Response from Host, Jun 2025

We sincerely apologize for the unacceptable experience you had with your tour. We take full responsibility for the guide not showing up. Upon review, we found that the 25-person tour you booked was canceled and removed from our system, leading to no registered bookings or assigned guide for your time slot. This was our oversight, and we deeply regret the inconvenience. We've processed a full refund. We value your business and would like to offer an additional incentive for a future Paris offering. Please contact us via Viator if you're interested.

We had a great time on our walking tour of the Montemarte district! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. She catered to our interests and we had a lovely time with her during this small group experience. Would highly recommend!

Interesting tour with knowledgeable tour guide.

Our tour guide, Ifi, was outstanding! She is very knowledgeable and shares interesting history of all the sights along the walking tour. She loves to answer questions and patient with taking photos! I highly recommend her tours.

The tour guide was very helpful and informative. We saw time walking around the streets. Learned a lot about the early lives for French artists who lived in the community.

Great Guide- Great Learning Walk

Excellent tour with a knowledgeable, friendly, and fantastic guide. I learned a lot about Monmartre and it was an absolutely beautiful walk in a terrific neighborhood. The guide was spectacular and I highly recommend.

Small group walking tour in Monmartre

Janel_B, Jul 2024
We planned this last minute and were so glad that we did. Our guide showed us information about Monmartre that we would not have appreciated without her education. She was a great tour guide!

Very informative

Donna_C, Jun 2024
This tour is excellent! Really glad I was able to take it and learn much more about this beautiful historic area and the Moulin Rouge windmills. The guide was so informative and pleasant.

Best Neighborhood

Anastasia_C, Jun 2024
Benedict was a great tour guide, her expertise and love for the area clearly showed. I wish we had taken this tour at the beginning of our stay so we could have revisited some of the great spots along the way and enjoyed them a little longer. This neighborhood was my favorite in all of Paris, the further you climb the better it gets! Warning: this is mostly an uphill hike and sometimes is very steep. I’m so glad we did it but sometimes it was tough.
