Sophie is an amazing tour guide. My family and I spent three days with Sophie exploring Paris. We did a tour of the Ilse de la Cite and the history of how Paris was built, we did a tour of Monmartre and the 9eme arrandessment, and we did a tour of the east side of Paris, focusing on foods and finishing with the Marais district.
Each tour was very thoughtfully designed, and Sophie’s knowledge of Paris was on full display. Sophie is engaging and our 13 year old daughter was even fully engaged the entire time.
Sophie has a great sense of showing you the sights and locations that could be easily overlooked by visitors, and shows you some of the more unique and beautiful streets hidden in plane sight.
I highly recommend using Sophie whether it’s your first time to Paris or have been multiple times. You’ll discover parts of the city that you never knew about and you will enjoy her charming personality the entire time. It’s certainly money well spent.

The most wonderful tour of unseen Paris
This was absolutely a highlight of our trip! Sophie could not be anymore adorable. She asks a few questions about the group and just instantly gets the vibe and provides the absolute best tour possible. She is so wonderful. We also would have never seen this area of Paris if it was not for this tour and the entire group loved it.

First time in Paris
We had the absolute pleasure of touring Paris with Sofie, and I can confidently say it was one of the highlights of our entire trip. As a lifelong Parisian, Sofie brought an unmatched depth of knowledge and authenticity to every step of our journey. What truly set her apart was how she blended storytelling with visual context, using her iPad to show historical photos, maps, and artwork that made the city’s architectural and cultural evolution come alive right in front of us. It felt like we weren’t just seeing Paris, we were understanding it.
Beyond her incredible insights, Sofie’s personality made the experience unforgettable. She was warm, engaging, and genuinely invested in making sure my wife and I felt welcome and appreciated. It never felt like a scripted tour. Instead, it felt like being shown around by a passionate friend who loves her city. One of the most special aspects of the tour was how she guided us beyond the typical tourist spots. Sofie introduced us to hidden corners and local experiences we never would have found on our own, giving us a true glimpse into everyday Parisian life.
If you’re looking for a meaningful, immersive, and personal way to experience Paris, Sofie is simply exceptional. We couldn’t recommend her more highly.

Family visit - Musée d'Orsay
Magnificent family experience for the discovery or rediscovery of the Musées d'Orsay. Sophie puts at ease and takes the time to explain things, lay the foundations of the art as well as animate relentlessly during the 2 hour visit. Dynamic and warm, Sophie possesses a real gift in the narration of Art.

The Louvre and more with Sophie
Two couples will never forget their highlights of the Louvre tour with Sophie. She met us at our hotel at 8:30 and had us inside the Louvre just moments after its 9:00 AM opening. For the next 2.5 hours, while Sophie steered us through an increasingly crowded museum, we felt like we were being guided by a very smart friend, someone who was both very knowledgeable and great company. She was extremely well-prepared, utilizing maps and graphics on her tablet to illuminate what we were seeing on the ground. Her approach placed the artworks and architecture of the Louvre in historical context. In particular, we loved seeing, and walking through, the walls of the orignal fortress, uncovered in the last expansion of the Louvre - something we would have completely missed if left to ourselves.
As a bonus, Sophie provided us with narrated, linked, step-by-step maps that took us to and walked us through her neighborhood, le Marais. Our ensuing walk through Marché d’Aligre, la Coulée Verte, and Place des Vosges, among other locations, allowed us a delightful taste of Parisian life. If we ever get back to Paris, we’ll ask Sophie to give us a more in-depth view of her neighborhood and city.
In short, we couldn’t have asked for more in a tour guide. Sophie is the whole package: warmth, energy, knowledge, and thorough preparation. We would gladly have spent more time in Sophie’s Paris.

Great tour with Sophie
Great tour experience with Sophie.
She’s very knowledgeable, full of entertaining stories to share about the neighbourhoods we crossed.
She’s very dynamic, smiling and made the tour a very enjoyable moment.
We’ll book Sophie for another tour as soon as we’re hitting back Paris.

Best way to experience Paris!
Amazing first full day in Paris with Sophie! Not only did we go to neighborhoods we likely wouldn’t go ourselves but learned a lot about French history. She also took us to some great spots for food throughout the day and gave us some cool recommendations for the rest of our stay in Paris. Highly recommend!!

Atypical Food Tour - Perfect Away from All the Tourists
Sophie was a pleasure and a highlight during our trip to Paris. We took the “off the beaten path” food tour with her where she brought us to local Parisian-owned cafes & bakeries that were not typical tourist hot spots. I love her care for locale fare and bringing to light the voices of the people living within the neighborhoods through their food. We got to go the behind the scenes and learn more about the heart and passion behind creating their specialty foods. Sophie is well-versed in the history and incorporates it while we walked from place to place. We got more than we anticipated from this tour.
She even left us a list of her favorite list of vintage stores for our daughters to checkout.
I highly recommend Sophie when exploring Paris!!

The BEST Paris tour guide!
Sophie is the absolute best! She helped me plan our trip to Paris and it was amazing. She took us on an off the beaten path food tour and vintage shopping in Le Marais, we also spent an afternoon with her in Montmarte, she provided walking tours that we did on our own, restaurant bookings at the most amazing places and put us in contact with others for museum tours and a cruise on the Seine. She also suggested breweries that were not touristy which we loved! It was great to be with Sophie and listen to her as she is very knowledgeable, we never needed to pull out a map or wonder what a certain building was. I cannot recommend Sophie highly enough, she is a true gem!!
