Not a fan! Book a differ tour
dorshawilson91
, Feb 2022
Tour guide was a little obnoxious and kept leaving the group. I understand people didn’t want to rent e bikes but the tour guide didn’t care and left us behind. I wasn’t a fan of the tour. The scenery was beautiful but once we got to Sausalito the tour guide dropped us off at last stop and didn’t say anything else. He left on his bike and didn’t advise us the time of the ferry departures. Overall I wouldn’t recommend this tour. And for 100.00 it definitely wasn’t worth it. It felt rushed and not well put together.

I loved this tour so much. My fiancé and I truly enjoyed, especially with our tour guide CJ. He was very informative, cool and gave us some great places to check out to eat. We were able to experience San Francisco in a whole different way and was able to see a lot of San Francisco with e-bikes. Really recommend an e-bike, will make your trip so much easier. Thank you.

Annoying guide
Frances_M

Guide was super annoying. A combination of snarky and not funny. The five people on our tour agreed on one thing- never take another ride with Banji. Saulsalito was beautifu and we elected to dump the annoying guide.

Hey Philly Girl, I'm so sorry to hear you were disappointed in your tour with Benji. I'm surprised to hear this as you can tell from our other reviews that our guided tours are usually the highlight of our guests' visit to San Francisco. I have addressed this and would love to have you come back and visit us again so we can make up for this experience. ~Jeff

CJ was an informative and passionate tour guide. The eBikes made this trip a breeze for these 55+ yr olds. It was exciting to bike across the Golden Gate Bridge despite Karl the fog making himself known. Lunch in Saulsolito was relaxing and the ferry back was a perfect end to the trip!

Intermediate Bike Tour (Hills are Real)
Julie_S
, Jul 2021
CJ was great. He warned us about the hills, and made sure that everyone knew they should go at their own pace. This is an intermediate level biking tour with three steep hills, and with the two way traffic on the bridge, and the headwinds on the Sausalito side, there were some tough moments, but CJ encouraged us at each step of the way. I enjoyed the complimentary bike parking and beer at The Joinery in Sausalito. We were treated very well. Funny thing: CJ kept apologizing about the fog. We knew he didn't cause it. ;)

A Must Do in San Fran. I was with my son who is 20 and my sister and we all had a blast. Loved hearing about the history of the city and riding over the Golden Gate Bridge. We chose to ride back from Sausalito instead of taking the ferry or ubering and it did put us out of our comfort zone but so glad we did it.

Wow! What an experience for this old fat guy from Texas! I was very hesitant about riding an electric bike on a 16 mile round trip over the Golden Gate Bridge! The Blazing Saddles employees were very helpful on getting us lined up with the bikes and safety helmets. John, our tour guide, was excellent. The ride by the shoreline and over the Golden Gate Bridge was a once in a lifetime experience fir all three of us! Worth the time and the expense. 👍👍

Riding the bikes over the bridge was amazing. It was a bit challenging going with a large group because several were new to bike riding which held us up a little. However we had a great guide who did a great job. I did not read anything in the information provided that we would be paying a 500 deposit when we arrived. I didn't bring a card with me for the ride however it friend did and it saved us. Just make sure you are prepared.

This was an amazing tour. The electric bikes are a must for a great experience. Our tour guide Jeremiah was awesome and very helpful. If you are booking during and post Covid ask questions.
