Great way to see the city - During out stay in San Francisco we went on a bike tour with Blazing Saddles. The service we received at the bike rental station was great, the people were very helpful and patient when picking out the bikes. The tour itself is a great way to get to know the city and discover places you can visit again later. The rental bikes are electric so the trip through the city with its many hills is made easy and enjoyable.
The tour is guided so on the way you get to learn and discover the history and stories of San Francisco. Our tour guides Marcus and Orla made the tour really special with their detailed stories and information about the sights of the city, they were very friendly and open to questions.
We can definitely recommend taking the Blazing Saddles biking tour through San Francisco for people who want to discover what San Francisco has to offer in a leisurely way, though we do advise caution when biking over the Golden Gate Bridge since winds might be harsh.

Excellent tour of San Francisco and across the bridge - highly recommend - We are a family of four (2 teenage children) and it was our first morning in the USA on a west coast road trip. This tour far exceeded our expectations. The whole team were very organised and efficient. Our guide Orla was funny, knowledgeable and safety conscious. Really great company and it being our first morning in the US she provided such a warm welcome and went above and beyond to provide an excellent tour - we are so grateful for that. A shout out to Marcus too for his help with getting us organised and welcoming us at the finish line.
We were extremely lucky with the weather. The blue skies and sunshine definitely showed the bridge and bay at their best - spectacular. We were part of a very large group of varying abilities - but Orla handled us all skillfully. I wasn't expecting to see so much of San Francisco. There were plenty of opportunities to take incredible shots of the iconic bridge from many angles but it was so breathtaking it was best just to stare. The ride across the bridge itself is epic. An assault on the senses of sights, sounds and sensations. Lots of flexibility to keep the bikes and return them to the shop or leave them in Sausalito. We opted for the latter and enjoyed lunch at Joinery restaurant which was excellent. We got the ferry back. An awesome trip - if you can go then do it.

Fun tour through the city! - Did this tour with my 15 and 20yo sons. Our tour guide was Marcus and we were the only ones in the tour. Marcus was a knowledgeable, professional and safe tour guide. Since we were the only ones in the tour, he did a little bit extra with us. If there was a negative about the whole experience, it would be that there was a little bit more talking about the history of the city than what my boys would have liked. They would have preferred more riding and less talking. Overall, a wonderful experience in a great way to see the city.

Very good tour - We did the bike tour AND the 2nd half of day did Muir Woods. I recommend the first part, largely due to our tour guide Marcus. He is very knowledgeable and made the bike tour very interesting with all the history he provided. Definitely pay extra to have the electric bike. The 2nd part of the package was the bus ride to Muir woods- If I had to do over again I would skip that part and jist visit on my own. The bus ride out there was extremely bumpy (no fault of the bus or the driver) but nonetheless not pleasant.

Biking in Cali ! - A GREAT way to see the city, and to go across the bridge, on a bike, well that was amazing. I was expecting a bit more "biking" and less sightseeing, but I have no complaints - our guide was awesome, and very attentive.

Biking across golden gate hazardous - It wasn’t clear on booking that there would be additional charge for an e-bike as the booking said bike or e-bike rental without differentiating costs. We specified the ages of the people in our party but the vendor told us that we were given special rate because one of our kids was given an adult bike, and that the surcharge for the e-bike was still him giving us a deal. It didn’t feel like a deal when it was already a $430 CDN tour with additional $100 CDN added we didn’t factor in. The guide we had took personal calls we all heard on our tour audio device and he made off coloured comments about passerbys. We also weren’t given enough awareness of how hazardous biking on the Golden Gate Bridge would be. Much of that section was extremely narrow. Although we were told to dismount safely, we weren’t told that once you were on the bridge, there isn’t really a safe way to dismount- that the safest course would be you would be to just keep biking. We were relieved when the tour was finished.
