Amazing tour and even better guide. - Sully our tour guide was extraordinary. He is a walking encyclopedia of history. We learned so much about San Francisco in a few hours. One, if not the best tours and guides that we have ever experienced. If you take this tour request Sully as you won’t be disappointed. Highly recommend this tour.

Great day in San Francisco with Mark! - Mark was the best! What a great tour guide! He had great personal stories, photos, and music to back up each stop. If you take this tour, you will hit the jackpot with him! And he sent us to an amazing dinner destination afterward. Thanks Mark!

May 2024 San Francisco trip - Pattick was great, knew a-lot trivial information about movies, music, enjoyed it. Only thing I would see need improvement is when sending confirmation tickets, include QR code so you do not have to stand in long lines for confirmation

Great small group tour - book it! - We did the small group tour around San Francisco and out to Muir Woods and Sausalito. Jake was our driver/guide and he was awesome with a great balance of fascinating local insight and knowledge mixed with good humour and consideration for all of the guests on the trip. We got some great recommendations for places to eat in Sausalito and I can thoroughly recommend the burger place. The tours runs well to time and the size is perfect for being able to ask questions and learn plenty.

Great tour! - We loved the tour, great combination of city and nature, Muir Woods are a must! We had only 1 day for sightseeing, so this was perfect match. Sully was an amazing guide, very knowledgeable and gave us some great tips and recommendations - everything was so well thought through, including the music for Sausalito. Our sincere recommendation!

Great Memories Made - My wife and I had an incredible experience with Dylan's Tours. Worth every penny. Our guide Patrick was so knowledgeable and entertaining. The tour never came close to taking a nap. He really kept us engaged and made us a part of the tour. If we ever get back to San Franciso, we will be a repeat customer. Thanks for the great memories.
