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!!
Thanks for booking with Dylan’s Tours! Britt really knows San Francisco, and we’re glad you enjoyed the day with him. 17,890 steps is impressive. Definitely earned after a city walk like that.
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.
Thanks for booking with Dylan’s Tours! Per is a great guide, and we’re glad the tour gave you such a good mix of San Francisco in one day. Thanks for the kind words.

Awesome tour! We had a terrific time
This tour was a great way to see most of the major San Francisco sites plus spending some time in Muir Woods and lunch in Sausalito in 6.5 hours. Our tour guide Per(pronounced Pear) was very knowledgeable, informative and entertaining! This was an excellent way to scope out the city to decide where you may want to spend more time later. We highly recommend!
Thank you for the wonderful review! We’re so glad the tour gave you a great overview of San Francisco, Muir Woods, and Sausalito all in one day. Per will love hearing that you found him knowledgeable, informative, and entertaining. It really is a great way to see the major sights and figure out where you may want to spend more time later. We truly appreciate the recommendation and hope to see you again soon!
We would highly recommend Dylan’s Tours. Our tour guide was Barry and he was excellent. He was incredibly knowledgeable of the city and made it a great day for our family. We highly recommend this tour!
Thanks for booking with Dylan’s Tours! Barry is excellent, and we’re glad he helped make it a great day for your family. We really appreciate the recommendation.
The critical review can be had by my wife who had not been to SF before. She was genuinely thrilled by SF sights and sounds during the full day tour. And like me she was all smiles among the giant redwood trees some of which are estimated at up to 1100 years old. Muir Woods, a redwood tree forest, is just a short drive over the majestic Golden Gate Bridge. Muir Woods is my go to first stop - worldwide. And SF is my favorite American city. The tour was worth the cost. And to be clear I have not been to Alcatraz Island. Alcatraz was closed the day of our tour.
Thanks so much for booking direct with Dylan’s Tours! We’re so glad to hear your wife was able to experience San Francisco for the first time and truly enjoy the sights, sounds, and beauty of the city. Muir Woods is such a special place, and we love hearing that the giant redwoods were a highlight for both of you. Crossing the Golden Gate Bridge and spending time among those incredible trees really is one of the best ways to experience the Bay Area. We’re also sorry Alcatraz was closed on the day of your tour. We appreciate you still recognizing the value of the experience, and if you ever come back to San Francisco, feel free to book direct and use promo code Local10. We hope to see you again soon!
Tyler was an excellent guide and driver. He provided good information without going overboard. He also encouraged discussion with all of us. We saw a lot and have a nice impression of San Francisco. Thanks Tyler!!
Thanks for booking with Dylan’s Tours! We’re so glad you had a great day with Tyler. Happy to hear he kept the tour informative, engaging, and welcoming for everyone. Thanks again for touring with us and hope to see you again soon!
Patrick was great with local knowledge and a great game of guess that rock song on the way back
Thanks for booking with Dylan’s Tours! Patrick knows his stuff, and the rock song game is always a fun way to end the day. Glad you enjoyed the tour.
Jake is an awesome tour guide! We did run into a rude tour driver when we were lost and tried to get him to open his door or at least give us directions. When he finally opened his door a crack, he was VERY rude. He was on the wine tour -- definitely NOT taking that tour!
Thanks for booking with Dylan’s Tours! We’re so glad you had a great time with Jake and enjoyed the tour with him. We’re sorry to hear about the interaction you experienced while trying to get directions, as that’s not the experience we want guests to have. We truly appreciate the feedback and are happy Jake helped make the rest of your day enjoyable. Thanks again for touring with us!
