Hi! Welcome to Seek Sophie
We're obsessed with finding the best local guides and experiences. We only recommend what we love and hope you love them too.

We all know the struggles of finding the perfect gift for Dad, especially when he insists he wants nothing. Even if your Dad needs nothing, he won't say no to spending quality time together with you. Here are some fun ideas!

Want more? Check out all our gift ideas here!

1

Enjoy Private Dining

Here you'll enjoy a 7-8 course meal cooked by a passionate home chef, in the privacy of their lovely home. Not only will your family get to enjoy food that they can't get in restaurants, you’ll also get a cool private space all to yourself!
