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Sophie shared an in depth knowledge of Notre Dame interior and exterior with pertinent biblical, historical references with a broad base of knowledge.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.
