I think the first and third itineraries are more suitable for seniors. Also, there are "hop on, hop off" buses and plenty of other public transportation. If you aren't into walking, I would suggest that. Solo travelers: I felt very safe wandering around on my own, but I did avoid areas that were known to have safety problems, such as the Tenderloin and Mission Districts. I also did not stay during the evening, but took day trips into the city from Burlingame (link above). If you plan to stay within the city and want to explore at night, just make sure you do some research to make sure you stay in safe areas. Iconic San Francisco Walking Tour 1. Salesforce Park 2.
