Anyone out there been to San Francisco? What are the best tours to take? We are going to be there for 4 days and want to make the best use of our time.

We recently spent 5 nights in San Francisco. We were visiting our son, but it was also our first time in San Francisco. I highly recommend taking a tour of the city when you arrive. We took a tour with Mr. Toad's Tours, a 3-hour tour in a vintage car, that shows you the highlights of the city. It gave a very good overview, and then you can decide what you'd like to go back and visit. There are also hop on-hop off doubledecker buses as an alternative. You can buy a day pass or a pass good for several days. A trip to Alcatraz is also a must, but book it online in advance as it fills up quickly, especially in the summer.

Stroll Fisherman's Wharf and eat chowder from bread bowls, check out the museum ships. Take the ferry tour to Alcatraz. We got BART passes and spent several hours riding around. We saw Chinatown, the Presidio, North Beach, Haight Ashbury, etc. I wish you could spend some week days and see more, We love it. Have a wonderful, romantic weekend.
