Book Description

October 7, 2005 Frommer's Complete Guides (Book 131)
You'll never fall into the tourist traps when you travel with Frommer's. It's like having a friend show you around, taking you to the places locals like best. Our expert authors have already gone everywhere you might go— they've done the legwork for you, and they're not afraid to tell it like it is, saving you time and money. No other series offers candid reviews of so many hotels and restaurants in all price ranges. Every Frommer's Travel Guide is up-to-date, with exact prices for everything, dozens of color maps, and exciting coverage of sports, shopping, and nightlife. You'd be lost without us!

Thoroughly updated every year (unlike most of the competition), Frommer's San Francisco features everything you need to know to enjoy the sights and experiences that await you in the City by the Bay. Our author, a longtime resident and noted dining critic, hits all the highlights, from Golden Gate Park to North Beach. She's checked out all the city's best hotels and restaurants in person, and will help you find the choices that suit your tastes and budget. Her honest, irreverent, and opinionated dining reviews encompass everything from the best dim sum to the freshest seafood, from affordable burrito joints and Vietnamese restaurants to trendy bistros opened by California's hottest chefs.

Look for up-to-the-minute coverage of shopping and nightlife; detailed walking tours; accurate neighborhood maps; and side trips to Berkeley, Sausalito, Muir Woods, Point Reyes, and more. There's also a detailed chapter on the nearby Wine Country, with the best wineries, inns, spas, and gourmet shopping, and the most decadent restaurants in the Napa and Sonoma Valleys. You'll even get a free color fold-out map and an online directory that makes trip-planning a snap!

This review is from: Frommer's San Francisco 2006 (Frommer's Complete Guides) (Paperback)
Very easy to read and helpful hints on the travels around the city. The map attached to the back is easy to pull out and fits in a shirt pocket. Everything you need to know before you arrive is listed in the book; i.e. walking tours, water tours, trolly tours, etc. prices are listed so if you are on a budget, you can get the best bang for your buck. Highly recommend this book and we have use Frommer's for all of our travels.

5.0 out of 5 stars Took Two, May 4, 2006

This review is from: Frommer's San Francisco 2006 (Frommer's Complete Guides) (Paperback)
$8.50 is a great price for this 360 page book. I like that it incorporates money saving ideas and answers fundamental questions for tourists. I also brought along the Golden Gate Trailblazer guide to fill in the walking section. Although there is a fair amount of information available on the internet about the San Francisco area, having these books with me as I tooled around was a necessity. The free downtown city street map provided by my hotel provided even more detail. Frommer's is very comprehensive, current, and provides a huge amount of practical guidance.

This review is from: Frommer's San Francisco 2006 (Frommer's Complete Guides) (Paperback)
I HAVE USED FROMMER'S GUIDES FOR YEARS. THIS ONE IS A POOR
CHOICE FOR THE GENERAL TRAVELER OR A PERSON WHO HAS VISITED SAN FRANCISCO BEFORE. IT ATTEMPTS TO BE TOO MUCH OF A ROUGH GUIDE TYPE GUIDE BOOK. TOO MUCH SPACE IS SPENT ON "CUTE" RESTAURANTS or B & Bs. THE LIST OF VARIOUS TYPES OF RESTAURANTS IS TOO SLANTED AND NARROW. I FINALLY FOUND A COUPLE OF LISTINGS FOR INDIAN RESTAURANTS BUT NONE IN THE BROAD GENERAL LIST AS AN EXAMPLE. THE HOTEL LIST IS TOTALLY LACKING. WOULD I RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO OTHERS FOR PURCHASE. ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!
