I spent a fun day touring with Brendan on the Famous Tour. He did a great job showing the sights and gave us a lot of interesting facts about the city. In spite of the rain, he made the day fun and the tour was a highlight of my visit to San Francisco. More

On our first day in San Francisco we took Dylan's Famous Tour, and we were not disappointed. We had an incredible day of sightseeing and learning about San Francisco's culture and history, all while getting great local recommendations where to go after the tour. Muir Woods was the highlight for me, I had never seen a forest like that!What a... More

I took the 90 minute highlight tour a few weeks ago. I only had a short stopover, so tried to fit in as much as possible. We saw all the famous sites--- Fisherman's Wharf, Chinatown, Pacific Heights, but the highlight of the tour was driving across the Golden Gate Bridge! The van had sunroofs that opened up. It was so... More

My brother was getting married in San Francisco and it was up to me to coordinate a tour for our family of 24, so I hired Dylan and his brother to give a tour of San Francisco, Sausalito and Muir Woods. We had to take 2 vehicles because of our large group, but we had an amazing time. We got... More

We visited SF for five days. On the first full day we were in town, we scheduled Dylan's Driving Tour. Our guide, Dylan's brother Brendan picked us up near Union Square, which is very convenient to many hotels, including HI hostel. We could have saved a bit of money if we'd booked the tour through our hostel, rather than online,... More

For those of you looking for a fun thing to do in San Francisco I would highly recommend renting a bicycle and Biking across the Golden Gate Bridge. My wife and I and another couple had a blast. There are a few companies in San Francisco that offer bike rentals, but Dylan's Tours is the way to go. For 4... More

We chose to rent Dylan's bikes for the day. Excellent value at $22/bike. The bikes were great. Included map, helmet and bike lock. The bikes afforded us the opportunity to see so much more than if you have car (parking a bike is a breeze) and to see much more than if we had stayed on foot. I highly suggest... More

Our family did Dylan's tour the first week of January. We're a late 50's couple plus our college age daughter was with us. Our tour guide for the day was Brendan. There were only 5 of us on the 14 seater bus. Brendan was awesome...he gave a lot of insight and information about San Francisco - we totally enjoyed this... More

Want a local, business owner who has lived in SF his entire life, then take this tour!!! Dylan and Brendan run a wonderful, friendly, knowledgeable tour service. We are so glad we took this tour, not only due to their expertise and personal touch, but also to support small businesses. They know the city's history and share their insider viewpoints... More

We actually had Brendan take us on our tour and he was knowledgable and friendly. I loved that the tour took us to Muir woods for lunch and sausilito as we weren't unsure if we'd get out there on our own. I've seen tours that don't include those sights for double the price so this was great value. Brendan also... More
