Your tour begins at Fisherman's Wharf, where you meet your local guide and board your minibus. Over the course of the day, you get a look at the city's diverse neighborhoods and geography, stopping at several locations to take beautiful photos and learn about the history of the city and current events through the eyes of a local.

You will travel through North Beach, also known as Little Italy, where sidewalk cafes line busy streets. You will get to see the markets and souvenir shops of Chinatown; visit the art and landmarks where the Summer of Love began in the Haight-Ashbury; see the 'Painted Ladies' victorians, known for their appearance in the 'Full House' intro; and get a glimpse of Pacific Heights, one of the city's most affluent neighborhoods where large homes have excellent views of San Francisco Bay (the house from 'Mrs. Doubtfire' is also here), among others.

The adventure then continues across the Golden Gate Bridge to the picturesque enclave of Sausalito for a lunch break, before heading to Muir Woods National Monument, where you have an hour to stroll through the majestic forest of ancient redwood trees.

Your tour ends with return to your starting point at Fisherman's Wharf.

Not Sure How to Title

The locations covered were exceptional. We got to see a lot of San Francisco and surrounding areas. The tour guide, perhaps, needs some guidance about what types of information to impart to his passengers. I’m trying to be kind, yet constructive… He was a fountain of knowledge about the surroundings, but dint know when to pause and take a breath. Too many unnecessary comments about bathroom conditions, political views and lots of unnecessary chatter.

Hi cvocelle we are sincerely sorry that this tour did not live up to expectations. We take this feedback very seriously and wish to speak to the guide of your tour to make sure that this type of experience can be avoided moving forward. Can you email us privately at info@dylanstours.com? The "Ultimate Day in the Bay" tour is a long day and we do our best to pack in as many sites as possible (including over an hour in Muir Woods and lunch in Sausalito). In comparison to some other tour companies, each of our guides are locals who do their best to share their favorite stories, history, and recommendations for the rest of your stay. Having said that, we wish for our guides to not share their politics or unnecessary chatter on tours . Furthermore, it is unfortunate that a guide's anecdotes or any information are spoken when they don't add to a guest's experience. Again, we appreciate your honest feedback as it truly helps us to make improvements moving forward. Sincerely, Billy

I would say, the very first thing to do in San Francisco is go to the Muir Woods with Capitan Roger, he provided really good information, before started your vacation, he took you so many places to stop and take pictures that give you a chance to do the rest by yourself or choose to comeback. Roger thanks for the suggestion of the dinner place 5⭐️ The Peruvian Mom

Very great tour! Ro was amazing and provided many insights into San Francisco and the surrounding areas. Like the other comments mentioned, the only negative thing I can say is the lack of time spent in Sausalito. They say it’s enough time for a sit down lunch but only if you want to be rushed through your meal. I wished this tour offered a return ferry option like some others do to offer more flexibility in this regard.

My husband and I loved this tour! Roger was our guide and he was so fun and knowledgeable about the city. This was a great way for us to see and do so many things in San Francisco in a short period of time, and gave us the opportunity to see what spots of the city we liked best so that we could go back to them and explore them more. We would totally recommend this tour to anyone!
