful surprise (we were celebrating a special family occasion). They went above and beyond to ensure we had a good time. Also, we loved riding the bikes!. We have a ton of pictures and they also took the time to take some of us. A very nice way to experience the city! We are used to cold weather- but it's still a good idea to wear a windbreaker.

Sidecar tour of San Francisco - We booked our tour for a family of four (2 adults and 2 teens) prior to arriving in SF. Jerome was a brilliant communicator from the start with prompt emails and then WhatsApp’s once we had arrived in California. Our guides, Michael and Jean-Paul, were brilliant and great fun. They took us to places we would never have seen on our own, and told us facts that kept all ages entertained. The sidecars can take you down roads that the tour buses definitely can’t go so I am really glad we decided to go with ridesbyme. Michael is brilliantly funny and had us all in stitches. We had a double sidecar and a single sidecar so we could all move around with being either in the cars or on the back of the bike. We had a problem with the microphone on my helmet (the family really didn’t mind my being unable to speak for part of the journey) but the guys had a spare helmet with them so we just swapped it over. All bases covered. Jerome came to join us for the final part of our ride and it was lovely to meet him. I would definitely recommend these guys to anyone coming to SF. We did the tour on day one so that we could then decide where we wanted to explore further in the remaining time we had.

MUST TRY this sidecar your! - Jérôme was a great host! Very knowledgeable and entertaining and made the tour a blast. My gf said after the tour that she now refuses to travel by any means other than a sidecar! Give it a shot, you won’t regret it.

First time visitor--New sidecar fanatic! - This tour was a blast! Jerome highlighted the best of SF while providing fascinating history and trivia. For a first-time visitor with limited time, the sidecar was absolutely the best way to see the sights. Highly recommend!

Laissez les bon temps rouler in San Francisco! - Laissez le bon temps rouler!!! OIU!! Six days ago, I had the ride and tour of a lifetime with Jerome from Rides By Me Classic Sidecar Tours. I still have a permanent smile on my face. Due to the rainy weather, Jerome contacted me in advance before my arrival in SFO to ensure that I was prepared clothing wise for the ride and to see if I was flexible with my schedule just in case Mother Nature had other plans. Due to his professionalism and my flexibility, it all worked out and I thoroughly enjoyed the City tour, atmospheric river,etc. It was the perfect choice for my solo BornDay trip to San Francisco. The tour was definitely carefully thought out and curated with an itinerary of locations troupled with historical background and little known facts, excellent photo ops (esp. Golden Gate Bridge) and not to mention the breath taking views after safely climbing steep graded hills. I definitely still feel like a Queen. I hope to do a Wine Tour upon my return.

Best way to see SF - This is really the best way to get an overview of SF. We did the tour on our 1st full day there. Jerome takes you through most of the neighborhoods and points out the best places to eat or other areas you may want to see. He stops at all the photo ops and tells you all the history behind it. He is so knowledgeable about the city. It was great because some of the sights are a 1 and done and to do them on a motorcycle is cool - Lombard St. or GG Bridge. I would 100% recommend this tour.
