Blazing Saddles helps travelers get some
exercise and take in the sights of San
Francisco and New York City. Groups can
go on guided excursions covering popular
spots such as the Golden Gate Bridge and
Central Park, or rent standard or electric
bikes for self-guided rides in both cities.
One of Seattle’s newest travel companies,
Emerald City Trolley Tours, provides a unique
way for visitors to explore the city. Its two
rides—the scenic Downtown Seattle Trolley
Tour and the Overlook & Locks Trolley
Tour—include narration on neighborhoods
and top sights throughout the city.
