We completed the 8 hour tour with Dylan's tours today and it was good. Desmond was our tour guide and he did a great job. This guy was excited about his city and he made this an experience that we won't forget. Desmond took us to some really cool spots for pictures including the Golden Gate Bridge, The painted ladies, and many different neighborhoods including Chinatown. He also had some granola bars and water available for us in the van which came in handy during our tour. We arrived at the pickup location for the tour at 7:30am since the tour started at 8 am. Tip#1: I advise you to have something for breakfast before arriving because there is nothing open in the pickup area before 8:30 am. We arrived at the pickup spot and it was like a ghost town. I packed a banana and apple in my backpack for the tour. Tip #2: The pickup up location is not a building but under a white gazebo in an open area in the Fishermans wharf. We missed this in this last email that was sent to us and got lost trying to find an address on a building. Tip#3: Let them know if someone will be joining you on the tour. There were at least 3 to 4 vans that arrived to pick us up. We met my brother and his wife for the tour. Fortunately we were preassigned to the same van and the same tour guide. We stopped at several different cool spots in the city before heading out to Muir Woods. This was a nice stop and this place a must see if you have the time. After Muir Woods we stopped in Sausalito for lunch along with the other company vans that were out on the tour. Tip #4: Look for a place to eat in Sausalito prior to the trip. This is where the tour stops for lunch. There were so many shops and places to eats and these were restaurants that are all local shops. We only had 1 hour to eat and get back to the van. We ended up selecting a restaurant called "Hamburger" which was fine but not a place that I would recommend. 3 of us had burgers and I had a chicken sandwich. Just not enough time to google the restaurants in the area and read the reviews. It would be nice if Dylan's would provide the customers with a list of restaurants so that we can narrow it down to our top 2 choices in the area before the day of the tour. After lunch we made more stops throughout the city including a spectacular view of the bridge from the top of a mountain. We arrived back at the tour stop at 3:30 to ride our e-bikes. The bikes have to be turned at 6 pm. Unfortunately, we didn't have as much time as we expected to ride the e-bikes but we made it work. Recommendation: Make 1 van for customers that want to do a half-day on the e-bikes. The tour was great but we would have cut 1 hour of the tour to have more time to ride the e-bikes. Also, have the tour guide ask the customers if they plan to ride the e-bikes. There were 8 of us in the van and only 4 of us chose to ride the e-bikes. I would make the cutoff time 2:30 for the tour at the latest to allow ample time for the bikes. When we arrived at the bike shop, the guy did a great job of walking us through all of the pre-ride items including how to drive an e-bike. These bikes are nice and they can get you around the city without any problems. The drivers in San Francisco really are patient with bikers and they were very patient with us. They gave us locks to lock up the bikes when we stopped to visit some of the sites throughout the city. Try to avoid some of the congested areas while riding. There are so many great open spots to check out. Overall, this was well worth the money and I would do it again. Don't forget to tip your tour guide. 5 stars

I most definitely will recommend Dylan tours. Our tour guide, Rolando, who’s also a native of San Francisco, was the best. He really made us feel like family, instead of being tourist. He was very knowledgeable, professional, and kind. The tour that we did was the Muir Woods and city tour.

Dylan’s Tours is the best! Ask for Captain Roger — he’s funny, kind and super helpful! Lots of tour guides give facts. But Roger gave of himself. He helped my disabled son get a free National Park pass at Muir Woods. It will be good for life (thanks, Roger, we’re sure to think of you fondly whenever we use it!) and saved us park admission. He dropped us curbside at a restaurant for lunch, rather than have us walk from the local lot, because he’s just considerate that way, just a caring soul. He even bought flowers for a lady we met by chance at one of the tour stops. Just awesome. Highly recommend this tour company, and go on tour with Roger.

My daughter and I visited San Fransisco this past spring. We took the bike tour across the Golden Gate Bridge and then took the bus to Muir Woods. It was one of the best days of our spring break trip. The electric bikes were super cool. The adrenaline moment of the trip was flying downhill to Sausalito! It was also both of our first times seeing Redwoods. This was a great experience and I highly recommend it.

I do not remember the price well but I think it was like 120 per person. And it lasts about 7 hours. Esbel best tour, you will not regret it.

I'm thinking ahead to Christmas and might want to give an ebike rental gift card to my son and daughter-in-law. Can you please let me know the rental prices? Thank you Susie
