San Francisco to Muir Woods Shuttle
V8864AKaliceh, Sep 2026
Exactly what we wanted!
An amazing trip! Exactly what we wanted and Patrick our tour guide was amazing. It’s a short city tour about an hour long, photo stop at Golden Gate Bridge and then onto Muir woods. Beautiful place and 90 minutes was just enough time to do just over an hour of walking (we went to bridge three and back) and then spent some time in the gift shop and cafe. There’s an option to get off in Sausalito on the way back if you want to explore more but we stayed on the shuttle and were taken back to our starting point. Patrick provided lots of great facts, jokes and music along the way. Would highly recommend Dylan’s Tours!

San Francisco Private City Tour
saurabhvd, Sep 2026
A wonderful way to experience San Francisco – thanks to Pep!
We did a half-day private city tour of San Francisco with Pep Cearnal (the owner), and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our visit.I have generally found city tours to be a little routine, but this one was anything but that. Pep has a wonderful combination of deep knowledge of San Francisco and a very engaging, conversational style. She took the time to explain the history, background and interesting little stories behind the places we visited, rather than simply driving us from one sightseeing spot to another.We covered many of San Francisco’s principal sights and neighbourhoods, including Pacific Heights and some of its beautiful homes, Chinatown, Lombard Street, Union Square and the Palace of Fine Arts. Pep also showed us some fascinating locations connected with well-known personalities and Hollywood movies, including the famous Mrs. Doubtfire house and a home associated with Steve Jobs and his family. Her knowledge of the city, its neighbourhoods, architecture, people and history made the tour far more interesting than we had expected.What stood out even more, however, was Pep herself. She is extremely customer-friendly, warm, accommodating and very easy to communicate with. Nothing felt rushed or mechanical. She was flexible, attentive to what interested us and made the whole experience feel more like exploring San Francisco with a knowledgeable local friend than being on a conventional guided tour.Pep also has a very engaging personality, and conversation with her flowed effortlessly throughout the tour. By the end of the few hours we spent together, we felt we had not only seen San Francisco but had also understood and experienced the city a little better.We returned home to India with very fond memories of San Francisco, and Pep played a big part in creating them. We would happily recommend her and Alegro Private Tours to anyone looking for a personalised and enjoyable way to see the city.

For this guided tour, you get more than you pay for. Talk about one of the best guided tours I’ve ever been on, this was an excellent experience. We toured the city of San Francisco with Weyland from Dylan Tours and he was very knowledgeable of the city history and culture. I learned so much in 90 minutes. The ride in the van was very comfortable and the van seated about 7 guests. We also stopped along the way for a restroom break. Book this tour if you want an excellent guide that will provide a safe and enjoyable experience.

Great e-bike San Francisco tour
An incredible way to experience the best of the San Francisco Bay Area! Our bike tour gave us the perfect mix of scenic nature, beautiful historic neighborhoods, vibrant parks, and the unforgettable thrill of riding right across the Golden Gate Bridge. Spotting Wildlife: The absolute highlight of our ride was getting to see whales out in the water—such an extraordinary and unexpected bonus! A World-Class Guide: A huge thank you to our guide, Eli, who made the entire tour seamless, informative, and so much fun. If you want a thrilling, front-row seat to San Francisco’s most iconic sights, this tour is an absolute must-do!

It just made the whole experience so personal! I would pay double to do it again with him. Perfect amount of time and amount of food because I’m stuffed to the brim

Our time with Fred was perfect! We only had a couple of requests for stops, so Fred mapped out our 4 hours together to ensure that we saw as much of his beloved city as possible. We visited many of the more famous landmarks, but also saw several sites that simply took our breath away. The history and the stories that he shared added so much to our day also!

This food tour has been one of the greatest ones that we have ever been to. We love going on food tours and we have some experience and this one, top 3.- Guide Kenric - he was great, knowledgeable and polite. As the tour was taking place, he would tell us stories about Chinatown, really good ones. - Food - delicious. Make sure that you either skip breakfast or have a light one. There is a lot of tasty food. - 6 stops: two sweets, and 4 savory (fried rice, dumplings, dim sum, Cantonese duck, Chinese curry, vegetables… - There is not too much walking. Three hours fly by.
