Muir Woods is amazing! - I did the 8am tour to Muir Woods that stopped in Sausalito. I’m so happy I got to see Muir Woods, it is really awe inspiring. It was nice to see it with the tour too and not have to worry about makes a reservation there.
We promptly left at 8am. And the tour shop does have a small bathroom which is nice to use before you leave. Barry was a great tour guide, he loved taking pictures of everyone and knows a lot about San Francisco. We got out of the bus twice to take pictures on the way to Muir Woods. They were great picture stops and we head nice weather to pose in front of Golden Gate Bridge. Even though I’ve been to SF 5 times I still loved this tour.
I’ve been to Sausalito before and could have skipped that, there is not much to do in that town besides eat something and look at the bay.
Muir Woods is the real gem. We had only 1 hour and 15 min to explore on our own. I was alone so I walked fast and think I got to see more than most in that time. I would have liked more time there.
You can add on Alcatraz and the bus drops you off there, or he can drop you at fisherman’s wharf or back at the tour shop.
Highly suggest this tour company! Very friendly, on time and knowledgeable!

Roger was the best tour... - Roger was the best tour guide!! Very knowledgeable about San Francisco, offered to take photos of everyone, recommended different activities, and was even kind enough to drop everyone off where it was most convenient for them. Muir Woods was also gorgeous, however if you want to attempt long hikes (we didn’t), I wouldn’t recommend a half day tour as there isn’t enough time. My family and I had such a blast, we highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to explore the best of San Francisco and Muir Woods!

Muir Woods and San Francisco history tour - Our guide Sully, was very entertaining and knowledgeable in the history of San Francisco. We thought it was simply a shuttle service to Muir Woods but turned out to be so much more.

Great, well organized tour company! - We came to San Francisco without a rental car and knew we wanted to do some sightseeing, so we booked with Dylan’s Tours — and they were fantastic! Huge shoutout to our super chill driver, Jules. We did the trip out to Muir Woods and enjoyed every moment.
I had every confidence front the time I booked that this was going to be awesome. I received follow up texts that even included the best route from our hotel to their tour office!! SO helpful!
A quick tip: your driver will give you a time frame to meet back at each stop. Set a timer and be mindful — it keeps things smooth for the whole group. I won’t go into details, but trust me, staying on schedule makes the experience better for everyone.
Overall, I really appreciate that their group sizes are small and you’re not packed onto a huge bus. If you’re looking to make the most of your time in SF, this tour company has you covered.

Great day trip! - This was a great tour! Our tour guide was funny, knowledgeable, and cool. It was a beautiful way to spend an afternoon. Left at 8am and was back at the shop at exactly 2pm. I recommend the 8am as traffic was light and the views foggy and lovely

Highly Recommend! - We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Muir Woods with Dylan's Tours! It was fun and entertaining, and we really loved all the chocolate for knowing SF and music trivia. Muir Woods is stunning, and this is a great way to see it without the hassle of driving yourself. Five gold stars for awesome views of the Golden Gate bridge and lunch in Sausalito!

This solo millennial traveler had a ball! - Don’t think—BOOK! This experience was more than I anticipated and was a great way to access Muir Woods! The driver was extremely accommodating to me as a solo traveler from the time of pick-up to lunch (I was running a few minutes late, and he was kind enough to meet me along the way.) The driver was very knowledgeable about areas within SF. Although he provided info throughout the trip, the driver also gave us a break and time to enjoy the ride. Sausalito was charming too—plenty to see, eat, and drink! I only wish the visit to the park and Sausalito were 30 minutes longer! Otherwise 10s across the board! Thank you for adding joy to my birthday!
