Customer Reviews

great for retirees5
Although we love to travel,being on a fixed income has dampened our plans. What a surprise to be able to visit the City on the Bay and not go over budget! We saw plenty of city sights,ate at great restaurants and didn't go broke on accommodations. Wish we had this book years ago.

I wish I had this book years ago5
Ms. Solomon has found all the activities that are the reasons we love to live in a culturally rich city like San Francisco. She writes about some of my favorite spots, but also so many things I never found on my own. I wish I had read this years ago. Buy this book and plan to fill your calendar!

an up-to-date guide for locals and vistors alike!5
The book contains a number of
cheap/free ideas for those visiting
the city, including terrific suggestions
for shopping. Definitely recommended
for both parents and singles.
