5.00Here is a very warm and grateful review for Sylvie Walters, founder of L’Esprit San Francisco, to post on Google: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A huge gratitude to Sylvie Walters, founder of L’Esprit San Francisco, for the exceptional experience she offers through her superb French tour agency in San Francisco. Sylvie perfectly embodies the spirit of this vibrant city: passionate, authentic, deeply attached to its region and eager to share with us all its nuggets, stories and secret corners. Thanks to his intimate knowledge of the terrain, his sense of service and his warm way of accompanying each visit, every moment becomes an unforgettable discovery. His anecdotal comments, infectious enthusiasm and attentive welcome made our stay a unique moment, much more than just a sightseeing tour. I highly recommend L’Esprit San Francisco to anyone who wants to discover this fascinating city with sense and passion.
Long live Spirit San Francisco

5.00An absolutely perfect experience from start to finish, to recommend without hesitation to Francophones who discover San Francisco for the first time. Sylvie is a passionate, very caring and highly competent guide who manages to convey tons of information and create a warm atmosphere in the group. The route is extremely well thought out: Union Square, Downtown, Chinatown, North Beach, Lombard Street, and Fisherman’s Wharf are logically linked, with no downtime, while offering stunning views of the bay, Golden Gate Bridge, and Alcatraz. The hidden streets of Chinatown, the tasting of Fortune Cookies, and stories about the 1906 Gold Rush and earthquake really make it seem like we understand the city beyond postcards. The tour is at a very pleasant pace, accessible to the whole family, with many breaks to ask questions, take photos and enjoy the panoramas. Sylvie adapts to the group, shares good addresses for the rest of the stay and gives valuable tips for continuing the discovery of San Francisco after the visit. In short, a small group tour, 100% in French, that really allows you to see the “essentials” of San Francisco while living a friendly and authentic moment. A huge thank you to Sylvie for her kindness, her communicative passion and the quality of her explanations: a must for any stay in San Francisco.

5.00First time at SF, we had a real introductory visit to our Californian stay. Sylvie completely adapted to our desires and made us a tailor-made visit that we still have an incredible memory of today. And we had plenty of tips to enjoy and discover San Francisco afterwards. Thanks again.
discover a few San Francisco neighborhoods on foot, the best way to visit!
