Took this tour on a Friday in May. Brendan was our amazing guide. He was right on time at Union Square pickup spot. In one day, we got a great overview of San Francisco. We were only 4 on the tour so we had plenty of time to ask questions and to take pictures without rushing. Brendan gave us a... More

By far one of the best city tours that I have done so far. Had the opportunity of being driven by the man himself and had a great and informative day. He was in no hurry to finish and made sure we savoured every moment and gave us a local perspective to the whole experience. Muir woods, was also part... More

My wife and I had an excellent day tour with Dylan's Tours (Sunday 26th May). Brendan, Dylan's brother, was our guide. We started out from the bike shop, near Washington Square, as six tourists then picked up another four at Union Square. We were no longer ten tourists but now ten "sophisticated travellers exploring SF" according to Brendan. Leaving Union... More

Dylan picked my wife and I up on time and was pleasant and personable from the minute we met. The tour was very interesting and he communicated very clearly. We really felt like we got to see a good portion of the city. We would definitely recommend this tour!!

We did a private tour as our youngest doesn't travel well. Brendan did a fantastic job. We all had a great time, no travel sickness despite driving to Muir Woods & Marin Headlands. Brendan knows his stuff and had us laughing imitating his Dad's Welsh accent. Lovely guy, great trip. Thanks so much.

We were in SF for only a few days, had little time to read guidebooks in prep for our trip and relied on Trip Advisor to guide us to a way to experience some of San Francisco's highlights. What an outstanding 6 hour experience guided by Dylan himself! Dylan's thorough knowledge and effort to personalize the tour complete with learning... More

The hours we spent with Dylan and with the other tour guests were the highlight of our trip to San Francisco. We learned so much about the city and its neighborhoods and famous residents. We chose the tour after reading about it on Trip Advisor. It was a delightful day!

Dylan's Tours was one of the best tours I have ever been on anywhere! Dylan, the owner, gave us the tour. We went everywhere in SF, and he gave us the history behind every neighborhood, including the politics, the people, the changes etc. He was so knowledgeable since he grew up in SF. He knew the best places to pick... More
