5.00Aaron was our guide for the day. He was very knowledgeable and showed us parts of the city that we would not have been able to tour with a regular bus. He even gave us his personal cell phone number, so we could call if we had any questions traveling down Hwy 101.

5.00Our family of four had the BEST experience on this tour. We were traveling with our two kids (ages 7 and 10), and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip to San Francisco. Seeing the city through a local’s eyes made such a difference. Our guide shared stories, history, and little details about neighborhoods that we never would have noticed on our own. It felt personal, authentic, and much more meaningful than just checking off tourist spots. The open air van made the whole experience even more fun. The kids loved being able to see everything clearly, feel the breeze, and take in the views of the city and bay. It made every stop and drive between locations exciting instead of feeling like a typical tour. Highly recommend!
Fantastic morning in San Francesco

5.00We truly enjoyed our tour with Kevin. He took us to all the places we’d been hoping to see, and he was warm, helpful, and very knowledgeable. Ending the day at Alcatraz was a highlight—the audio tour really brings the experience to life. We’d absolutely recommend this tour!

5.00This tour was the perfect start to our family vacation. The van was clean and spacious and blankets were provided for comfort. Our guide was welcoming and very knowledgeable about the city. He shared interesting anecdotes throughout the tour and customized our route to allow our son to take a picture with Yoda. Highly recommended!
Looking Forward to a Great Time!

5.00Cannot wait to bring my family on this tour! I've taken Dylan's Tours as a wine tour, food tour and private tour... so I'm sure this holds up the same amazing standard of excellence! I've got some out of town guests coming in March and this tour is the perfect fit for all ages to see some sights and get on with their holiday!
