Summary: "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!

Summary: "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!

Summary: "Excellent book - lots of tips!"
Everyone knows how good Frommer's books are. The San fran version is no different. Lots of tips and tricks to help you make the most of your visit.
They also had one of the better maps for navigating San Francisco. We did the 69-mile scenic drive. It was quite interesting!!
If you're going there and you want to learn more about it: I highly recommend picking up a Frommer's guide. Always well-written and handy maps make your visit a lot smoother.

Summary: "Frommer's Rocks!"
Although I have not made my trip to San Francisco yet, I love this book. There is so much detailed information that I feel quite prepared to travel to San Francisco. The author does not mince words with his reviews of restaurants and hotels which I really appreciate. The worst thing is going somewhere and not knowing what to expect. That will not happen with this book.
