This tour was excellent and executed as advertised. I highly recommend this tour and 'Sully' as your tour guide. Sully was very knowledgeable of San Francisco, Sausalito, and the surrounding area. I would take this tour again!

The drive around the city was great through all the different neighbouhoods. Loved Muir woods the air was so fresh in there. We got to see Mrs Doubtfires house on Steiner Street to loved that! We stopped in Sosolito which is a lovely town we enjoyed fish and chips and a home made icecream yummy! Then it was onto Alcatraz which was an experience. Thankyou Dylans tours for a great day :-)Stephen_R

We learnt facts and stories you just wouldn’t get by not taking a tour. The only reason we gave 4/5 is we ran out of time to cover some downtown sights before the Alcatraz ferry. Fully recommend.Brad_R

From the start Sully was superb. A rich history as we went around and great to get a tour guide who clearly loves his job and the city! Some great stops along this tour and if your lucky enough to get Sully you will get a great load of history along the way. He plays some great music too!
