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.

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

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.

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!

Jayla_C, May 2026
The tour was great and super informative about the San Francisco area. Our guide Jules was charming and had lots of info to share. The Muir Woods portion was unbelievably beautiful, and my only critique is that I wish we had more time in the park compared to driving around the city seeing landmarks.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thanks for booking with Dylan’s Tours! We’re so glad you enjoyed your day with Jules and the beauty of Muir Woods. We also appreciate the feedback regarding the timing in the park. Muir Woods visit times are unfortunately limited by the National Park Service permit windows, but we’re happy to hear the experience still left such a strong impression. Thanks again for touring with us!
Eva_P, May 2026
Our driver Jules was very knowledgeable and informative. He even gave us a great tip on how to take great pictures inside the park! It was nice to get a city tour included with our Muir Woods tour. We took some beautiful pictures in the park! The allotted time given was enough time to go all the way through the trail. 100% recommend, great tour!
Response from Host, May 2026

I enjoyed this tour. The group was easy going and being a solo traveler was not a problem. I did the 2 mile loop at Muir Woods.
Response from Host, May 2026

Roger was a great Tour Guide.
We were late getting off the ship because of Detailed Customs Inspections, but Roger and his team made arrangements for us to catch up to the Tour.
He was knowledgable about our stops and provided local flavor and background all along the way.

Tina_P, May 2026
We were lucky and had a beautiful day. Started with a tour of San Francisco and then a stop at Golden Gate Bridge. Had about 30 mins there. Was long enough for pictures and gift shop. On to Muir Woods. Such a lovely peaceful place! Plenty of time to wander, gift shop and grab a drink. We then took the option to get dropped at Sausalito. What a fantastic little place. Then took ferry back to San Francisco.
We had Jake as a guide. A lovely guy. Good sense of humour and very knowledgeable and gave great recommendations. Told us exactly where to go for ferry to get back. Good music choices too for bus. Thanks Jake - made the trip!
Response from Host, May 2026
Thanks for booking with Dylan’s Tours! Sounds like a perfect day from start to finish. Jake is great at keeping the tour fun, informative, and seamless, especially with the Sausalito drop-off and ferry back. Glad you enjoyed the Golden Gate Bridge stop and the time in Muir Woods. Hope to see you again soon!

The minibus was comfy enough and our driver Patrick was full of information, trivia, music, and jokes. Very entertaining!! The Muir Woods are well worth the visit, and the extra detours through various SF neighborhoods, under the Golden Gate Bridge, and through Sausalito were interesting and enjoyable

In addition to the serene and awesome Muir Woods, our tour included an informative drive through San Fransisco; a stop at both the Golden Gate overlook and the Presidio Tunnel Tops with amazing views and photo ops of Golden Gate Bridge; and Palace of the Arts. Our driver/guide Jake did an amazing job sharing tons of history and other information

We had no idea that you get an amazing tour of all the highlights to see in SF, as well as, the best restaurants, bars and hangouts of famous people. I would even recommend this tour to locals.l And the trip to Muir Woods and Sausalito was a plus for sure.,We got off in Sausalito, had lunch, shopped, and ferry back to SF. Our driver, Kevin, was the best!!!!!
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thanks for booking with Dylan’s Tours. Always a nice surprise when guests realize how much of the city we cover. Sounds like you made the most of Sausalito. Kevin will really be happy to hear this. Appreciate you coming out with us, hope to have you back again.
