Choose two or three main attractions.
Balboa Park can fill an entire day without another cross-town stop. If the group adds Mission Bay, the waterfront or another neighborhood, allow enough time to travel and regroup.
Check current hours, admission policies and group reservation requirements directly with each attraction.
Use the exact entrance and loading point.
Large parks and museums may have several entrances. Put the specific building, lot or passenger zone in the itinerary so the driver and group are working from the same place.
Account for guests who need easier boarding, mobility assistance or a shorter walk.
Leave room for meals and weather.
A museum visit can run longer than expected, and outdoor plans can change with heat or rain. Keep one stop removable and protect the most important reservation.
Choose a meal stop that works for the group rather than hoping a large party can walk in together.
