Fantastic trip! Great tour through picturesque landscape.
Fantastic way to. See the sights near San Francisco! Our driver made sure we had opportunities to stop at the Golden Gate Bridge park to take pics, provided loads of history about the area, navigated the winding roads to Muir Woods with east, and he was kind and thoughtful to all. Muir Woods was spectacular. Woods cannot describe the beauty. Crossing over the waterways and spending time in beautiful Sausalito was the perfect way to soak up the gorgeous scenery and get a sense of place. We took the ferry back which I highly recommend!! Great trip and worth every penny

Great food, great guide!
Kenric was a wonderful guide! He shared so much about the history and character of the neighborhood, as well as specific establishments. He was entertaining, personable, and was so kind in assisting with wheelchair accessibility. Would definitely book this tour again.

10 out of 10, wonderful experience with Dominica
This was my first food tour, and also my first time booking anything on Viator. The process was simple, Viator website was easy to use and listed all details and what to expect clearly. My tour guide was Dominica with Secret Food Tours and she was so amazing! She really made the experience so much better and she was super knowledgeable about the history of the city and specifically at all of our stops. The food was delicious and I felt it was a good experience through Chinatown and North Beach. My favorite were the dumplings in China town. I would recommend this tour to anyone and I would be glad to book another one again!

Our tour guide (Ro) was...
Our tour guide (Ro) was friendly and fun!! The trip was everything I hoped for and more. He drove us thru San Francisco with stops at beautiful locations and told story after story of what we were seeing. Ro is an expert at what to see, do, and eat in the city. We then crossed the Golden Gate Bridge to Muir Forest - We had plenty of time at each stop to see everything. Nice job!!!

Michael (tour guide) was the Filet Mignon - Unlimited Bikes the Ground Beef
Spent 5 days in San Fracisco and BY FAR the best part of our trip was our E-Bike tour with Michael! We had some issues with the bikes - some minor and some major. So, I would definitely recommend that you inspect your bike and the settings and make sure you do some practice runs up the street. Had to change my bike out 3 times before the tour started. We later found out that my daughter's bike would not go up steep inclines - just shut down. This was confirmed by our tour guide and he told us the light green bikes, which my daughter had, are not very powerful and have issues. So, DO NOT GET THE LIGHT GREEN BIKES! My daughter had to walk her bike up 3 or 4 steep hills and that was the worst. So, the bike rental company should really have to refund part of our payment. Regardless, Michael was amazing and took us all over and gave us all sorts of cool facts about the city. He even raced back and retrieved my daughter's fanny-pack that she left behind at a previous stop. I can't rave enough about Michael. Truly, his service and care and total attention to us to make sure we had a good time by far compensated for the crappy bike the bike rental shop gave my daughter.

Redwood trees are beautiful!!
Ben was our tour guide and he was great. The tour started going through parts of San Francisco that you would normally not see and hear about. Our first stop was the Golden Gate Bridge for a few minutes. Then we took the drive up to Muir Woods. Muir Woods is beautiful and quiet. We went all the way to bridge 4 in about an hour but we are fast walkers and we still were able to stop and take in the beautiful trees and take pictures. We would recommend this tour.

Excellent introduction to a fascinating city, especially for those never having visited.
Dirceu knows the city and its history so well that he drove us to all the neighborhoods without ever backtracking, spoke with relish about the people and places and answered question's accurately. He met us promptly, respected our request to have a lunch break and used the time perfectly. There were 6 of us -- all adults -- and the two rear seats would probably be uncomfortable for those 6ft and over and window views not as spacious as the seats in middle and with driver. This a minor issue for sure. Also, Dirceu pointed out that going early in the day, preferably not on a Sunday, allows for much less traffic and perhaps more opportunities to stop and look around.

Fantastic Tour
Great experience. We enjoyed the Alcatraz tour. This operator saved our vacation because are previous reservation was canceled . The views on the ferry ride are amazing and the audio was so interesting. Definitely something everyone should do while visiting San Francisco.

Great authentic food and murals
Great tour of the Mission district with authentic food and wonderful murals. Jamie, our guide, was a wealth of local knowledge and we had great fun chatting to him. Our group was only 5 people which made the tour a lot of fun full of great information about this area of SF.

San Fran Tour
Thoroughly enjoyed our tour. A big thankyou to our driver who was extremely friendly and knowledgeable and definitely made our trip worthwhile. Covered all of the areas that we wanted to see and had some great photo opportunities. Would definitely book with Dylan’s again. Thanks

Beautiful woods
We really enjoyed this trip. Our guide provided lots of interesting facts about the city and its different areas. It was great to cross the Golden Gate bridge, visit Sausalito and the woods were fascinating. The ride down the steep streets was an added bonus.

A peek at SF North Beach
Eric was very entertaining - knowledgeable of SF/North Beach historical facts. Pointed out areas of interest in this area. As the area to be covered is honestly not that large, plenty of time for good conversation while sampling various foods this neighborhood is noted for.
