Great tour with lots of main attractions. Awesome tour guide!
Had Sean (Sully) as my tour guide. Awesome tour, very organized and well planned. Our tour had 15 people that day. Bus was very clean and seats were comfortable. Snacks and bottle water were provided. Sully's commentary during the tour was highly informative. He gave detailed history of the parts of town we were passing through and also had insider/local knowledge of certain areas. He was also quite funny and kept the mood of the tour very light and relaxing. I usually don't like bus tours because they are often boring and monotonous but Sully had made it a very enjoyable experience! Best bus tour I've been on. Would highly recommend this tour if you are in the city for a short stay or a day trip. Only complaint was that we weren't able to stay in the Muir woods and Sausalito longer but that's just the way the tour is structured.

A Great Day Trip to Silicon Valley
We had an amazing trip to Silicon Valley with Tony. He was incredibly knowledgeable and took wonderful care of the three of us throughout the journey. Beyond visiting tech giants like Google, Apple, Meta, Oracle, and Nvidia, as well as the beautiful Stanford University campus, the true highlights were seeing the famous HP Garage, Steve Jobs’ childhood home and garage, and his final residence surrounded by beautiful apple trees.

We had an absolutely amazing tour. I usually do culinary tours on every vacation. This tour and the guide Ryan were amazing. The food stops, the history and all the interesting stories made the tour extra special. We really learned so much about the Bay Area. We are so thrilled we joined this family owned tour group. Made our stay in SF very special. Worth every pound gained. ♥️♥️♥️♥️

our guide, Ben was excellent : very knowledgeable, friendly , The comfortable van was not overcrowded enjoyed meeting people from other countries; Tour gave a good taste of the Muir Woods(beautiful) and Sausalito ;would’ve enjoyed a little more time in Sausalito( 1hr ) NOTE: All given the option of staying in Sausalito longer and taking the ferry ba ck. enjoyed the scenic stop to take pictures of the Golden Gate Bridge. It was great we received instructions via email and notifications on where & when to meet; I appreciated being able to save our tickets in our phone wallet

Vantigo – The Original San Francisco VW Bus Tour

Original. Genuine. Just book it.
This is the San Francisco VW van tour you need to take. Harvey is a cool, authentic, classic VW van, and took us up and down the beautiful San Francisco hills like the little engine that could. Our guide Chad is a real one. You can tell he genuinely loves the city, is excited about the history, and made the tour so darn fun. We sang, we laughed, we had chocolate, got to see the sights and learn some stuff. We saw the city from an amazing vantage point only a true local could know about. We enjoyed meeting the other ladies on the tour too, it was truly such a great afternoon. Don’t be fooled by those wild paint jobs of the others. If you want substance more than flash, this is a much more worthwhile and original tour to choose. Thanks so much to Chad, you have no idea how much getting to spend that time touring around town with you Harvey meant to my friend. Her San Francisco dream come true. (Shout out to George btw, you sound pretty cool and your painted lady is beautiful!)

Chinatown, North Beach, Little Italy: 7 Tastings & History
nicolehX6335YN, Sep 2026
Great experience
This was such a great tour. Andre, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable and personable (and is quite an interesting individual in the best of ways).It just so happened to be a very small group (just 4 if us including our guide), which I loved. Chinatown and Little Italy have so much history, too much to experience in one trip, but Andre managed to pack A LOT into the 3-hour tour.TIP: Be sure to check the weather when packing and dress in layers if it's typical SF weather (55-65 degrees). I didn't enjoy it as much as I would've because I was chilly, but that's my fault for not dressing appropriately.

Great food, local history and an amazing guide
Mark was an amazing guide and really made the tour. Being from San Francisco and a chef, he knew his stuff when it came to the food, but what made it especially good was all the local history and context he brought into it. He gave us a real sense of the different neighbourhoods, the cultures that shaped them and how the food fits into that story, which brought the whole experience to life. I really liked that the tour covered a few different parts of San Francisco rather than staying within one neighbourhood like a lot of food tours do. It felt like you got to see and understand much more of the city, while still trying some great food along the way. Would definitely recommend, and Mark was a huge part of what made it so good.

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!

A San Francisco Must
Booking online easy and ferry boarding easy. At Alcatraz there is quite a steep walk up to the tour start - then a free audio provided and tour to follow. Extremely interesting - as expected - and much enjoyed! Tip would be to have a clothing layer - the wind in the exercise yard is biting and we were there on an extremely hot day! Views stunning.
