San Francisco neighbourhood tour, Golden Gate Muir Woods + Sausalito - Loved the whole trip, our guide Per was very imformative and helpful taking photos and giving advice where to eat etc. We had just arrived the day before from England so the tour around SF is a good way to get your bearings. Driving over the Golden Gate Bridge is a Life Experience as is going to Muir Woods. Definitely recommend this trip. 👌

Muir woods was beautiful,... - Muir woods was beautiful, there just wasn't enough time there. Not enough time at Sausalito either. It should have been a 6 hour trip, to give you plenty of time at both locations - they both deserve the time!

Be cautious of travel in San Francisco. - We had a good tour with Chris after a very shaky start. He was knowledgeable about the area, kind to the kids and a careful driver. Beautiful day in the Bay Area. On our first stop at the Palace of Fine Arts we checked with Chris about the safety of our backpacks in the van. After assurances that all was well and would be watched , we exited the van for photo ops. Upon return, glass everywhere from a broken window and 2 backpacks were missing. It took over an hour to clear out the glass , follow AirTags to where stuff was dumped and recover some things. In all about $600 of items were not recovered. Dylan tours apologized and offered a free tour next time we were in SF - like we would ever be back. No compensation for items stolen and no refund for part of the missed tour (at least an hour out of the 6 hour very expensive tour). We proceeded to finish our now very breezy tour for the rest of the time with a very large window missing. Our issue was not with the tour as much as with the lack of consideration from the company. Surely they were insured and / or bonded. Our travel agent reached out to them but did not get much response. Primarily beaware of any travel in San Francisco!!
