A Rock'n Out Good Time!

5.00This tour was a treat! Our tour guide Patrick was Da Bomb! As far as we're concerned, we hit all the SF attractions we were hoping to see--except for the Painted Ladies on Postcard Row. But guess what??? There are more painted ladies around Pacific Heights than just those over-hyped ones. Patrick knows where they're hiding in plain sight. What better guide than a fourth generation "born & raised" San Franciscan. More than his knowledge of the sights around SF, his personality and sense of humor made this tour AN EXPERIENC!. The trip over the Golden Gate to Muir Woods was the highlight. But what would have been a boring trip back to town (due to slow & go traffic congestion) was punched up by Patrick's knowledge of rock n roll artists who recorded some of their work at the Sausalito Record Plant in the 70s through the 90s. He put on a show acting as an Emcee (or should I say DJ) for a lively "Name the Artist" contest with a chocolate reward for those who could shout out correct answers first. I'm disappointed I didn't get a photo of Patrick or a video snippet of his performance! THANK YOU SO MUCH for a very memorable experience!
Great, great tour guide!

4.00Aaron was great! He was funny and informative. Muir Woods was absolutely beautiful. A lot of folks don’t want to pay for tours…here is how we feel…by the time you get transportation to the different places and tickets (if needed), it is basically a wash when you consider the perks (close parking, not having to figure it all out yourself…). We use reviews a lot to make our decisions (if it is something we want to do). The only reason we gave it a 4 is because the title says Sausalito. When you read the description it says drive through…it was a drive by-we drove by from the highway. I am not sure that counts. Also, Chinatown and North Beach were very disappointing. It was a very short drive by. We did the Alcatraz option. If you have very strict time constraints or if it your first day and want to get the “lay of the land” this tour is great!

5.00Patrick was fantastic. We had done other tours and there was a duplication of some of the city sights but he included the music and film history which no one else had done. Fun facts and corny jokes kept it interesting. It was a full bus but comfortable. Timeframe was perfect. Highly recommend!
Awesome Tour

3.00Arrived for Alcatraz portion and they couldn't find me on the list. Dylan's Tours said they made a mistake and I would have to purchase $150 in tickets myself and they would reimburse me. They did so quickly but had I not had that extra money on me, I wouldn't have been able to continue with your. Otherwise, Patrick the tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable. We didn't hit all the spots (like chinatown) but it was still fun and informative.
Great Tour
