Customer Reviews

Everything you need in one book!

I purchased this book originally simply to help plan out our trip and learn more about San Francisco before we went. Once we started to tour around San Francisco, we simply couldn't go anywhere without it. The bus/trolley map was extremely useful for getting around the City. When our plans changed, as they did often due to weather or just being tired, we were able to look up a place to eat or how to get home quickly. The recommendations this book made were great. We loved Cha Cha Cha's tapas and sangria and were able to learn more about where we were and what we were seeing then the average traveler. This book offered much more than I was able to find online and was an all inclusive guide to the city that we found ourselves opening very often to figure out what we were seeing or which way we should walk. MUST BUY! Great book!

Perfect guide book for weekend trip

We spent only a couple of days in the SF area. As visitors who had not been here before, we found it very useful about which places to avoid (tourist traps) and which places to see. The restaurant guide was also very helpful, not just for SF but for the surrounding towns, like Sausalito. The hotel guide was limited, but helpful, as was the information about various neighborhoods. Overall, a great book to have on hand when planning your trip!

Great Info

For first time travelers to SF its a wealth of information.I am a very big know before you go person and this book answered every question I had.

Great for Those New to San Francisco

I got this as a gift before her trip to San Francisco. She loved it and it ended up working great for her.

Invaluable!

Los Angeles tourists will greatly benefit from this updated tour guide - even temporary renovation closures are noted. The descriptions of attractions, along with hours and fees and area location are invaluable in avoiding missing key attractions because of lack of awareness. Also valuable are its inclusiveness - not just L.A. proper, but also Long Beach and the general Orange County area.
