Sophie we enjoyed our time with you so much! We were in Paris for a week and our time with you was the highlight. We learned history and saw the buildings and streets in a different light. Without you we would have just walked past these things without notice. We felt as if we were enjoying Le Marais with a good friend. So relaxed but informative and fun! To you reader, if you are visiting and seek an informative tour in a small group with a warm and knowledgeable guide look no further! You have found her!

Well, Sophie. What can I say . . . we ALL loved you! You made the day magic for all of us – and we had the best fun. You pitched it perfectly between a bit of history and lots of ice creams, coffee, those galettes, those merveilleux, the carousel – everything was the BEST and looking out for those Flash Invaders was inspired. Ferdie was obsessed! The Couloir Verte, the Arene de Lutece – so much of Paris that I didn’t know existed. So this is just the hugest THANK YOU – from us all. You will forever be a part of our special mad weekend (TWO buggies!!!) celebrating my birthday. And one day, I would like to come back and have a proper grown up tour – wouldn’t that be wonderful.

My daughter Grace and I were so fortunate to have spent time with Sophie in Paris visiting Musée d'Orsay. Sophie was so lovely. It was like we were visiting a museum with an old friend who is extremely knowledgeable in art, history, culture and food! She was so welcoming, engaging and warm. We had such a fun morning together exploring, talking and learning all about the incredible works of art the museum displays. I wish we could have toured all of Paris with Sophie. Our experience at Musée d’Orsay was unlike any other museum tour I have ever done. She helped us to discover and understand works of art in a new and unique way. Sophie is the ultimate master guide. I look forward to when we can return to Paris and enjoy the other tours that Sophie offers.

We booked Sophie through a past colleague of mine. She was responsive, helpful and accommodating of our dates. We wanted a food tour in the true neighborhoods of Paris. We were treated to so much more - we got to see first hand how pastries were made, tasted some of the best chocolate, went to the market to try oysters and foie gras. We had a few more amazing desserts before heading for a delightful lunch! We loved her so much that we didn’t want the tour to end. She had to go but not before helping chart out a walking tour of our own in Les Marais. We met up later again that evening for cocktails, and it was there, we decided to book a morning tour to Monmartre in a few days time. We were lucky with the weather and the crowds! She truly was the most genuine, knowledgeable and personable guide that we’ve come across in our travels. Sophie helped make our trip so memorable and we hope to see her again on our next trip!

My husband and I had the privilege to tour the Marais with Sophie and it was a high point of our Paris stay. Sophie is kind and engaging. It felt as if we were hanging out with a good friend. The food we sampled was delicious and the people we met very gracious. Run don’t walk to book a tour with her. It’s worth every penny.

My husband and I had a wonderful time as Sophie helped us explore Montmarte. We enjoyed sweets, cheese, and meats, and savory treats. We walked all around the Sacre-Couer Basilica and all around the neighborhood. Sophie was knowledgable and lovely!

We loved our two tours with Sophie! She took us through Montmartre and we learned so much about the areas history. We were able to avoid large crowds and see so much more than you would with a bus group. The next day we did a food tour (support local!) and shopped at a Flea market. If you don’t book a tour with Sophie - are you even in Paris???!!?? Five stars is not enough! This is a MUST DO!!

Our family of 5 (including 2 teens and a 7 year old) thoroughly loved our time with Sophie! It was the perfect balance of experiencing local culture, learning about history and contemporary Paris, and tasting local food and drinks. Sophie was able to keep the teens engaged with our visit to the flea market while our 7 year old was on the lookout for tile art scattered throughout the city - all while throwing in historical events and abundant information about the city. Sophie is charming and so personable, a natural born guide. We really cherished our time with her!

Our family of five enjoyed the food walking tour with Sophie. Three boys (18-10 yrs old) stayed engaged and learned so much about Paris cuisine and history. Highly recommend.
