Tipping is always confusing for me in USA, I usually give 10-15% in restaurants and $1 per order in pubs
At Pier 43 we saw the kiosk/stop(pic 2) of Motorized Cable Cars (Gray Line) that can also organize for you deluxe city tours, day trips to Sausalito or Wine Country, Yosemite Evening Tour and Bay Cruises. We didn’t use them but you can check their site: www.grayline.com/Grayline/destinations/us/sanfrancisco.go
We used Tower Tours (pic 3) because they have some nice city tours and other organised day trips like:
Grand City Tour ($47), San Francisco by night ($72), Muir Woods & Sausalito ($49), Wine Country($65), Monterey & Carmel($71), Yosemite($137) etc
We did the Winery Tour with them and we were 100% satisfied with them. They are located at 865 Beach Street at Ghirardelli Square but probably you can book through your hotel like we did and they will pick you up from your place. www.towertours.com
