5.00Amazing tour with guide Per! We are visiting from Australia and this was the best way to see San Francisco. We were taken to the best viewpoints in the city, learned a lot of interesting information and we lucky enough to see Muir Woods! Highly recommend this trip to everyone.

2.00We planned our trip to San Francisco to attend a wedding and to visit two places: Alcatraz and Muir Woods. With that in mind, we scheduled our tour through Viator with Dylan Tours of San Francisco. I cannot imagine the disappointment we felt when, after boarding the bus at 8:00 on October 20, 2025, we were told by the driver/guide that we were not going to Muir Woods because of the government shutdown. Neither Viator nor Dylan Tours can control access to the Muir Woods National Park, that we understand. However, the shutdown began on October 1, 2025. We should have been informed that a critical part of the tour would not be available so that we could make alternate plans. The driver, in an effort to fill the time previously allocated for Muir Woods, drove us around San Francisco, showing us parts of the city of little interest and, in some cases, offensive. The bottom line: we are very disappointed in the tour and the lack of sufficient information to make meaningful use of our time. I spent $398 on a tour that did not deliver what was promised. I want a refund of that amount.
Muir Woods Closed!

4.00We enjoyed the tour but we were not informed of Muir Woods being closed until we boarded for the tour. Instead, our driver, who was great, drove us around to ransom spots (one of which we visited on our own the previous day) and a creepy alley was part of the tour (graffiti). He did his best but too bad they didn’t just take us all to Alcatraz or a place more interesting than all of the little odd places.
