Muir Woods Full Day tour With Dylan's Tour
kwiemiller, October 2026
We went on the full-day Muir Woods tour, and our guide, Dylan, was amazing! We had the best time listening to his stories and learning about the history of San Francisco as we drove around the city. Despite it being Fleet Week, traffic wasn’t terrible, and Dylan did a fantastic job keeping us on schedule while making sure we enjoyed every stop. Our time in Sausalito was wonderful! We had delicious burgers at Napa Valley Burger Company and still had time to walk around and explore the town. Muir Woods was absolutely beautiful, peaceful, and even better than we expected. We can’t say enough good things about this tour, and especially Dylan! He was knowledgeable, entertaining, and made the entire experience so enjoyable. If you’re visiting San Francisco, I highly recommend booking a tour with Dylan’s Tours! Thank you, Dylan, for such a memorable day!
Response from the operator · dylan415
Hi! Dylan will appreciate this, especially the kind words about keeping the day on track during Fleet Week. We’re glad you had time to enjoy Sausalito and Muir Woods while still seeing so much of the city. That’s what we aim for with our Full-Day Tour. Thanks for making Dylan’s Tours part of your San Francisco visit!
