Orla was a great guide - Orla was an excellent guide and was really very knowledgeable and helpful, offering to take photos for the group and giving extra information and even helped us to find a viewing spot above the bridge on our return from Sausalito, as we were riding back to SF across the bridge.
The ambles made the whole journey almost effortless and I would recommend this trip to anyone.

A MUST for tourists in San Francisco! - This was an amazing experience! I would rate myself beginner-intermediate in bicycle riding (I'm 42 years old, a little short (5'3") and a tiny bit uncertain about balance) whereas my husband is expert-level. There were a few moments that required me to concentrate in order to avoid running any children over or scratching any cars, but I would 10/10 recommend! The memories it created for me and my husband could not have been discovered without this guided tour! Eli, our guide, brought San Fran's history to life, and gave us visitors a much fuller appreciation of not only what meets the eye, but how it all came to be! Eli was friendly, patient, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to spend these hours with! He always gave us a heads up if we were going to be going in areas without a bike lane, or if we had to shift gears for hills. In our opinion, this tour is a MUST for tourists in San Francisco!

Go with the electric... - Go with the electric bike. As someone from Illinois the idea of hills isn't part of my riding vocabulary. The E bike will make going up and down hills much less difficult.

Fun E-biking Over the Golden Gate! - Ely was a fabulous guide for our e-bike tour across the Golden Gate Bridge and into Sausalito. We were all on e-bikes, so we had time to make an extra stop where the views were simply amazing! This was a spur-of-the-moment, last-minute booking for us and definitely a highlight of our trip. You can't go wrong with Blazing Saddles and especially Ely! His enthusiasm for every spot and the detailed information as we rode were fantastic. Thanks Blazing Saddles, we'll be back next time we visit San Fran!

An Awesome San Francisco Adventure - Marcus and Reed took us on an e-bike trip to remember. Marcus was an incredible fun and knowledgeable tour guide giving tons of historical information which was a treat for our family. He is a fantastic story teller! Reed was in the back helping anyone who had any trouble (me included). They were fantastic. The trip had stunning views with an awesome trip across the Golden Gate Bridge. We had ample chances for photography and visits to fun places like the Industrial Light and Magic (founded by George Lucas) in Presidio and the Palace of Fine Arts. Thanks Blazing Saddles for a terrific day!
