• Staff, Food, Cycle Ride and Tour of the Bay.
• Tacky Shops and Aggressive Staff.

“This was my third trip to San Francisco and my first where I was not accompanied by my children, so my wife and I, and our two friends, had plenty of time to browse and take in the sights, sounds and smells of Fisherman's Wharf. The area still has all its charm with the fog on the Bay giving that wonderful aura and ever changing views to the whole place. The Boat trip around the Bay was delightful for only 10 Dollars and the running commentary by the Crew was humorous and informative There were Fishing trips available with a lot of big fish, salmon and halibut, being returned, although the early start of 5.15 put me off the idea of going fishing. The highlight certainly had to be the cycle ride, courtesy of Blazing Saddles' and their predominately Irish staff, who were most helpful, which saw us cross the Golden Gate Bridge and freewheel down to Sausalito. Breathtaking and exhilarating! The food on the wharf was beautiful and their shrimp sandwich, contained enough prawns, which would make you at least half a dozen prawn cocktails, back here in Ireland. The staff in all areas were typically American, helpful, friendly, mannerly and considerate. There was one exception to the rule, and that was the 'camera' shops. I went in to buy a memory card and was subjected to the most aggressive hard sell I have ever experienced, as the staff tried to sell me lenses, camera cases and anything else that would make up a so called bargain. Although I managed to extricate my self, my friend was not so lucky and succumbed to their hard sell techniques, buying a camera which was described as a 'bargain' with a memory card and a case thrown in. The next day in a downtown reputable camera shop, we saw the same camera at half the price. My lens was also available, at a quarter of the price offered the previous day. Be warned, therefore - avoid these shops like the plague!!!”
