About the Business
San Francisco by Gilles offers high-quality guided tours of San Francisco, off the beaten path, exclusively in French. Whether you choose a full-day or half-day tour, in a group or privately, the option to customize your experience is available.
Away from the crowds, in small groups, your guide will feel like a friend showing you around his city. From the calm waters of the bay to the waves of the Pacific, from the imposing buildings of Downtown to the residential neighborhoods, from the hilltops to the valleys, your guide will share his in-depth knowledge and fascination for the "City by the Bay".
Throughout the tour, your guide will introduce you to San Francisco through its history, geography, bay, islands, multicultural and multiethnic population, important and eccentric characters, colorful architecture, skyscrapers and Victorian houses, bridges and stairs, alleys and parks, love stories and betrayals, scams and scandals, discriminatory and liberating laws, secrets, myths, historical realities, and the whims of Mother Nature. These and many other topics will make San Francisco come alive before your eyes.
Our guided tours are urban hikes, offering a more personalized and intimate alternative to the typical crowded tours by big tourist buses. Some of our discovery walks cleverly combine walking with public transportation, allowing you to experience a memorable ride on a Cable Car or historic streetcar.
A tour with San Francisco by Gilles is a unique and unforgettable opportunity to immerse yourself in the real San Francisco with a private French guide. Perfect for a family or friends outing, our groups are limited to 4 to 10 people maximum.
If you wish to make modifications to an existing private tour or create a customized tour that suits your preferences, we are more than happy to accommodate your needs!

Reviews
"Our association located in Boston ordered Gilles for a virtual tour of San Francisco. Gilles presented us with 'Summer of Love'. For 1.5 hours, we were transported some 50 years back and 3000 miles west! We loved letting ourselves be carried away by a colorful, interactive, and extremely documented presentation. Gilles is passionate and knowledgeable about the history and identity of San Francisco. And above all, Gilles is so friendly!"
"Gilles gave a great virtual conference which showed how much he knows local history but also the passion and energy to share it with enthusiasm. We will definitely contact Gilles for a visit to SF once my family can come visit us again!"
"Gilles not only introduced us to these two neighborhoods but managed to tell us their story, putting the events in context, all in a tone that was both humorous and serious. These 3.5 hours of visit flew by and Gilles adapted his speech to the group. Thank you Gilles for all the anecdotes told with passion. If you want to know the neighborhoods of San Francisco, we really recommend Gilles. It was an afternoon of pure joy!"
"Colleagues from France were passing through San Francisco. Gilles organized a great tour of the Castro district for us, complete with San Francisco history! Gilles is extremely cultured, it was a real pleasure!"
"Excellent Tour of Nob Hill/Cable Car. Gilles knew how to excite us and make us want to join him soon for other discoveries of San Francisco."
