Great tour w/friendly guide
Brian is an excellent tour guide! He’s very knowledgeable & personable, plus he has the best snacks! We saw so many things we would’ve missed out on if we were touristing on our own. He also gave great recommendations for places to go which weren’t included on the tour.

Exceptional way to see the city and stay active in the outdoors!
The entire experience from check in to e-bike drop off was a delight. Orla was our guide and I was in a group of nine adults including myself. The Blazing Saddles Staff extremely attentive and professional. The e-bike was solid and it inspired me to invest in one! Orla was attentive, patient and provided terrific insight as we rode up to Sausalito CA.
I decided to ride my e-bike back to home base after grabbing a drink and snack with everyone in Sausalito CA (about 40 ride back). ✨💪🧡

This is an auto narrated...
This is an auto narrated trip. You can get some spectacular views of the Golden Gate and Bay bridges you'd only see off from the bay. The timing of this 1.5 tour was a perfect way to spend some time before heading off to a nice lunch or dinner. It's a great way to break up your day if you're interested in a view of the city by boat. It really put the layout of the city into perspective.

Perfect afternoon
First time sailing and I wanted to enjoy it with my partner and we are so glad we went!!! The crew was very knowledgeable and so chill! The boat was wonderful and very clean. It was a perfect way to spend the afternoon, I highly recommend trying them out .

Lots of whale species seen. Bundle up.
Much to see & eat along pier. Arrive early to find parking. Bring sweater, beanie, mitts, etc. to stay warm, you may get wet when in front of boat lower deck. Our 3:30pm departure time was very cold trip, mid-June. We saw Sperm Whale, Blue Whale, Grey Whale, Fin Whale and dolphins that swim right along boat. First 1-1.5 hours nothing, then all of the sudden there were sightings all around boat. Very cool to see with 7 year old son. Complimtary seasick pills for adults & ginger candy for kids given prior to departure. Several passengers sick once boat stopped for viewing. Crew was nice & very informative on Monterrey Bay Marine life. Total trip 3 hours.

Amazing dolphin sightings...
Amazing dolphin sightings -- three different pods, including some babies even! Lots of dolphins jumping our wake, too cool. Fantastic info from the guides on the boat. Price was more than fair, although boat was pretty crowded and free-for-all seating is kind of a pain. I'd pay extra to have assigned seating.

Thom Is the Bomb
My wife and I go on many ghost tours—not necessarily due to a belief in the paranormal but because it’s usually a great pairing with a more traditional city tour at learning a city’s more complete history. Thom demonstrated a masterclass performance and due diligence at inculcating us all with his dark tales of San Francisco alongside the spirit of renewal and resurgence the city itself lives as a credo. Brilliant orator with a fine set of approaches to all of these stories—this is THE guy to share this local history!

Fantastic!! Can’t wait to go again!!
Fantastic tour from beginning to end. Very knowledgable naturalist and ship hands. They made it very fun and educational. They did an amazing job of keeping us close enough to the whales to really appreciate them and get good photos, without causing them any distress! Can’t wait to do another tour with them!

One of the best
Bryan was a wonderful guide and very knowledgeable. He was helpful with capturing some great photos so I can enjoy the memories for years to come. I was surprised that Bryan also took requests to stop at some of our favorite spots so we could get more of what we love and less of what we weren’t interested in. 5 stars, would definitely recommend!

Do NOT miss this opportunity
The staff were amazingly helpful and kind. I'm not techy. I couldn't get the GPS audio to work. I swung back around to request help. They were extremely apologetic and quickly identified and fixed the issue. The issue was I'm an idiot and didn't know where the volume toggle was located.
I highly recommend the 3 or 4 hour package. It takes you all over the City. It was fun, exciting, and absolutely worth it.

A must tour when visiting the Bay
This tour was amazing and Dave was an amazing tour guide! It wasn't easy considering there was Formula One traffic and crowd that day and Dave made sure we still see a lot of the iconic city views. And the vintage VW 1973 was a delight to ride around the city. The Haight-Ashbury stop was the main highlight and didn't disappoint us. Driving down crooked Lombard Street was a treat! Dave went above and beyond what we were hoping for and even changed our drop-off location so we could catch a great dinner at Fisherman's Wharf! This tour is a must when visiting the bay!

The highlight of our visit to San Francisco!!!
Wonderful experience from the moment we started the tour! Randy was the ultimate tour guide, very informative and personable! He went above and beyond in making sure that our experience was memorable! It will definitely be a highlight of our visit to SF for many years! We will definitely visit the city again and book another tour, hoping with Randy as our guide!
