If you are looking to hire bikes, then look no further. Dylan’s went above and beyond. Their communication beforehand was exceptional, all questions were answered immediately (allowing for time differences) and in full. On the day they gave a very good talk on how to use the bikes and put our minds at rest immediately. They gave us some great ideas of places to visit which we took full advantage of. I would definitely recommend hiring a bike of hop on/off buses as you get to see a lot more of the city and you have the added bonus of not having to walk up steep hills 😀

Desmond was our tour guide for the electric bike tour and he was AMAZING. My husband and I could not rave enough about him to our friends and family. His guided tour was so animated, funny, and very personal. We got to talk with some residents of the city outside of Presidio Park and Desmond stopped to show us many different houses and landmarks. The ride itself was pretty easy with the electric bikes, definitely would recommend using an electric bike versus a manual bike to ride around San Francisco! If you have the option to take a tour with Desmond as your guide I would absolutely tell you to take one without hesitation! It was also very nice that we got to keep our bikes after the tour until 6pm. My husband and I actually retraced the path we originally took since Carl the fog was previously in the bay during our tour. 10/10 recommend Dylan’s Tours and Desmond the tour guide.

This tour is totally worth the money, and, if you book with Dylan, you are getting a small local business, not a big national company. The tour was comprehensive and informative—and, most importantly, fun! Patrick was a great guide with lots of local knowledge, appropriately cheesy jokes, and a penchant for Name that Tune featuring songs recorded at the Record Plant in Sausalito. We earned lots of Ghirardelli chocolates (which, we now know, are no longer made in San Francisco!) for guessing the tunes and other trivia. We also got fantastic pictures because Patrick knew just where to stop and how to frame a great shot. We did the city tour, Muir Woods, and Alcatraz, and it was a great day. All in all, a great introduction to the city—highly recommend!

Our delightful guide Bob took us on a day tour of San Francisco, where we were shown the sights of downtown, Muir Woods, Sausalito, Fine Arts Museum and much more. Bob gave us an in-depth and detailed tour of all that San Francisco has to offer, he was extremely knowledgeable and more than happy to answer the multitude of questions we threw at him. He went above and beyond taking us to the Chase Centre upon request, and extending our trip time so we could better experience the city. Bob was a fabulous and charismatic guide and we were so grateful to have him take us on this tour and could not have asked for a better guide

We are a family of 3 from Australia. We booked a private 5 hour tour around SF for the first full day of our stay to help us get some feel for our surroundings. Jake was our tour guide and we can't recommend him more! He was very knowledgeable and accommodating. Our itinerary was completely at our discretion and very relaxed. Thank you so much!!

We are so glad we chose Dylan’s Tours to show us around San Francisco. Our guide Rolando was fantastic, friendly, informative, flexible, fun!!! We chose to do a private tour with our group of 18 people ages 6-69. The 25 passenger bus was perfect space for us. We loved not having to drive and park ourselves all over the city and we loved how much we got to see. Rolando was also super flexible when we told him we just had to put our feet in the ocean. Everyone of us had a great time and enjoyed this tour immensely.

This was a great tour! I felt like we saw so many of the area’s top attractions in one day. Our tour guide Sully was great. I loved all the information he gave and the stories he told us about every area of the city. He kept things on schedule very efficiently and drove very safely. I feel like I learned so much about San Francisco and all it’s various neighborhoods.

Muir Woods was our favorite part of the day. I know for a fact we would not have made it out that way on our own, so I definitely appreciated having that as part of the tour. It is just so beautiful up there. Peaceful and serene and the air is so crisp and clean. Loved getting to see that.

All in all I would definitely recommend Dylan’s tours. We had a great time!

Excellent small group tour of San Francisco & Muir Woods, in a comfortable, air conditioned minibus with extra large windows and enhanced spacing between seats. Our tour guide, Mike, was friendly, engaging & incredibly knowledgeable. He shared lots of interesting facts and tips - including some favourite restaurants & ideas of other places to visit. Water & cereal bars provided. Highly recommend!

My family (2 adults and 2 teens) loved this tour. It was hands down our favorite activity in the city. Great guide, great power assist bikes (Rad Power Bikes), and good weather made for great views of the city, the bay, and the Golden Gate Bridge.
