A few practical points from the freetour.com page are worth knowing before you reserve a place.

Language. The tour runs in Spanish only. Anyone in your party who does not speak Spanish will not be able to follow the guiding.

Pace and access. The tour is described on freetour.com as suitable for people with reduced mobility and for families with children. The total time on foot is 2 hours 15 minutes.
Pets. The tour is described on freetour.com as pet-friendly. Dogs can join, though a city-centre group walk is worth considering if your animal is uneasy in crowds.

Duration	Language	Meeting point	What it costs
2 hours 15 minutes	Spanish	Union Square, corner of Post and Powell Streets	Free, pay what you want

What to bring. No items are listed as required on the freetour.com page. Anything you would normally carry on a morning city walk of 2 hours 15 minutes is a reasonable baseline.
After the tour. Every participant receives the 'Manual of San Francisco' by email, with suggestions on where to go, eat and drink. The guide sends it once the walk has finished.

Common issues. The freetour.com page flags no extra fees and no minimum attendee requirement, which addresses the two common worries about free tours: surprise costs and a minimum group threshold. There is no hotel pickup; the walk starts at Union Square and you make your own way there. For anything the page does not cover, such as group size or cancellation steps, contact the operator through freetour.com before booking.
