    Great experience of SFO in one day

    Anjali_B, Apr 2026
    Our driver Jules was our guide as well. Lots of historical information given and iconic sites visited in SFO. Golden gate and Muir Woods were great but unfortunately Sausalito was not included on the day as per the tour booking due to time restrictions!.Alcatraz visit was at the end, a self guided audio tour after our guide instructed us re the pre-booked tickets and the ferry. Overall excelletnt tour and very well organised.

    Response from Host, Apr 2026

    Thanks for booking direct with Dylan’s Tours and for sharing your experience. We’re really glad you had a great day exploring San Francisco with Jules. He does a fantastic job mixing in history, local insight, and all the iconic sights along the way. It’s great to hear you enjoyed the Golden Gate Bridge and Muir Woods, and that everything felt well organized from start to finish, including the Alcatraz portion. We appreciate you pointing out Sausalito as well. On some of the Alcatraz combination days, timing can be tight, so it becomes more of a scenic pass-through rather than a full stop, but we always aim to make sure the overall experience still feels complete. Thanks again for the recommendation, and hope to see you again soon.

    Excellent tour with Jake from Dylan’s Tours

    Ruth_T, Mar 2026
    Jake with Dylan’s Tours was amazing! He did a great job sharing the history of the city he loves, giving us pointers for each stop and allowing the perfect amount of time, and even offering to take photos for everyone! Great playlist too!

    Response from Host, Mar 2026

    Thanks for booking with Dylan’s Tours. Love hearing that Jake made the day fun and informative, he really knows how to bring the city to life. Glad you enjoyed the pacing, the stops, and that playlist too. Hope to see you again soon.

    February is wet! It does rain in California!

    Hannah_M, Feb 2026
    Although a very rainy day and the last ferry to Alcatraz was very early (1:35 - winter times in February even though sunset is close to 6) I had a very enjoyable day! At Fort Point and In Muir Woods there were fewer people I expect due to the weather which made photos and videos better! The early last ferry meant no time in Sausalito or for food which was a real shame so I had to purchase food on the Alcatraz ferry and eat very fast! Jules the guide was very knowledgeable and a great driver on those steep San Francisco hills when showing us the main sites at the start of our tour!

    Kevin is highly recommended!

    Matthew_M, Nov 2025
    Absolutely amazing time and our tour guide Kevin from Dylans tours was amazing! Recommend this tour to any 1st time comers to the area. Completed my bucklis items and met some really great people along the way.

    Response from Host, Nov 2025

    Thanks for booking with Green Dream Tours! We’re so glad you had an amazing time with Kevin and that the tour helped you check off those bucket list sights.

    The meet up location was easy to find. Our tour guide, Per was knowledgeable and helpful. It was a nice way to tour the city annd the Golden Gate Bridge. Our tickets to Muir Woods was included since we bought it through Viator and we realized most people on the tour had to buy their own ticket.

    Had an excellent experience with tour guide Mr. Roger. All in our party appreciated his knowledge and passion for the Bay Area! Highly recommended the tour as a tourist or local. Roger adds local knowledge that makes it a memorable experience. He gave helpful hints on photo opportunities and things to do!

    Notre guide-chauffeur Selly a été excellent. Il a beaucoup de connaissance, est très intéressant. On a visité différents quartier de San Francixco. Ensuite nous nous sommes dirigés vers Muir Woods, endroits impressionnant, calme et ressourçant. Très beauté sinueuse à flanc de montagne. Nous avons lunché à Sausalito, belle petite ville sur le bord de la mer. Ensuite, embarquement pour Alcatraz qui est très impressionnant et intéressant.
