A Memorable Walk Through Montmartre

Chibu_T, Mar 2026
I did the Montmartre walking tour in Paris with Keara and it was amazing! She knows so much about the history, art, and hidden spots of the neighborhood. Keara was friendly, easy to talk to, and made the tour fun and interesting. I loved hearing the stories about the artists and seeing parts of Montmartre I never would have found on my own. Highly recommend this tour if you want a personal and memorable experience!

Interesting Montmatre District

Jennifer_R, Mar 2026
Wendy was a great tour guide highlighting Montemartre district. We were having all kinda of challenges but was able to join! Thank you Wendy for sharing the beauty and history of Montemartre district. Wear your walking shoes as the streets were not smooth.

Fabulous! Amazing! Wow!

Tammy_D, Nov 2022
Tour guide, Alberto I think, was amazing! Knowledgeable, funny, great story teller, informative, charming! A very packed 2 hours ! An excellent deal!

Thom is the Bomb

Erin_G, Oct 2022
Thom was the bomb! He was engaging and gave an awesome tour for a variety of ages. Great walking tour of Montmartre - would highly recommend for any travelers looking to see that area and with some history and context. Don’t forget tip cash, and make time to spend strolling the cafes and shops at the top of the hill.

Great tour of Montmartre with an entertaining guide.

Norman_B, Oct 2022
Our tour of Montmartre featured numerous stops in the area that were fun to see as well as the magnificient Sacre Couer at the top of the walk. Our guide, Daiwa, was very informative, and added many entertaining anecdotes regarding many of the sites.

Dawie the superb!

Sonny_W, Oct 2022
Dawie is a great knowledgeable guide and funny. We were tired but his notable commentary of hidden stories of Montmartre kept us active all along. Wish we have such a resourceful guy for other tours that we had!

Wonderful walking tour of Montmatre

Ruth_C, Oct 2022
Our tour guide was Alberto and he was fantastic. He really helped bring alive the history of Montmatre not just walking around and pointing at buildings. The stories he told were interesting. We found Alberto to be knowledgeable and personable. Highly recommend the tour and the tour guide.

History and Art

Neil_B, Oct 2022
This tour is for both history and art lovers. This district supplied food and wine for Parisians in ancient times. It was a stronghold for both Christians and Revolutionists. In later years, it was a favorite place for Impressionist artists who lived in the area and frequented the cafes.

Beautiful Tour, Excellent Guide

Shane_D, Sep 2022

Poor customer service

Samantha_B, Aug 2022
Was stuck in traffic and contacted the provider in advance of the tour to inquire about the possibility of rescheduling. Never received any response back at all and did not get to do the tour.

Fantastic! A highlight of our Paris trip!

Erin_Z, Aug 2022
This tour was fabulous. Our guide Dawie was really fun and animated and has some fantastic stories to tell about the neighborhood. It was one of our favourite parts of our trip!

The worst

Lisa_C, Jul 2022
Every time we are in Europe we take tours, we love them. This was the worst tour we have ever been on. We were running a little late and tried to contact the guide to let them know. There is no way to contact them. Luckily we were able to still join our group, which was very large. The guide shamed us for arriving late. The tour started out walking to the Moulin Rouge. The guide did not wait for everyone to get there before she started talking. She was hard to hear and she tried showing us images on an ipad that had a terribly cracked screen. All you could see were the cracks and the reflection on the sky. The tour was so bad that we left in the middle of it. Do not book this tour, you will be very disappointed.

Wonderful experience in Montmartre

Emily_L, Jul 2022
Our guide, Dawie, was an excellent source of information, and really made the history of each site come alive. Highly recommend going on this tour if you want to get a good overview of Montmartre with lots of fun and interesting details.

Abhishek_D, Jul 2022
Alberto was amazing! The tour was great. One addition I would like them to make is a stop at Picasso’s first studio so that people can see that too.

Excellent tour guide!

Even though I was hoping our group size would be smaller, our tour guide did a great job keeping everyone engaged. He is not only knowledgeable but also passionate about Montmartre. My teenage daughter really enjoyed it and said it was one of the highlights in our trip to Paris.

Worth the walk

Craig_H, Jul 2022
Brilliant trip, but I felt it was over subscribed with around 35 people participating The large crowd and the traffic noise made it difficult to hear the guide at times Nonetheless, the guide was a wealth of knowledge

Excellent tour

Susanne_D, Jun 2022
We had the best time on this tour. It was long and all uphill but plenty of breaks to learn some history. Sebastian was a fantastic guide! As a Montmartre local he knew the most beautiful spots to show us and was so knowledgeable. We loved his excitement and enthusiasm. Gorgeous area and it was wonderful to learn so much.

Excellent

Very knowledgeable guide, showed us all the places where the famous artists hung out and worked. And he kept us away from the pickpockets at Sacré Cœur ♥️

Highlight of my trip to Paris!

Amanda_D, May 2022
Excellent tour around Montmarte, led by one of the best guides I’ve met. Informative, fun and very interesting, I can’t recommend this tour highly enough. Plenty of photo opportunities in very picturesque streets, and a great chance to learn more about this interesting area of Paris. Very good value for money too!
