A Wonderful Experience for Locals!

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!

Informative, fun day of sight-seeing.

Really excellent. We had Dylan as our guide and he gave great information about each area of San Francisco as we drove through. We made a couple of stops and were able to see some sights before and after Muir woods. I particularly liked how Dylan put his own experience into the stories as a San Francisco local. Muir Woods is stunning and an hour and a half is the perfect amount of time to walk the big loop, take photos and grab a souvenir from the shop. I'd initially considered pre booking Ubers to just go to the woods and back and am so glad I didn't.

Operator response

Hello Dan! Thank you so much, for the amazing review. We love to hear that Dylan’s stories brought San Francisco to life and made your Muir Woods visit extra special! We can’t wait to welcome you back to Dylan’s Tours See you soon!

Easiest way to get to Muir Woods from Fisherman's Wharf

First I have to say shout out to our guide Jules! He did such a great job pointing out things in the city and generally making the day fun. This was exactly what we were looking for, 90 minutes was the right amount of time to see what we wanted, and the most convenient way for us to get to Muir Woods.

Operator response

A nice 4 hour trip out of the city

Enjoyed this tour with Jules; he gave us info on the areas we were driving through, but didn't talk the whole time! Nice to have some quiet to enjoy the drive and the area. The stops were just long enough with plenty of time to enjoy Muir Woods. The bus was comfy and roomy and water and snacks were provided. Stops at the Golden Gate Vista point and other spots and a drive through Pacific Heights were nice additions!

Operator response

Best Tour of our Trip!

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.

Operator response

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!

Amazing experience

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!

Operator response

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!
