Sophia was amazing! We learned a lot about Notre Dame and the history, as well as the Latin Quarter area. Jardin de Luxembourg was also gorgeous. Thanks so much Sophia, your knowledge and experience was superb!

Extremely knowledgeable and great experience! Our tour guide was easy to understand and made the tour very interesting.
Sophie was very knowledgeable Her tour of the interior of Notre Dame was excellent. We enjoyed our walk around the Latin Quarter
Good your of the Latin Quarter. The guide was a local and very knowledgeable on the area. Her detail to the area and Paris in general was really helpful in understand parts history and culture. Our guide also have great history and information on Notre Dame. Very impressed with her.
Sophie shared an in depth knowledge of Notre Dame interior and exterior with pertinent biblical, historical references with a broad base of knowledge. We enjoyed the tour through the Latin Quarter, especially the Luxembourg Gardens!
This was a great tour and we really appreciated our guide! I probably would not schedule a tour during Sunday morning Mass in the future, though, as silence in the cathedral is of utmost importance during that time.
Sophia was a wonderful guide. We learned so much about Notre Dame architecture & iconography with her. Aldo lovely stroll through the Latin Quarter filled with history.
Sofia did a great job with both the cathedral and the latin quarter walk. We recommend using Sigma City Tours when in Paris.
We greatly enjoyed our tour with Sophia of the renovated Cathedral of Notre Dame and the Latin Quarter in Paris. This was the sole Trip Advisor Tour (when wwe booked) that included the interior Cathedral (rather than just the exterior). Having seen the CND prior to the fire, the repair is exquisite. Sophia was an exceptional guide to "secrets" and explanations of the Cathedral that one might not know as well as traversing the La tin Quarter and learning about its history and neighborhood culture. Helpfully, she pointed out other sites within the Quarter that we might want to visit, and suggested a couple of fun and interesting locations when on our own that afternoon. We highly recommend this particular tour: Notre Dame Mystery & Latin Quarter Walking Tour. Tres Bon.
Our tour of Notre Dame was exceptional! Sophia our tour guide was passionate, knowledgeable and very professional in not only showing us the cathedral but explaining the history and of this Paris masterpiece. We feel blessed to have meet and toured the area with her. Her background and love of the city's history and culture was refreshing.
Great walking tour of Notre Dame and the Latin Quarter with Sofia! She was very knowledgeable and told us lots of stories and history. Highly recommend this tour!
Excellent tour by an experienced guide who knew her subject matter. Sofia is a tremendous asset as a tour guide.
The information I learned during this tour was interesting. However, we weren’t given any details about the tour prior to entering Notre Dame (not even the guide’s name). We went in and followed the guide around unsure of what we should expect. After the 30 minute look around we went back outside and she gave us information regarding the inside and outside of the cathedral. It just would have been nice to have that explained to us as we went in. We wouldn’t have followed her around so much! The Latin Quarter tour was informative. I learned a lot of new information. We finished up at theLuxembourg Gardens, which was a nice end.
I was disappointed in this tour. The guide was friendly however she seemed really disinterested. We walked through Notre Dame without receiving much information. She pointed out the rose windows and a couple other art pieces. But basically just named them without explanation. I would have learned more using the Notre Dame map. There was more discussion about the outside which was more thorough and informative . The Latin quarter was just breezed through. We didn’t even hit all of the sites listed in the tour itinerary. Our guide pointed in the direction of where Shakespeare and Co was around the corner saying “ it’s down there “ We never saw it. When we got to Luxembourg Garden she brought us just inside the gate and the other couple on our tour needed to leave so she ended the tour even though there was 20 mins left I asked her where the most famous fountain was that I see in all of the brochures and she just hurriedly said there wasn’t one and I could walk around the main pond and get angles for pictures and she left. I ended up finding the fountain myself when I saw a crowd gathered taking pictures. It was just steps from where she left us and she could have brought us and discussed it like the other guides were doing, especially with the time left in the tour. We simply didn’t go to St Michel fountain at all. I don’t need a tour to just walk and point out things. For that, a map would suffice and not cost anything. I was disappointed that I spent so much money for an incomplete and shallow walk.
Amazing! Notre Dame was beautiful, and the tour guide was very knowledgeable. Great overall experience. Would definitely recommend.
Very knowledgeable. Great combination of historic facts, tips and fun facts. Would definitely recommend! Sophia was fantastic!
We really enjoyed our tour of Notre Dame and the Latin Quarter this morning in Paris. It was a small group and Sophia was a wonderful guide - she was very informative and allowed us to ask many questions which created great discussion of French history and global issues. I highly recommend.

We had an amazing experience with Sophia as our guide. She was extremely knowledgeable and informative and very engaging. We had a fabulous tour and were lucky to get inside of the cathedral.
Sophia was so knowledgeable, we learned so many interesting facts about Notre Dame and the Latin Quarter! The Luxembourg Gardens where we finished the tour was spectacular!
Sophia was amazing and had so much information and insight on the history of Notre Dame, my son is 16 and also agreed he learned so much!
Sofia is amazing and very knowledgeable! She spent time explaining and made our time at Notre Dame and the Latin Quarter memorable. Highly recommend!!!
Sophia gives you a detailed description of the Notre Dame reconstruction and its history. She takes you through the Latin quarter should Luxembourg Gardens. A beautiful area in Paris.
Sophia lovely, informative! Wonderful tour. Please note the address meeting point on trip advisor is incorrect and links to wrong location. Tour 2.5 hours, starts on time. 30 minutes inside Notre Dame and gift shop is inside at the end. Kids found the tour interesting. Walking is on flat path. Ends at the garden with bathroom but must oay 1 euro per person.
Sophia was wonderful! She knew her stuff, and how to present it. Great way for all of us to learn about the wonderful City, and we had two kids with us, ages 9 and 11.
Our guide was Sophia and she was incredible. Highly recommend this tour with her. She was very knowledgeable of Paris and we learned a lot.
We were on the tour with Sophia. She did a wonderful job and I would highly recommend her. she was very thorough and knowledgeable and worked very hard to explain the elements of the Tours clearly.
Exelent tour of Notre dame and the Latin quarters Well organize tour with good explanation of everything and you don’t feel rushed.
Sofia was amazing, very informative and knowledgeable, would highly recommend! Would want to do another of her tours.
Sophia was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions. Had a very good tour of this very old Cathedral.
Sophia was friendly and very knowledgeable. She explained in great detail many facts about the Notre Dame History and the Latin Quarter. It was a wonderful experience.
Sofia was our tour guide excellent historian great conversationalist answered all questions patiently. Would highly recommend Sofia!
The interior of Notre-Dame is entirely renovated and we would never be able to understand the Cathedral without the guide. The guide for this tour is a must if you want to know where you’re entering. Almost every feature was explained to us whether it is inside the Cathedral or outside. Notre-Dame has no secrets for our guide and we highly recommend her and the tour. We are all grateful for this incredible experience.
I will start by saying we had an AMAZING GUIDE who knew what she was talking about for our experience. The major problem was that Notre Dame is closed to tours by guides at this time so we could NOT GO INSIDE with the guide. Our guide did her best to describe the inside of the cathedral however it just wasn’t the same and my daughter and I were extremely disappointed and I feel misled by the description of the tour on the app. Our guide did tell us that we could go back and stand in the long line at another time and see the inside ourselves. This was a walking tour and one of the participants showed up with a boot on her foot after having received an injury (I believe broken) foot and it was a bit of a struggle for her to keep up a few times.
The lady guide Sophia was excellent. Explained to us about the cathedral history took us to local Street monuments and the park. Great tour.
Sophia/Sofia was really good and very knowledgeable. My partner was using crutches but she was very kind and patient with us. Safe for people with crutches to attend but not for wheelchair users as we crossed the streets and traffic lights and especially the Latin quarter that had lots of cobblestones. Lots of insider local knowledge of Notre Dame and recent events which we wouldn’t have known by googling online so definitely worth the experience. She is clearly very passionate and a true Parisian at heart, which shows in the way she explains her love for her city. Truly a unique experience for newcomers.
Tour guide was awesome. Very informative. Love that she spoke very good English. Thank you for everything. Highly recommend.
A knowledgeable guide makes the difference . Sofia knows the history , the map and interesting anecdotes of Paris and Frace
Great trip full of history. Was given even modern history along with the past. Given great recommendations for things to do and places to eat.
Tour guide was Sophia and she was just wonderful smart knew a lot pleasant to talk with and listen to. The only reason it's not a five is because I booked through Viator and there was a communication error between her tour company and them and it was a bit of a mess getting together and getting started but once we did, it was good. It was great.
She was a great guide, perfect English and great understanding of the quarters :) she was open to questions and our trip def became more interesting after this :)
Our guide was terrific - she had so much knowledge of the cathedral and Latin quarter. Would recommend this to all
Our tour guide, Sophia, was an excellent speaker and guide, happy to answer all our questions and showed a vaste base of knowledge on the Notre Dame Cathédrale and the surrounding Latin Quarter. I would recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in learning more about the history of Paris!
Great tour of Notre Dame and The Latin Quarter with Sophie. She was full of amazing historical as well as current information about the sites and area. Was so cold and gray today but Sophie had us too enthralled to be bothered by it!!! Would recommend.
Our guide, Sofia, was exceptional—knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about the history of the landmarks. She brought the stories of Notre-Dame to life, sharing fascinating details and insider knowledge that made the tour truly special. Sofia’s enthusiasm and clear explanations kept us captivated throughout. Highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to explore Paris with an expert guide!
