Atypical Food Tour - Perfect Away from All the Tourists
jeannieb851, Dec 2024
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!!
Best Guide We've Ever Had!!

Sophie was amazing!!! I'd give her more stars if possible.
We went to Paris on the back end of a 3 week vacation. Our youngest daughter had always wanted to go to Paris and Sophie made the experience exceptional.
Sophie was very flexible to cater to what we wanted to do. We combined the food/market tour with the vintage shopping tour on our first day. It was an amazing look in the Parisian life in a part of the city that most tourists don't visit. It was also very clear that Sophie had terrific relationships with the various vendors, shop owners and chefs that added to the personalized experience.
Sophie's knowledge of Paris was also very evident as she provided interesting context on the historical aspects of the City as well as current pop culture and the impact on the citizens of Paris. Much of that intersection came on our 2nd day with Sophie on our tour of the Island of Paris (including viewing Notre Dame).
Not only did Sophie provide us with amazing tours, she was also eager to assist us with any other arrangements for our time in Paris. She was happy to book us a lunch at one of her favorite cafes as well as provide recommendations for restaurants, shopping and cool coffee spots.
I have told all our friends about Sophie and would absolutely recommend her as your guide to all things Paris!!
Easy, engaging and fun!

Fun, relaxed, interesting and engaging! Sophie was easy to communicate with and very thoughtful in her suggestions for tours. All four of us had traveled to Paris previously and everything we experienced and learned from
Sophie was fresh and new to us.
Fun and informative with a delightful guide

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!
