San Francisco packs Alcatraz, Muir Woods, Napa and the bay into day-trip range, which makes booking order matter more than anywhere else in the US. Alcatraz sells out weeks ahead, wine-country vans fill on weekends, and the best food walks in the Mission and Chinatown cap at a dozen people. Our ranking favours small groups and guides who live in the neighbourhood they walk. Outty ranks every San Francisco experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, grouped into most popular, top rated, family friendly, food and drink, culture and nightlife, so you can build the rest of the day around your Pier 39 slot.
