I was only in San Fran for a few days and wanted to see as much as I could and decide afterwards where I wanted to return and explore further. I took the tour in April and was thoroughly happy with the choice. Brendan was our guide and you could tell he had alot of pride in his city. He... More

Having read the TA reviews, we expected a thorough and exciting tour. Jack provided us an afternoon to remember. We were so glad to leave the driving to him. We took the Dylans Famous Day tour, and went through Chinatown, Union Square, Tenderloin, Castro, Billionaires row, Golden Gate, Muir woods, Sausalito. All along the way, Jack explained the history of... More

Took this tour in April 2013 and are really glad we made this our first thing to do in San Francisco. Brendon was a great guide, friendly, full of information and obviously very proud of his city. He took us to most of the main areas in the City with great views and photo opportunities and then on to Muir... More

Thanks to Brandon our guide and Dylan's tours for a great day out in San Francisco. We booked a private tour as we wanted flexibility as we were travelling with our two children and we did not want long waits and visits to places that would be of no interest to us or we felt we could visit without a...

We took the famous tour in April and had a great day. We explored all the neighbourhoods and picked up some good history. They offer a great list of recommendations for local restaurants and good places to go, which really made our stay in San Francisco enjoyable. We loved Muir Woods and the photo stops were super.

We were in San Fran for a limited amount of time so decided to take a tour. Brendan was a fab host very informative and good fun. We had so many amazing photo ops of this fantastic city. You see the real San Francisco and thoroughly enjoyed every second. Would 100% recommend.

Dylan was a great tour guide and very knowledgeable of many of the sites and locations we visited on our 3 hour "private" tour. With very little time to spend in San Francisco, this was the perfect way to see the city and points of interest. Sure beats going on a tour bus! Thanks Dylan we thoroughly enjoyed it. Janis... More

We are seven lifetime friends who are celebrating our 60th birthdays this year and were only going to be in San Francisco for one day. After researching various tours, Dylan's Tours sounded like the perfect fit for us. From the minute we booked the tour to the day we took it, Dylan helped prepare us for an AWESOME sightseeing tour.... More

We throughly enjoyed the tour and all the sights. Muir woods was amazing and the view from the Marin Headlands breathtaking. Brendan, our tour guide, showed pride in his city and was very informative. Our only complaint was the driving. We weren't sure if he was trying to make up time or what exactly. Granted there are steep hills and... More

I thank you for your review of our tour and am very pleased you enjoyed the beauty of Muir Woods and Marin Headlands throughout the tour. These highlights and our travelers' reaction to such highlights are exactly the reason we love doing what we do here at Dylan's Tours! Conversely, something we do not tolerate is unsafe driving. I personally... More
