Package tours and private tours

There are many options for touring San Francisco: Private tours, package tours and of course self-guided tours.

Here are some tips for booking a package tour of San Francisco:

Does the San Francisco Tour include activities you're interested
How much walking are you expected to do
How much free time will you have to visit each of the sites on your San Francisco Tour

What is included in the price of the tour. If you are expected to tip your tour guide, how much expected?
