Dan Fran city tour!

It really made navigating the city much easier. We would not have been able to see this much on our own. Also not having to drive was great! Jules was a great tour guide- friendly, knowledgeable, enthusiastic.

We took several tours...

We took several tours while in San Francisco on vacation and this tour was one of the best! Barry was an excellent driver and very knowledgeable about the area, especially Muir Woods which was my favorite part of the day and we never felt rushed! While at Muir Woods, Barry made sure that everyone learned about the area and got the perfect pictures to remember the trip! We also drove through the Presidio area, which I did not expect, but I’m so glad that we did. At the end of the day we took the trip to Alcatraz, which we all enjoyed and learned a lot about its history. Overall, we really enjoyed the day very much and would recommend it to everyone!

Operator response

It sounds like Barry really helped make the day special! We're so glad you enjoyed Muir Woods, Alcatraz, and even the unexpected drive through the Presidio. Thanks for spending the day with Dylan's Tours we'd love to see you again!

The excursion was...

The excursion was spectacular. The guide Jeffrey was dynamic, fun, and showed a great deal of knowledge about the city of San Francisco and the points of interest we visited. Muir Woods is magical, and the excursion to Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge was extremely fun. Without a doubt, I would recommend this excursion.
