The Castro is full of rich LGBTQIA+ history. It comes alive in the afternoon and evening but if you want a less distracting experience the earlier tour will work for you. Our guide, Kathy was very thoughtful and invested in the community so her insights were very real.

Entertaining Tour of San Francisco
Fantastic tourbof San Francisco in a 1970s era VW bug. Chad was very knowledgeable and friendly, and gave us a wonderful tour of the city. He was always happy to take pictures, and shared not just the history of the city butbalao his memories as a native.

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). ✨💪🧡

Super cool experience. I wouldn't recommend standing on the front of the ferry as we got splashed by a big wave and we're soaked. The gift shop is priced very fairly. The audio tour is a must. The entire experience is a must and achievable on a budget.

Brilliant tour, absolutely loved it.
Fantastic tour! Absolutely loved it. Wylie, our guide, was great, really entertaining and had lots of knowledge and fun facts about the city and the films and TV shows that were filmed there, we even had a bonus location at the end for one party who were fans of a certain show. Three hours felt like 20min! Would definitely recommend for anyone considering this. Really enjoyed it.

San Fran Tour
Thoroughly enjoyed our tour. A big thankyou to our driver who was extremely friendly and knowledgeable and definitely made our trip worthwhile. Covered all of the areas that we wanted to see and had some great photo opportunities. Would definitely book with Dylan’s again. Thanks

Nice staff, good package deal
We bought these tickets because all others to Alcatraz were sold out and we wanted to ensure we get to see it before leaving San Fran so this was a good option for us. We did not make use of the bikes because I'm pregnant, but if I weren't this would be such a nice day to spend your time out in the city. It was easy to get ahold of the tickets, I called them and everything was sorted within minutes. Very nice, helpful staff. Thank you.

The Blue Painted Lady House Tour is a Must-Do
This tour is educational and entertaining. It is much more than just a chance to see inside a historic and iconic home, it’s a bit of a history lesson of the area, the city, and of course the house. It’s entertaining because the host and homeowner, George, is a delight. He is engaging and welcoming, and has some amazing family stories. He was very friendly and gracious in sharing his home. I highly recommend booking this tour.

San Francisco Ghost Tour
I insisted on a ghost tour on my recent trip to San Francisco and Christian Cagigal’s tour was nothing short of amazing. We met in front of The Healing Center underneath a set of impressive eucalyptus trees. Christian is a self-admitted septic and amazing historian. With a sense of humor and while remaining neutral he led us to several spots of purported haunting sadness. I was impressed with the histories of amazing pioneer women of San Francisco. There was definitely a feeling of eerie anticipation in the areas we stopped at, and Christian even related accounts and anecdotes from members of the communities , both far and in recent times. I left with my curiosity piqued. And I received a set of reference materials to further my education. This hour and a half tour is perfect for you if you are interested in a knowledgeable and easy to follow tour guide, a pleasant evening walk and the histories and mysteries of this culture-rich city. I highly recommend and would visit other events led by Christian . The hills are alive !

Super cool/ informative
My mother, kids and I never knew this existed so once I saw it pop up for places to explore in SF I HAD to go! It's very informative with super cool originals of things Walt did/ wrote/ created. My fav part was that it's in an old Army barracks because it gives more history and they're really nice buildings in a great location. Parking was also very affordable compared to other parking lots. Everyone in my family loved it as well even my younger kids:)

Amazing Redwoods!
Very easy to book and the trip started right on time. Lester was a funny and knowledgeable guide! Muir Woods was amazing; I could have stayed there 3 hrs vs the 1.5 hrs allotted. Only issue I had is with motion sickness on the bus ride. No fault of the tour company, but warning to others who suffer from motion sickness to prepare properly. Learning about Marin County and Sausalito was nice, but not a place I’d want to visit again. Crossing the Golden Gate bridge was a treat! Overall, one of the better tours!

Not seeing something you are looking for?
San Francisco packs a ton of consequential history in its relatively young 250-or-so years. Historical tours in San Francisco are the best way to hear engaging stories about the City by the Bay's rich, layered past, from the immigration waves of the 19th and 20th centuries to Gilded Age scandals and the counterculture and Civil Rights movements. Since many of these tours explore SF's historically ethnic neighborhoods, the fun history lessons are often paired with food tastings.
