5/5 Stars – An Absolute Must-Do in SF (Especially with Teens!)

5.00If you are looking for an unforgettable way to experience San Francisco, you absolutely have to book this e-bike ride. My 18-year-old son, hubby an I took the tour, and it was hands-down one of the highlights of our time here! Bill was our guide, and he was fantastic! just a very nice, sweet guy who took us right along on a wonderful, personal ride. He made the entire experience seamless and incredibly fun from start to finish. The highlight for my son was riding the e-bikes and driving across the Golden Gate Bridge. He absolutely loved it. The views were breathtaking, and the e-bikes made navigating the route effortless and exciting. It can sometimes be tough to find activities that fully engage teenagers, but this was a massive hit. He really, really liked it! I am so thankful for this trip and the memories we made. Thank you, Bill, for being the best guide we could have asked for! I recommend this 100% to anyone visiting the city.
Great experience

4.00Pretty fun, definitely go with electric bikes unless you're an experienced biker. There are some steeper uphill portions. It's very windy on the bridge, or it can be! It adds to the chill and can feel quite cold, even in middle of summer, layers are important. The electric bikes allow you to pedal as much or as little as you want. My bike had very squeaky brakes though which was not great. I also wish we got more information from the tour guide overall, felt a little rushed at times. If you want info it might be better to go with an app/headphone/GPS experience I think. But the guide helps you navigate so there's no question where to go.
Excellent tour Highly recommend the E bikes

5.00The tour was excellent and I would highly recommend this. Our tour guide Orla was extremely helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. She made everyone feel included and went above and beyond in making our tour interesting.. I would highly recommend the E bikes. Orla was helpful as I had never been on a E bike before and gave me the confidence to then go on and have the bike for the rest of the day. (Included in price of tour) Given that San Francisco has many hills having the E bike made the whole day enjoyable and meant we could enjoy more of the city. We saw many people struggle with manual bikes so we were so glad the had the E bike.
An Unforgettable Way to Experience San Francisco

5.00Our recent guided bicycle tour with Blazing Saddles Bike Rentals & Tours was one of the highlights of our trip to San Francisco! The views were absolutely breathtaking, and there is something incredibly special about seeing the city and the Golden Gate Bridge up close from a bike. Being able to bypass the traffic and experience the iconic sights at a slower pace made it, in our opinion, the best way to explore San Francisco. Many people opt for the earlier tours, but we chose the 2:00 p.m. departure, and it turned out to be an unexpected blessing. It ended up being a private tour with just Reid our guide, my husband, and I. Having such a personalized experience made the afternoon feel even more special and memorable. Reid was fantastic! He was friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about the city. He shared interesting history and local insights while making sure we were comfortable and enjoying every moment. From the waterfront to the breathtaking views of the Golden Gate Bridge, every stop felt picture-perfect. If you’re visiting San Francisco and want a unique experience that lets you truly appreciate the beauty and character of the city, I highly recommend a guided tour with Blazing Saddles. It was an unforgettable experience and one we will be talking about for years to come! 🚴♀️❤️

5.00A wonderful 3 hour tour. Our guide Marcus was entertaining and knowledgeable. We started down at the harbour and ended in Sausalito. I rented the electric bike and would recommend it because of the hills. You’re allowed to keep the bike after the tour and explore on your own. Highly recommended!
Great experience!!

5.00We chose Blazing Saddles for our bike tour, because they had a bike for a "plus one" for the one person in our group who doesn't know how to ride a bike. Our tour guide, Marcos, did a fantastic job with the tour! He tailored it to what we wanted and was very enthusiastic when sharing the history of SF. And our other guide, Tolya, was wonderful as well! He worked very hard to keep the whole group safe and was the driver for our "plus one." We loved our lunch at The Joinery that the bike company recommended to us while in Sausalito. We are a group of two adults and three teens. We were able to get some great photos on the tour, and the guides were happy to take pictures of our group for us. We highly recommend Blazing Saddles and would use again!
