Amazing sightseeing tour with Dylan. His stories about growing up in San Francisco and local knowledge was great and had nice couple of local San Francisco stops before Muir Woods. Perfect amount of time to see the Muir Woods and the opportunity to stay in Sausalito was great. The ferry from Sausalito back is easy and gives you chance to see Alcatraz Island and Golden Gate Bridge as well.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Dylan’s local stories and firsthand perspective really add something special to the ride, and we’re glad the timing at Muir Woods and the option to stay in Sausalito worked so well for your day. The ferry back is a great bonus for those extra views of Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge. Thanks for spending the day with Dylan’s Tours!

You don’t get too much time in the woods, but Kevin was the best tour guide ever! Very fun and knowledgeable
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Hello Cathryn! Kevin will really appreciate this! We know everyone has a different idea of how much time they’d like in Muir Woods, but the time we provide is the average that works well for most guests while still allowing us to cover the rest of the experience. We appreciate the feedback and are glad Kevin made the tour so fun and informative. Thanks for spending the day with Dylan’s Tours!

This narrative tour includes not only beautiful Muir Woods, but a historical and picturesque tour of San Francisco districts located near the Golden Gate Bridge. Taking the shuttle was so helpful since there were some winding roads going to breathtaking Muir Woods. Grab this opportunity to see the inspiring redwood trees if you are able; it’s an incredible majestic experience. Tour was very organized and Roger communicated some very helpful tips along the way. Roger was such a fun, informative guide, so welcoming with a big heart! As locals, Roger expanded our knowledge of SF and we came away feeling very proud of our city and thankful to be native San Franciscans! Thanks Roger!
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Hello there! We are very happy to know that Roger was able to make your tour fun and Educational at the same time. As locals It is our goal to let our guests feel at home while in the historic and walking in the beautiful city of San Francisco. Dylan's Tours and team would be grateful to welcome you back on your next adventure and book directly with us for a discount.

We did not realize our Muir Woods experience would include a city tour as well. We had already done one with another company but Dylan Tours and Jules as our guide was FAR SUPERIOR. Wonderful tidbits about neighborhoods and city life here, interesting route, and fantastic narration with Jules. He was not the pretentious memorized tour guide but made it casual as if you were just driving in his vehicle and he talked you through a tour of the city. Muir Woods was the advertised focus of the tour, but the entire tour, lasting 5 hours, was so much more. Thanks to Dylan Tours, Jules, and others on the trip for a wonderful San Fran experience. When I return I will definitely go to Dylan Tours first for my next guided experience.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for showing so much love for what we do best. It really is the local perspective that sets us apart from the bigger tour companies, while still keeping the experience fun and easygoing. We’re glad Jules made that come through. Thanks for spending the day with Dylan’s Tours!

Our tour guide was Jeffrey. I was traveling with my Mom and daughter. Jeffrey took us through so many neat neighborhoods on our way to the woods, it crossed off several of the things we wanted to see during our trip! He was enthusiastic, helpful, friendly and made this experience truly amazing! I would book with this tour company again in a heartbeat!
Response from Host, Aug 2026
We always like to add a few little surprises along the way to keep the experience fun and memorable. We’re glad Jeffrey made the day so special for your family. Thanks for spending the day with Dylan’s Tours!

Robin_F, Aug 2026
The tour guide will be holding a sign that says Dylan’s Tours (not Viator) at the meet-up spot. After that - smooth and informative experience!
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Yes that's us, we hold a large Dylan’s Tours sign at the meeting point so everyone can easily find and gather with their small group tour. We’re glad the experience was smooth from start to finish. Thanks for spending part of your San Francisco visit with Dylan’s Tours!
Tama_M, Aug 2026
I did this trip solo but I met a lot of nice people in my tour group. Our guide was very knowledgeable about all the sights he drove us to and had a good sense of humor. I enjoyed walking through the Muir Woods to see the redwood trees.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
We love hearing that solo travelers can still feel part of the group. It sounds like your guide kept the day fun. Thanks for spending it with Dylan’s Tours!

Marie_F, Jul 2026
Very interesting tour of parts of SF and the Muir Woods part is very nice, but 90 minutes in the wood was a little short for me. The tour guide, Jules (hope I’ve spelt correctly!) was very informative.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Hello Marie! We’re glad Jules made it informative and enjoyable. We appreciate your feedback about the time in Muir Woods and will be sure to share your kind words with him. Thanks for joining us!

Robert_Y, Jul 2026
Tour with Kevin was fantastic. The info on the web site should have been a bit more detailed in terms of all the sighta we saw amd visited. The current website led me to believe that it was basically a shuttle service to/from Muir woods. But it was substantially more than we bargained for, and that was great
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you so much for your amazing review Robert. Everyone from the team is very happy to hear about your wonderful time with Dylan's tours specially with Kevin. Looking forward for your next tour with us!

Our trip to the Muir Woods with Jules was highly enjoyable. He was a great guide and I appreciated the laidback manner in which he conducted our tour. Muir Woods is beautiful and is a great side trip to any San Francisco vacation.
Response from Host, Jul 2026

Jamison_L, Jun 2026
Jeffrey was so GREAT!! He added onto the tour and showed us really cool parts of the city. His vibe was so chill as funny. My ten year old and I had such a good time. Muir Woods was of course beautiful. Also, Jeffrey waited for everyone to arrive and went out of his way to make sure they made it back to the bus. Even gave a couple different drop off locations. Great tour with great, chill, guide.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for the fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear that Jeffrey helped make your Muir Woods experience so memorable. We'll be sure to share your kind words with him, and we hope to welcome you back for another adventure in San Francisco soon!
Robert_K, Jun 2026
First, our driver Jeffrey was VERY patient waiting for some customers that were tardy while we waited. He was very informative about different aspects of the city that he made interesting and entertaining. He was also very patient with us at all times. My wife and I are a little older and he always made sure we were always taken care of. We will let others know your company, especially Jeffrey are outstanding.

Maureen_R, Jun 2026
What a relaxing day in San Francisco. Our driver was the most informative polite enjoyable person to hang with for the morning. He was so informative about San Francisco and the history here. Once you get to John Muir the day of Zen continues while you enjoy the hour or so walk through the forest.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thanks for booking with Dylan’s Tours! Sounds like such a peaceful morning. Glad your guide made the city interesting and Muir Woods gave you that quiet forest time.
Barry_M, Jun 2026
Fun, fun, fun! Not only a walk/hike in Muir Woods but a tour of some parts of San Francisco with a music/movie buff as a tour guide - Patrick. And a few stops for pictures.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thanks for booking with Dylan’s Tours! Glad you had a fun day with Patrick. Muir Woods, city stops, and photo ops make a great combo.
Robin_D, Jun 2026
The tour operator knew the area very well and made a few stops along the way to some lovely areas that enticed me to want to vist them later. The time alloted was perfect. The woods are breathtaking and easy for someone with very limited mobility. Most of the paths have wooden walkways and are flat so a wheelchair should also be able to maneuver them easily. The only negative was the tour operator had a sign, but it was small and no other identifying way of locating our guide. He made a point of seeking out the people in our tour, but it would have been helpful to have had something more visible. Aside from that, the tour and the guide were wonderful. I enjoyed the local music to enhance the tour. He also provided snacks and water to keep us hydrated.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for the thoughtful review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the tour, the local music, and the stops along the way. Muir Woods really is breathtaking, and we’re happy to hear the timing worked well and that the paths felt accessible for someone with limited mobility. We also appreciate the feedback about making our guide easier to identify at the meeting point, and we’ll keep that in mind. Next time, book direct through Dylan’s Tours and use promo code LOCAL10 for a discount. Hope to see you again soon!
