Muir woods

Jeffrey was so GREAT!! He added onto the tour and showed us really cool parts of the city. His vibe was so chill as funny. My ten year old and I had such a good time. Muir Woods was of course beautiful. Also, Jeffrey waited for everyone to arrive and went out of his way to make sure they made it back to the bus. Even gave a couple different drop off locations. Great tour with great, chill, guide.

Operator response

Thank you for the fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear that Jeffrey helped make your Muir Woods experience so memorable. We'll be sure to share your kind words with him, and we hope to welcome you back for another adventure in San Francisco soon!

Your company is THE BEST!

First, our driver Jeffrey was VERY patient waiting for some customers that were tardy while we waited. He was very informative about different aspects of the city that he made interesting and entertaining. He was also very patient with us at all times. My wife and I are a little older and he always made sure we were always taken care of. We will let others know your company, especially Jeffrey are outstanding.

Enjoying John Muir

What a relaxing day in San Francisco. Our driver was the most informative polite enjoyable person to hang with for the morning. He was so informative about San Francisco and the history here. Once you get to John Muir the day of Zen continues while you enjoy the hour or so walk through the forest.

Operator response

Thanks for booking with Dylan’s Tours! Sounds like such a peaceful morning. Glad your guide made the city interesting and Muir Woods gave you that quiet forest time.

Fun, fun, fun! Not only a walk/hike in Muir Woods but a tour of some parts of San Francisco with a music/movie buff as a tour guide - Patrick. And a few stops for pictures.

Operator response

Thanks for booking with Dylan’s Tours! Glad you had a fun day with Patrick. Muir Woods, city stops, and photo ops make a great combo.

Breathtaking and an experience even someone with limited mobility could enjoy

The tour operator knew the area very well and made a few stops along the way to some lovely areas that enticed me to want to vist them later. The time alloted was perfect. The woods are breathtaking and easy for someone with very limited mobility. Most of the paths have wooden walkways and are flat so a wheelchair should also be able to maneuver them easily. The only negative was the tour operator had a sign, but it was small and no other identifying way of locating our guide. He made a point of seeking out the people in our tour, but it would have been helpful to have had something more visible. Aside from that, the tour and the guide were wonderful. I enjoyed the local music to enhance the tour. He also provided snacks and water to keep us hydrated.

Operator response

Thank you for the thoughtful review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the tour, the local music, and the stops along the way. Muir Woods really is breathtaking, and we’re happy to hear the timing worked well and that the paths felt accessible for someone with limited mobility. We also appreciate the feedback about making our guide easier to identify at the meeting point, and we’ll keep that in mind. Next time, book direct through Dylan’s Tours and use promo code LOCAL10 for a discount. Hope to see you again soon!

It’s great to hear you enjoyed Sausalito, the beautiful homes around San Francisco, the Golden Gate Bridge, and having an energetic, passionate guide behind the wheel.

Loved this trip and the tour was perfectly timed, and enjoyable. Thank you -Joe and Cristina
