Which one of these is you?

It’s your first time in San Francisco. You want to do the “must-see” activities but want to get that true local view of the city that most tourists miss.

OR

You’ve been to (or even live in) San Francisco but have never really SEEN San Francisco. It’s time to go beyond the seals on the wharf, Alcatraz and Lombard street.

If either of these describes you, then this 2-day San Francisco itinerary is for you! You’ll see the highlights of San Francisco, but from a local’s eye.

Fisherman’s Wharf

You can’t go to San Francisco without passing through the Fisherman’s Wharf and Pier 39. But when’s the best time to go? Where can you find the best clam chowder? Did you know there’s a free museum with functional video game arcades from the 1800’s?

Chinatown

San Francisco has the largest Chinatown outside of Asia and it’s intimidating! Get a detailed walking tour showing hidden, unmarked temples, “Hole-in-the-wall” restaurants, a fortune cookie factory down a small alley, a public bathroom (a true rarity in San Francisco) and a whole lot more.

The Mission

San Francisco locals will tell you that their favorite place in the city is the Mission neighborhood, yet most tourists never even get there! You’ll have a full walking tour with this itinerary.

Did you know the oldest building in San Francisco is in the Mission? Find out more about it as well as see the famous & impressive murals, find out where an amazing free view of the San Francisco skyline is and most importantly, find out where the best Mexican food is in the city.

This is just the beginning...

There are 1-3 hour walking tours of the following areas:

Union Square
Chinatown
Haight Street
Golden Gate Bridge
Fisherman's Wharf
Golden Gate Park
The Castro
The Mission

What Others Have Said About The Itinerary:

"Huge tip about getting there early in the day [Fisherman's Wharf], I was there multiple times of day and morning was by far the most pleasant. Like I mentioned already, these tips are definitely the nuggets of gold hidden that make the guide worth it! Loved the detailed maps as well, really helps confused tourists like me! I have a great sense of direction but I'm not so good at following others directions and I figured yours out." ~ Cat C.

"We followed your itinerary pretty closely and we thoroughly enjoyed it!!! Very detailed. We really enjoyed one of the dim sum bakeries you suggested (no tables or chairs)." ~Mark H.

"The itinerary was really generous and much appreciated. Used it and had a great day yesterday!" ~Sally B.

"There were some definite handy tips like getting on the streetcar in the middle of the street. This would have saved a ton of time over waiting at the main boarding spot. The Fortune cookie place was a really cool thing to check out -- I actually just learned that fortune cookies were first made in San Fran, so I felt like I was seeing a slice of history. The old arcade was pretty awesome and I think a hidden gem (there was almost nobody there)." ~Harris H.

Still Unsure?

My email address is provided in the itinerary if you have any additional questions. I’m happy to help!

5.0 out of 5 stars Very helpful first timers guide to SF April 7 2012
By Cat - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition
On a whim, I decided to give this travel guide a try. Being a first time visitor to SF, I was overwhelmed with all the options and didn't want to miss the best of the best. Jason's guide gave me just what I needed to get started exploring the city immediately. I was able to go around the city with the confidence I was seeing the highlights and knew where to go and in an order that made sense so I wasn't wasting time.

The itinerary is laid out by time but you can definitely make adjustments to fit your style and interests. So very helpful having insider details like maps (especially in unfamiliar areas that could be intimidating), which restaurants to choose (instead of being overwhelmed by so many choices), what time of day to visit (yes, it can matter), riding the trolleys (avoiding where all the other tourists wait), photos of actual landmarks (so you know what you're looking for), and so much more. There is a lot of walking but I loved the exercise.

Almost like having your own personal guide without the cost. Can't beat the price! Even the suggestions on what to do are minimal cost or no cost overall it's a great budget itinerary that I recommend.

My husband and I are planning a trip to San Francisco and have been doing quite a bit of research. I bought this guide for my kindle, and boy am I happy I did. Love the maps and directions. The author gives his email address in case you have any questions. I emailed and received a reply in a few hours. Thanks so much. Can't wait to visit San Francisco. Excellent.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highlight of our trip July 22 2012
By Season Balik - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Our trip was planned before I borrowed this book from the Kindle Owners' Lending Library, so we were only able to use one of the itineraries; if we'd had more free time, we would have used them all! It was the highlight of our trip. Seeing Chinatown from an insider's perspective was invaluable; Jason took us to places that weren't in any guidebook and made it so easy to navigate. There are maps, photos, and clear directions from place to place. I will definitely use other Unanchor itineraries for future trips!
