Had a great day out with Dylan on this tour . He was very Knowledgeable and we went round lots of streets and areas with plenty short stops for photos before we went to the woods . There was no stopping in Sausalito only a drive through before we headed back to go to Alcatraz. He was great at telling us when to be back and how long we had in each place.
Our tour guide grew up in San Francisco and was a wealth of knowledge about the city and culture. It was a great tour for a great price!
Our driver Jules was our guide as well. Lots of historical information given and iconic sites visited in SFO. Golden gate and Muir Woods were great but unfortunately Sausalito was not included on the day as per the tour booking due to time restrictions!.Alcatraz visit was at the end, a self guided audio tour after our guide instructed us re the pre-booked tickets and the ferry. Overall excelletnt tour and very well organised.
Jake with Dylan’s Tours was amazing! He did a great job sharing the history of the city he loves, giving us pointers for each stop and allowing the perfect amount of time, and even offering to take photos for everyone! Great playlist too!
Although a very rainy day and the last ferry to Alcatraz was very early (1:35 - winter times in February even though sunset is close to 6) I had a very enjoyable day! At Fort Point and In Muir Woods there were fewer people I expect due to the weather which made photos and videos better! The early last ferry meant no time in Sausalito or for food which was a real shame so I had to purchase food on the Alcatraz ferry and eat very fast! Jules the guide was very knowledgeable and a great driver on those steep San Francisco hills when showing us the main sites at the start of our tour!
Absolutely amazing time and our tour guide Kevin from Dylans tours was amazing! Recommend this tour to any 1st time comers to the area. Completed my bucklis items and met some really great people along the way.
This was an amazing tour, taking in some fabulous highlights of San Fransisco. Our tour guide was quirky & fun & had a wealth of knowledge about everywhere we went - he definitely made the trip amazing. His photography skills when capturing the Golden Gate were excellent, and we all had him assist us to capture the perfect shots. Muir Woods wasn't something we knew much about, but gosh, this place is beautiful and well worth the small entry fee applicable. We also opted for Alcatraz, and it doesn't disappoint. Be sure to listen to the audio, follow the directions and you'll hear some amazing information from guards & prisoners. Highly recommend Green Dream Tours :)
Wonderful tour definitely recommend it Jack was a great tour guide funny kindly since he is a born raised San Franciscan fully equipped with necessary info about SF
It was a fun day, driving around San Francisco, stopping to take photos, hearing fun stories from Barry, going to Sausalito and finally Alcatraz tour. Well organized, everything was on time and we had a lot of fun. Barry was very informative, interesting and funny. We had a great time! I highly recommend this tour!
Evan, our guide was excellent. He was well informed and freely answered questions. He was very friendly. The day was well paced and ran on schedule. Dylan’s tours did an excellent job. We concluded the day with the Alcatraz extension. I would highly recommend this tour and the company.
Excellent accommodations. Patrick was very informative and engaging. Being able to visit Muir woods, Sausalito and Alcatraz was a great day.
Nice day out, never felt rushed even though our guide kept on reminding us of our timetable. Muir Woods is amazing and Alcatraz as educational
Patrick was very well versed in all things San Francisco. We enjoyed all his information offered on the tour. He was super personable and polite. We really enjoyed the mix of on/off stops and the amount of time at each stop. Would highly recommend this tour and this business!
We really enjoyed our tour guide, Patrick. He was great! The tour was fantastic. We really enjoyed seeing the Fine Arts Museum. It was something that I had never seen before in San Fransico. Truly beautiful.
Roger was an amazing tour guide- informative, friendly, funny, and kind to everyone he met. We loved the sites he pointed out and the details he provided. He allowed plenty of time for photos and exploration giving great recommendations for food in Sausalito. Highly recommend!!
The meet up location was easy to find. Our tour guide, Per was knowledgeable and helpful. It was a nice way to tour the city annd the Golden Gate Bridge. Our tickets to Muir Woods was included since we bought it through Viator and we realized most people on the tour had to buy their own ticket.
Barry was a great tour guide. Exceeded expectations!! Saw many San Francisco sights. Accommodated everyone’s needs.
Had an excellent experience with tour guide Mr. Roger. All in our party appreciated his knowledge and passion for the Bay Area! Highly recommended the tour as a tourist or local. Roger adds local knowledge that makes it a memorable experience. He gave helpful hints on photo opportunities and things to do!
Guide Jake was fantastic. Very informative and knowledgeable. I especially liked that he found something to talk to everyone about regarding their home places. Loved Muir Woods in particular but it was really well worth going on this tour. For me my time was really limited and it was great to get all the expert knowledge of San Francisco.
Notre guide-chauffeur Selly a été excellent. Il a beaucoup de connaissance, est très intéressant. On a visité différents quartier de San Francixco. Ensuite nous nous sommes dirigés vers Muir Woods, endroits impressionnant, calme et ressourçant. Très beauté sinueuse à flanc de montagne. Nous avons lunché à Sausalito, belle petite ville sur le bord de la mer. Ensuite, embarquement pour Alcatraz qui est très impressionnant et intéressant.
