We took Dylan's Famous Tour today with John as our guide. It was a really enjoyable day, full of sights, facts and fun! John was very entertaining and knowledge. We never felt rushed even though we had a nice tour of the city, time in Haight-Ashbury, a lunch stop in Sausalito, ample time in Muir Woods and various other short photo stops. We highly recommend!

Thanks for reviewing your Dylan's Famous Tour experience! John will be really happy to hear you enjoyed yourself.

John, like all of our guides, is a San Francisco local. He grew up here and is eager to not only share the history of the city, but his experience watching it evolve over time. Our goal for each of our guests is to give them the best possible experience of the city we call home, and for them to walk away feeling like they spent a special day with us.

Sincerely,
Dylan

Must do tour in SF if you are local or not. I loved this tour. Our guide was very informative and kind. Will do it again later.

We had limited time in San Francisco and wanted to see as much of the city as possible. I booked the 6 hour Famous tour because this company is one of the highest rated on Trip Advisor, and it is definitely deserving of its ranking!

There were 14 of us on the tour, and we were shown the city in a very comfortable mini-bus. Bob was our guide / driver, and he was EXCELLENT!!! He was so friendly and welcoming and shared tons of very interesting information! We saw so many sites we would not have seen touring on our own. The highlight was definitely the 1+ hours spent in Muir Woods. It was absolutely beautiful and probably not a location we would have thought to visit.

We took an evening city lights tour with another company (which I won't name) the night before, and the guide was so rude and arrogant that we considered cancelling this tour ... fearing a similar experience. These concerns were alleviated as soon as the tour started, though, and it was one of the highlights of our vacation. I definitely recommend Dylan's Tours ... and hope you get Bob as your guide!

Thank you for spending time with us during your trip to San Francisco and for the kind words for Bob - we will let him know that you enjoyed the Dylan's Famous Tour!

As you mentioned, we keep our tours as small groups, never more than 14 guests. We feel like this size not only gives you a better tour, but allows you to interact with the guide and ask individual questions. It also keeps things comfortable, so you aren't just smushed on the bus with a lot of other guests.

Thanks again for taking the time to review our small business.

Best,
Dylan

Our last visit to San Francisco was 14 years ago with young children so we needed a refresher on the city and its sights.

Our guide on the Original City Loop tour was Samantha who was engaging, knowledgable and thoughtful. Her passion for SF and its history came across without being didactic. The electric bikes were excellent and easy to master, the pace suited everyone and there was never a feeling of being rushed or having to stick to a rigid timetable.

Apart from the standard tourist sights, we saw parts of the city we would never have known otherwise and learned much about the its evolution.

Lunch was ordered in advance about an hour into the tour and was ready for collection from a lovely cafe later. The food was great and the Chicken Mendo sandwich well worth
an honourable mention.

Samantha was happy to take photos as the tour progressed, thanks to which we have some great memories of a thoroughly enjoyable day.

I'm so glad you enjoyed the Original City Loop Tour - we'll be sure to let Sam know that you enjoyed seeing the city with her!

Our electric bikes are easy to master if you are comfortable riding a normal bicycle. The best part is that the hills are so easy to climb, with just a little bit of throttle. The 20 mile covers both the bay, ocean and several neighborhoods in between, including a stop for lunch and several photo breaks.

Again, thanks for joining the tour. If you are ever back in town, please let us know!

All the Best,
Dylan

If you are new to San Francisco or a returning visitor this is a must do tour. I have been to SF many times. But my children (ages 19 and 11) had never been. My children and I both LOVED this tour.

The highlights of the tour--

1) The tour guide was knowledgeable. We had Julio
2) The tour takes you to all the neighborhoods. I did not realize how many neighborhoods there were and how different they were.
3) The tour gives you the important interesting facts of San Francisco and does not boggle you down in too much information. So, it made it enjoyable for my children.
4) Haight Asbury is the lunch stop. Great place for lunch
5) Play California Rock ie Otis Redding when going over the Golden Gate bridge.
6) This tour has Muir Woods. If you don't have a car, this is the best way to get to Muir Woods.

Thank you for taking the time to review your Dylan's Famous Tour - I'm really glad to hear that you and your family enjoyed your time in San Francisco!

Thanks for mentioning Muir Woods National Redwoods Forest. It is a beautiful destination just a half hour north of San Francisco, and you can spend over an hour enjoying the nature during the tour.

Again, thank you for the kind words - we will definitely pass them along to Julio!

Cheers,
Dylan
