United StatesProbably the best part of our trip to San Francisco. Beautiful stress free route and lovely company. Definitely would do it again!
United StatesI’m local and I have never seen these backroads. Best 6 hour ride I’ve done in the Bay Area. Highly recommended!! You won’t be disappointed.
IsraelI was looking for things to do in the few days I had to spend in SF, when I came across Native Moto daily tours. It sounded like a unique day experience I can tell about back home and so I called Jen for more details. Apart from being EXTREMELY nice, interesting and fun people, the riding experience itself was AWESOME. I chose to rent a 1200cc Harley Davidson sportster. Jen and Saf gave me a complete sense of safety, having me riding in between their formation. The scenery road was beautiful and we even stopped at some movie-like biker's places along the way, full other Harley's (and sport cars). At parts, I felt like I'm the star of a Hollywood set. Would definitely recommend it to other SF visitors as a different way to tour SF, and will probably contact Native Moto again some day in the future for another trip :)
FranceBeing a moto rider back home, I couldn't imagine exploring San Francisco's backroads in a tour bus. Jen & Saf were super friendly and professional. They helped us rent our bike (a GS1200) and took us around some stunning hills and twisties just 30min outside of town. Most people visiting SF miss out on what's just beyond the Golden Gate bridge. Highly recommend!
