5.0 out of 5 stars The best travel guides by far!, 18 Jan 1999
By A Customer
I've bought several of the Unofficial Guides and they are my first choice in travel books. The rating system for hotels, restaurants, and attractions makes it very easy to compare one to the other and choose whatever is appropriate for your needs. More importantly, they are upfront about what to avoid. We all know about the "best" things to see and do from the other travel guides. The Unofficial Guides let you know what's a waste of time and/or money, as well as giving you tips on how to get the best out of the "best". I buy the Unofficial Guides to get the nitty gritty on areas of town to avoid due to high crime, lack of public transportation, etc. This helps me pick a hotel in a decent area and time my sightseeing trips accordingly. Very straight forward and easy to read. I hope the authors someday write Unofficial Guides to European cities as well!!

4.0 out of 5 stars THE Unofficial Guide to San Francisco, 3 Feb 2009
By P. Holford (Nottingham, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This guide makes planning a trip to San Francisco much easier, it has clear easy to read explanations and very useful tips especially about day trips, experiences and transportation. My only complaint is that although there is a comprehensive list of hotels, there are a couple of major ones missing. Overall a useful buy and an interesting read.

3.0 out of 5 stars really disappointing, 27 Jan 2007
By travel freak (Munich,Germany) - See all my reviews
I bought this book because I hoped to find insider tips and "secret" advice that only locals know...but found none..I mean the advice is ok and reviews of the hotels and restaurants seem to be accurate as well but there was nothing you would not find in " normal" guides like lonely planet ..Ok Unofficial has ratings for hotels restaurants and attractions but you can get them from many web-sites like tripadviser and yelp..
I've been to SF before and done all the typical touristy stuff..that s why I bought this book and expected to discover hidden gems..but unfortunately found none.
This book is ok for first time visitors but there is not much more value when compared to "traditional" guides
