About Things to Do in San Francisco
An independent guide that helps you choose the right San Francisco tours, tickets and day trips, and book them without surprises.
Who we are
Things to Do in San Francisco is written by the Things to Do in San Francisco editorial team. We are not a tour operator and we don't sell tours ourselves: we compare what the booking platforms offer and send you to the one that fits.
How we pick tours
- What people search for. Every page answers a real search, such as "Alcatraz tours" or "Muir Woods", and the questions people ask about it.
- What the tour actually offers. Route, duration, group size, pickup and the cancellation terms, read from the tour's own page.
- Track record. Rating and number of reviews as shown on GetYourGuide. We prefer tours with many reviews over a perfect score from a handful.
- Who it suits. Each tour gets a plain "who it suits" line and one sentence on why we picked it, so you can rule a tour in or out quickly.
Where the facts come from
Tour prices, durations and ratings come from GetYourGuide and were checked on 22 October 2026. Opening times, ticket prices and travel times come from the official sites of the attractions and transport operators, linked on each page. Hotels were checked on Booking.com. Prices change, so the booking page always has the final word.
How the site earns money
