Excellent full day tour to Yosemite
My husband and I took this full day tour to Yosemite from San Francisco on a whim. Very convenient to be picked up/ dropped off at our hotel. Transportation was one of those luxury sprinter vans and the group size was good that it wasn’t more than 15 people. Our guide Trevor was amazing! He is so knowledgeable about everything and told us about the town we passed through the Central Valley Yosemite, fun facts about the climbers. It was amazing we learned a lot. Ample time to snake pit stop for bathroom, snacks, lunch. The timing is long but we were prepared it was going to be a long day. Recommend buying lunch at the first stop instead of eating the food in the cantina at Yosemite to save yourself time to explore more. There’s a couple videos Trevor played on the way going and back to pass the time by which were informative about Yosemite and Rock climbing. It’s a beautiful place we would go on a tour with the company again and if you’re in San Fran definitely recommend Trevor as a guide!!

Right choice for us
Its a great tour with a knowledgeable guide, Brian, who added more than the usual facts of the places. It was nice to be in a small group and comfortable ride. My mom and I enjoyed it. It was the right pace for my elderly mom and with the van, it was easily accessible and less walking.

Great way to visit if you have limited time
It is quite a long way to get to Yosemite…about a 5 hour drive hence the length of day, but if you have limited time in the area & want to do Yosemite, it’s a good way to do it. Comfortable coach, knowledgeable & friendly driver and you get two short stop offs for photos before 2 hours to walk around the main area in Yosemite. Frequent stops for food/bathroom breaks.

Would HIGHLY recommend.
Had a great time, Clay was fantastic, he was full of info, and keep us laughing and on our toes, while pointing out various sights and points of interest. Provided us with a water and light snack. He could answer almost any question tossed at him. Would HIGHLY recommend.

Beautiful, easy, fun!
This tour was exactly what I was looking for! We left at 2:10 promptly, got a lovely intro by our guide Johanna, stopped for photos of the Golden Gate Bridge and bay, then arrived at Muir Woods. It was breathtakingly beautiful and so peaceful. We then spent an hour in Sausalito, which was great for photos, ice cream/food, and souvenirs from local artists. We arrived back at the Pier by 6. A perfect little afternoon to see nature and the surrounding areas!

Would do again
Wonderful experience. Brendon was funny, had a dry humor, and extremely informative., a native to SF. Sausalito was very charming on the waterfront and the Redwoods in Muir Woods were amazing. Eat at Spinnakers and tell them you're on the tour. They'll seat you immediately.

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.

What a fun tour. It had a well planned out route, and we saw so much of the city. Our guide was informative and entertaining throughout. The 60's theme was especially interesting and fun.
Our only complaint was that we missed our first scheduled tour by literally 5 minutes. The van was pulling away as we drove up looking for parking. We tried calling both the tour company and Viator to say we were there but couldn't get ahold of anyone.
Wished we would have received a call to check on our status.
When we were finally able to reach Viator were
were told if we wanted to join a later tour we'd need to pay again.
We ended up for the tour the following morning and paying again. A bummer, but still a really fun tour.

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.

Girls Trip
My girlfriends and I had a great experience. It was misty in the city but once we got into the valley it gorgeous weather. Each vineyard and winery were special in their own way. Our last winery was at Madonna Estate Winery which was beautiful, warm and inviting. The size of our group and the smaller size tasting room felt claustrophobic. Otherwise an amazing experience and the perfect way to kick off the vacation!

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.
