I’ve lived in San Francisco since 1967 & you have nailed a lot of things to see. One thing to do at night is to visit the Tonga Room in the lower part of the Fairmont hotel with its Polynesian decor & excellent style drinks plus a band the floats out on what us to be the swimming pool of the Hotel. A place you will always remember. Don’t forget to visit Golden Gate Park with many things to see & do plus visit the Japanese Tea Gardens & enjoy some tea.
For sure walk across the Golden Gate Bridge. Dress warm!
When you meet an attractive woman make sure she doesn't have an Adams apple. Unless, of course, you're looking for a hot chick with an Adam's apple.
The best video about San Francisco. Thank you 😊
day trip to Muir Woods too
fantastic post ! never knew the fog caused delays at sfo.
Don't step in 💩 X 11.
Real San Francisco natives call it Frisco but you should call it San Fran loudly and often.
I want to be there
Please don’t ever call our beloved city “SAN Fran”. You’ll get punched in the mouth by a local for saying it. It’s San Francisco, SF OR THE CITY
This is a copy and paste from my own comment in another video:
Have to agree with theft. Crime, specifically burglaries have been skyrocketing over the years. If you're a tourist absolutely DO NOT leave anything you value in your car. I've lived here over 40 years and theft is unreal here. Don't leave suitcases, backpacks, anything of value in plain view. If possible, DO NOT rent an SUV or mini van as those get broken in the most. Thieves can spy into the back and it's an easy smash and grab. There is NO area in the city where car break ins do not happen, it's everywhere rich or poor neighborhoods it doesn't matter.
This seems to be a very charming place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future when all this is over. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much!
As a local I'd say you can skip Fisherman's Wharf entirely, though I will admit that Musee Mecanique is pretty fun.
In n out fisherman’s warf is a whole different vibe.
OK, Mark Twain never said that. Yeah, it's foggy here frequently. Please do not get clam chowder in a bread bowl, please. Don't eat at In-N-Out, there are much better burgers in many restaurants.
Just a disgusting city. The child trafficking, murders, cults, politicians . It’s a horrible place.
This didn't age well
I went in 97 homelessness was a major issue.
I can only imagine how much worse it is.Sounds like S.F.is a major shit hole now.
#1 thing to do in S.F take a Sh*t on the street….Everyone's doing it !
This travel guide is really just based on what u find on online.
Please don't fly in SouthWest Airlines, Nightmare Airlines.
Anyone that knows the Bay Area that SF is basically a homeless capital, name a street that doesn’t have shit on it. I lived in Cole valley, and Oakland. Just sad the income disperaties and much happier not living there anymore.
1. Don't
Did you show the piles of shit on the streets from the homeless?
This is one of my top 10 places in the US that I will never go to, along with NY and Portland.
Hey Mr. Chris…..I'm on vacation this week and checking out some of your old videos. This one on SF you did over 2 years ago is great, however you are evil for saying the hot fudge on the Sundaes was to die for? lol I now want one. lol See you later on your live stream. :-0
thank you for the inspiration ! We made it, see you on our chanel 😉
Thank you, Mr. Smug, for your detailed description of San Francisco – with just a passing reference to its thousands of homeless residents. Perhaps you can next do Paris without the Eiffel Tower or Rome without the Vatican.
Great videos! Very informational and fun
Another vlogger tourist saying “San Fran” 🤦🏻♂️
Man cable cars wasnt running when i just went for Memorial Day. Said COVID-19 was the reason.
Hi Chris
Irish fan here looking for your tips on where to stay in san francisco for 3 nights before heading on to hawaii for a week. we would like to sight see mostly, thank you 🙂
the tenderloin it’s where it’s at.
can’t believe you omitted that!
i found this video really helpful, thank you for your content! (:
Never ever leave valuables unattended in your car and always be aware of your surroundings (just like you do whenever you travel to any big city). Keep these in mind always and you will enjoy your trip.
I always wondered how high end Union Square is but its right next to Tenderloin??
Cable cars $7 per ride! Omg! I used it to get to school.. it was 0.25 cents per ride. Well it ain’t the ‘50s any more.
I dont think i could eat a burger at 11am
Thanks!You did a great job,and cover so much in under 20 minutes.I've been to SF quite a few times yet have missed Chinatown and North beach.I do hope to return and see them.Keep making more Vlogs!
Didn't he say that Union Square is next to the Tenderloin? Idk if I would feel safe there.
unfortunately no more fog these days…
You missed Lombard Street and the Ferry Building 🙂
I heard from someone that Fishermen's Warf was a high crime area. Is there any truth to that?
0. don't call it "san fran" — local san franciscan
Most important of San Francisco.. it's expensive asf
Mark Twain never actually said that.
Nobody from SF calls it "San Fran" – you will immediately be flagged as an annoying try-hard tourist. If you want to blend in with the locals, call it "The City," "SF," or you can not be lazy and just say "San Francisco."
As a local, I wanted to add:
– EVERYONE wants to ride the cable cars, but think of it as just another bus line. There will be huge (HUGE) lines at both stops at the end of the line where the cable cars turn around, but like any bus you can also hop on from stops along the route and there's no line, though you'll have less seating options.
-This video has very touristy suggestions. Honestly I would avoid Pier 39 at all costs, I try to never take family there when they visit. It is all chain restaurants and overpriced gift shops. Go to Golden Gate Park, Ocean Beach, Baker Beach, or rent bikes and ride through the Presidio.
– A high percentage of workers commute to and from the city due to high costs of housing, very few actually live in SF. This means that you should avoid being on the roads between 6-8AM coming westbound or into SF and 4-6PM headed eastbound or out of SF, especially on Friday afternoons and especially if you aren't familiar with Bay Area traffic
– If you are here in the Spring or Summer try to see a Giants game – even if you aren't a baseball fan they have cheap bleacher seats and the food and views are amazing.
– Please realize just how big the Bay Area is – it is not just a day trip to the Napa Valley or Monterey, expect to spend over 4 hours in the car round trip either place
– There are a lot of discount hotels available throughout the city – beware that if it is a small hotel you run the risk of living in basically a tenement walkup with paper thin walls and the tiniest room you've ever seen. These are all over discount hotel sites.
– Don't underestimate how long the Golden Gate Bridge will take to walk across – it's almost two miles long and then you have to walk back 😄
