Customer Reviews

Access is the best tour book

If you are planning to travel anywhere that has a Access guide available for it. There is no, better way to find great local eateries or shops that will appeal to your personal tastes than the Access guides. I bought every guide available for my last trip and The Access guide is the one I ended up using the most, while I was there. While I have not gone to san francisco yet, the book is set up with the same format and helpful info as all the other access guides.

A true insider's guide

The very best part of this book are the SF residents' (Dianne Feinstein, Shirley Fong-Torres, Herbert Gold, Wolfgang Puck, William Stout and others) recommendations. Residency in a city affords one the opportunity to discover the best of the best -- and, oh, are these suggestions good. Plus, the suggested walking tours described in the back of the book provided the perfect amount of information, just enough to incite interest without giving away the experience. This book is so good that I'm ordering an updated copy.

Best guide to San Francisco that I have used.

I have visited SF many times but never was able to get a clear picture in my mind of the different neighborhoods. This book's presentation of splendid neighborhood maps (and comments on the architecture and history) has allowed me to get a hold on the city which I much appreciate.

The best for any traveler.

I could be a guide myself but nobody does a better job than Wurman. Current information with all the color, history and geography you'll ever need for a great visit to San Francisco. This is the must book for a happy traveler.

The travel book that has it all.

In the spring of 1996, I traveled to the Bay Area with a friend for what would turn out to be the vacation of a lifetime, thanks to San Francisco Access guidebook. SFAccess was the best read material of the week. It outshined all other tourist info and guide books that we had. The reviews and suggestion were right on. I have increased my collection of Access books to now include the London and Paris editions. I can't imagine that I would have made it around each of these cities, or enjoyed my vacation as much, without these guides. I am going back to SF in a few weeks and I am buying the new edition of SF for the trip. And hope to add the Italy edition next year. I put my seal of approval on Access travel books.
