We went to China town last year not worth the bother;it was the worst
Chinese meal we have ever had,there are lots there , may have drawn
the short straw
ann , sorry can,t remember the name

We had great dim sum in china town, we just looked for a busy place.
There were lots of styles of places.
Also had really good vietnamese in san fran. Cant remember any name of places though.

We did a wokwiz tour very good and a great meal at the end. http://wokwiz.com

We are thinking about going to SF for the day from Vegas.

Any advice?

Yes. Alcatraz is a must, the night tour if you can. Walk to and over the Golden Gate Bridge. Muir Woods. Cheese Cake Factory on top of Macy`s. Cable car from Fishermans Wharf to Union Street. Wokwiz tour. Baker Beach. Just a day was it???

Lesley,

I might have mentioned it already but the city tour of San Francisco is probably the best in the world and would be your best bet of seeing as much of the city in one day. Try and include the ticket with an Alcatraz Tour as well.

There are a number of city tours available. Try and find one which includes all of the wharf, downtown area including Chinatown, a stop off at a mission (not essential though), Twin Peaks, Golden Gate Bridge (you might not have the time to walk it), vistas from across the bay (views of the city and bridge are outstanding) and Sausalito. Get a ferry back to the Wharf from Sausalito. Do your Alcatraz tour and then hop on a cable car from the Wharf down to Union Square.

That would be an ideal introduction to San Francisco.

That is so true, we only went on the tour as it was the only way to get to Alcatraz (all tickets were sold out for the 3 days we were there ) but both thought afterwards it was the best part of the holiday, had a great driver which always makes the tour and saw lots of things we never would have normally. I assume you are flying up if you are just going for the day as its quite a drive, we did it fron SF to Vegas and it took around 7 hours with 1 stop for food on the way

Can anyone provide any names or links to tour companies you would recommend? Looking for any that would incorporate Alcatraz amongst other things but would like to see as much as possible.

To prevent this going off topic please post any questions about Alcatraz HERE where there is a link to book direct.
