We had a great day with Adam as our guide. He provided an excellent tour through the city pointing out areas worth going back to with more time. Muir Woods is also a great place to visit. Alcatraz is as expected but well worth the time to do at least once.

This tour was awesome. Our tour guide and driver, Patrick was excellent at his job. He was knowledgable, fun, and welcoming to all. Patrick has a great sense of humor and made our day way more enjoyable than it would have been without him. The tour hit almost all of the big stops we were hoping to see in San Francisco along with a couple other stops I wouldn't have thought to go to on our own! Highly recommend for any age group.

Our group thoroughly enjoyed this excursion and would definitely recommend it! Our tour guide, Adam, was very knowledgable and entertaining :-). The tour bus was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed our tour of San Francisco, loved the Muir Woods, and found Alcatraz to be very interesting. If you have limited time, this is an excellent tour.

An awesome tour for someone with no time in their hands. Orlando (our guide) was great and suggestions were awesome too!

Plenty of washroom breaks (essential for a 6 year old), could not have done any better, the tour was perfect. Lunch by the bay was awesome (find the deli) and getting the Alcatraz tickets was easy at the box (use the tour guide line). Definitely recommended

Rolando is a great tour guide! He took us around SF, got to see all the tourist sites, and provided history and fun facts. Overall, you can really tell he enjoys his job and wants to create a great experience for everyone.

First and foremost I really did enjoy this tour. There was bottled water and some snacks provided in the mini-bus. Our guide was very informative, and enthusiastic, which meant he went a bit off-piste at times. I would have preferred a bit more time in Sausilito, an hour was just too tight even for a decent lunch, although the guide give us some good pointers on where to go. The Alcatraz audio element of the tour was awesome. Overall a very worthy 4 tour.

Dylan's Tour did a great job with our tour!! We were able to hit a great overview of the city in a more personal tour. Brendan did a nice job of sharing history and personal stories of the city and area. We were able to get some great views of the city and experience things easily. We were so lucky that the weather was perfect for our day. Definitely recommend.
