Best Yosemite Day Tour with our amazing local guide Viktor
This Yosemite day tour was an absolutely unforgettable experience, and we owe so much of that magic to our wonderful guide Viktor. Raised here in Yosemite, he is incredibly knowledgeable, and I thoroughly enjoyed every part of his commentary. He shared so much local insight, spanning landmarks, culture, history, conservation efforts and outdoor recreation. He also generously told us his own personal stories connected to this land, with a great sense of humour. Viktor’s bright, uplifting spirit feels like the very soul of Yosemite. Beyond the breathtaking grand scenery, he helped me grasp the deep spirit of reverence for nature and love of freedom that lives here. This is truly a blessed land. The whole itinerary was perfectly arranged, and our day was filled with laughter. I joined this tour as a solo traveller, and by the end of our trip, everyone in our group had connected and become like family. This is a must-do tour, and I will recommend it to everyone.

3 and 1/2 hours of fun.
I'm 6'0 and it was a tight fit. Very fun though! We did the "Red" route through Golden Gate Park finishing with a very fun ride down Lombard Street. We had no issues with full sized cars on the route. Plenty of extra choices. Also, the system gives you several chances to turn the 3 and a 1/2 tour we did, onto a shorter route. Very good instruction at the Go Cars shop. The Go car was made for the Red route. We would do it again.

Painted Ladies VW Bus tour—Rocks!
Highly recommend this tour! We drove around most of the main parts of San Francisco in a cool VW bus, and got a few photo opps!! Jack, our Driver, was fantastic! Knowledgeable about all things San Francisco, had a great sense of humor, and was fun to be with! Book this tour…..you won’t be sorry!

Great way to see all the best!
We only had a half day in San Francisco at the beginning of a longer trip. We wanted to see as much as possible without the challenge of driving/navigating on our own. This was the perfect solution and we got lucky to have the VW and the guide to ourselves! Cyrus was fantastic and being a lifelong resident with a tiny audience he was able to really “show us the town”!

Napa Valley and Sonoma Town was amazing all the way!
Exploring wine production, varieties of drinks, connect with nature, relishing unique tastes of each winery and choosing few for self, wonderful Italian meal at Della in Sonoma town, wonderful people in the bus and an amazing person driving us a long way with interesting fact-based stories of places and incidents .. plethora of knowledge. In essence, a memorable, cheerful day out with family. Can't ask for more at such an economical price. Go for it!

Tour was informative and glad we went. Justin did a great job. Time frames were tight! Worked but if more people were also visiting Muir Woods st same time, time allotted would not have worked.
Also st Salsalito, not much time. I would recommend but explain to friends.

Great tour!
A great tour with Sully our tour guide today!
Has so much knowledge of the areas we visited and kept us informed all the way round..
The trip covers a huge area, and then onto Muir woods, which are beautiful and then onto the very picturesque Sausalito for lunch..
We also had a little stop at the palace of fine arts which was not on the tour but we had a little time!

Kevin was an Awesome Guide
The Muir Woods tour with the Alcatraz option was great! A lot of walking though! I did 16,000 steps this day so if you’re not much of a walker and mover, I would stick to just Muir Woods in one day. The drive around the city and history lesson guided by Kevin was awesome, he spoke very clearly and made sure everyone cold hear him, led group introductions at the beginning and made trail recommendations for the park. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for an early day trip, you’ll finish around 1:30 pm if you want to spend the evening in Fisherman’s wharf, enjoy a meal, and shop around. Felt safe driving up steep winding roads, all around great experience from Dylan’s Tours.

Randy was awesome
We totally lucked out with Randy as our driver and got a luxury suv instead of a bus too! The guided tour was unbelievable though. We really got to see everything. The pace was slow but not too and there were enough comfort stops. Randy knows and loves his city. He shares history as well as adding local flair and knowledge. The trip could not have been better. Thank you

This was one of the high lists of our trip to San Fran! An hour and a half was just the right amount of time to spend sailing around the bay and taking the sights. The crew was incredible. They were friendly, engaging and passionate about San Francisco area. They took the time to talk with everyone, answer questions, and share their knowledge of the bay. They were wonderful hosts and really made sure everyone had a great time. Highly recommend this experience!

Wonderful Memory
The tour was excellent, narrated history and other details along the way. Excellent overall. Just be aware if you elected ferry return, the Blue and gold ferry is only operating only two trips a day a very restricted schedule. While the other ferry does get you back to SF, it returns to I believe pier 1.

We travelled from NY just to experience SF Bay
We parked in pier 39 parking garage a few hours before our cruise and enjoyed the area. Lots of things for families with pre teen age kiddos to enjoy prior to departure. We boarded our boat and received a wonderful naration of the local area landscape from the bays point of view.

Not seeing something you are looking for?
Of all the San Francisco bus tours, the “love” tours that zip around the city from the Painted Ladies Victorian homes to the Twin Peaks viewpoint in Volkswagen vans might be the most fun. If these offbeat treks are a bit granola for you, other bus tours are convenient for exploring the city and surrounding areas in comfort. Hop-on hop-off bus tours offer ultimate flexibility and freedom, while guided coach tours travel to Muir Woods and even as far as Yosemite National Park and the Monterey and Carmel area.
