OMG! Best tour and money spent during our USA holiday so far. We had Trevor, a 6 generation local with the best and funniest bits of knowledge. We saw everything we wanted to, including Mrs Doubtfire house. My only regret and I feel terrible about it, is that we had no American boys on us to tip Trevor. Im really sorry mate.

This tour was amazing and Trevor was exceptional. He was fun, very personable, and had lots of energy. His knowledge about San Francisco was impressive, as he shared the highlights of the city, such as China Town, Presidio, Pacific Heights, and many more. The viewing point of the Golden Gate Bridge was spectacular and Trevor stopped so we all could get as many photos as we wanted. He was very attuned to what the group wanted to see, was extremely helpful to me as I have mobility issues, and is a top-notch tour guide. This tour, especially with Trevor as your guide, cannot be missed!

Exactly what we wanted! An amazing trip! Exactly what we wanted and Patrick our tour guide was amazing. It’s a short city tour about an hour long, photo stop at Golden Gate Bridge and then onto Muir woods. Beautiful place and 90 minutes was just enough time to do just over an hour of walking (we went to bridge three and back) and then spent some time in the gift shop and cafe. There’s an option to get off in Sausalito on the way back if you want to explore more but we stayed on the shuttle and were taken back to our starting point. Patrick provided lots of great facts, jokes and music along the way. Would highly recommend Dylan’s Tours!

Sit back and relax… Easiest way to see some of the more interesting attractions on limited time without the stress of having to manage on your own. Show up on time and get taken care of the rest of the day! I appreciated being able to sit back and enjoy the experience rather than worrying about navigation, schedule,driving,parking, etc.,. Would recommend the Alcatraz add-on.

Book this tour For this guided tour, you get more than you pay for. Talk about one of the best guided tours I’ve ever been on, this was an excellent experience. We toured the city of San Francisco with Weyland from Dylan Tours and he was very knowledgeable of the city history and culture. I learned so much in 90 minutes. The ride in the van was very comfortable and the van seated about 7 guests. We also stopped along the way for a restroom break. Book this tour if you want an excellent guide that will provide a safe and enjoyable experience.

Excellent way to see San Francisco I believe the tour guide I had for this tour was named Waymond - he was an excellent guide. I especially loved his knowledge of music and local musicians, and that he played songs in each neighbourhood from artists that either lived there or wrote music locally. I loved that it was a small group of only 5 of us too. 100% would recommend this tour to anybody visiting SF!

A bit of an odd structure to this tour, because it was summer we did the Alcatraz tour first, if you are interested in the prison you’ll enjoy the tour. So, you get sent a QR code which is your ticket to the island, and it is all self guided, so the tour was for 9.20, and then the next part of the tour starts at 2pm which is the city and muir woods trip. So you have to entertain yourself until 2pm basically, the trip to muir woods was nice, Jules was an enjoyable driver providing us with lots of interesting facts about the area. We stopped at the museum of fine are for a photo and then on the north side of the golden gate bridge for a photo, then to muir woods park for a walk around for 1.5 hours, and then another drive around the city before being dropped off. So there isn’t really a guided tour besides maybe the drive through the city, really what you are paying for is the transportation to these places and then you need to pay $15 to enter the park. Good trip, bit overpriced.

It was a good tour but a few things to consider. South saulito we thought were were going to be able to get out and tour around the area so that is not what we got. If we knew it was just driving thru for the price we paid it was not worth the money. We should have paid for Muir Woods and Alcatraz only but guide does not stay with u in Alcatraz. So the money you pay really is just to drive to Muir Woods. So that was disappointed . Will I pay again for this I would say no

Great value Our tour guide Per was amazing! He was so knowledgeable and interactive. He was so thorough and made the tour so interesting. The tour covered a little bit of everything that we wanted to see. Great value, especially if you’re limited on time and want to squeeze in as many sites as possible.

Worth the walk! Britt was a very informative and entertaining tour guide today. He and I were the only people on this tour, but I thoroughly enjoyed it and thought that he did a great job of explaining so many interesting facts and trivia about San Francisco. You can tell he was born here and knew a lot of information that I did not know but appreciated! It was a wonderful day- I definitely accomplished my steps for the day at 17,890!!!! Worth the walk!!

Dylan provides a good overview of the most famous San Francisco neighborhoods. Recommended restaurants and places to go even told us about carnival which is going on this weekend. A great guide and he kept us on time!

What an incredible experience! Dylan was our host for the day. The tour and conversation was great! Patrick and Dylan got my husband and I a reservation at the Barrel house on Valentine’s Day in Sausalito. Even after we ran 15 mins behind at Muir Woods ( no fault to our tour guide ) the restaurant was still holding our table because they “ they just knew we were coming” Thank you Dylan and Patrick for such a great day! You are our two favorite people in San Francisco!

The post is inaccurate the host informed me over the phone that the tour is actually 4 hours and that they spend about 15 minutes at each of the locations aside from Muir Woods where you will spend an hour. I was told over the phone that I could cancel because the listing is inaccurate but they stopped replying after. You’re better off going to these locations on your own which is what I did. save your money.

the trip to Muir woods was magical and our guide Jeffrey was fun and knowledgeable. I could have used another hour in the woods just to longer and savor the environment but didn't feel rushed - just left wanting more. I loved the photo stops along the way - easiet way to get a great bridge photo! lunch in Sausalito was fun too. great recommendations and good food.

Great deal and value, our guide was knowledgeable of the city and always willing to take photos. Also he was very accommodating to drop us off at the location close to where we were going after the tour, as long as he was passing it. The only thing that was annoying was waiting for people who were late. It tells you to arrive 20-15 mins before the tour but we still had to wait for 2 people and then wait for people again on each stop, not the driver’s fault, just need to be more strict with time cus it’s not fair for many of us.

Has a great time touring San Francisco, the Muir Woods, and Alcatraz. Our tour guide, Sully, was very informative, funny, and helpful. He made the trip very enjoyable! I highly recommended Dylan’s Tours! Would definitely use them again and try one of the other tours available when we come back!!

Did a tour this weekend that went to Muir Woods, Alcatraz, stopped in Sausalito, and a couple other spots. Was very smooth from pick up to drop off. We landed in the city very early am and debated cancelling the tour but were glad we didn’t. Patrick kept the ride lively as well. Would recommend to anyone traveling to San Francisco.

I went on a tour with Sully and cannot recommend it enough. Sully was extremely knowledgeable and funny. He had so much to tell us about San Francisco. We went to so many places and I feel like the tour covered just enough. The bus was clean and we were offered water and a snack upon the start of the tour. Muir Woods was my favorite part of the trip. I think anyone visiting should book one of the bus tours! You won’t regret it!
