Amazing Tour

terahgraybeal, Jul 2025

Mehrdad was our tour guide for Montmartre Walking Tour. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. We got the best view and insider information on the history of Paris. Not enough words to describe how great this tour was! We loved it so much we would have extended if we had more time.

Nice tour of the Montmartre area of France

John_J, May 2025

This personal guided tour of the Montmartre section of France was very nice. Aliya was our personal guide and she did a wonderful job. The places we visited in Montmartre were beautiful. The Sacred Heart Basilica was one of the highlights the the tour. Aliya was super kind and helpful all along the way.

Great

Kim_S, Jul 2024

Seeing the cathedrals the art the beautiful views of paris the whole experience was great our guide was wonderful

Awesome

Kelly_K, Jun 2024

Anastasia was the perfect tour guide. Shevwas very knowledgeable and custom packaged our tour. It was our pleasure to have her as our guide.

Overpriced

Kathleen_K, May 2024

Mehrdad was a kind guide and went out of his way to give us many recommendations and links to various spots of interest in the city. We would give him 5 stars for his efforts and kindness. He is the only reason why Viator is given 3 stars. I find that the Viator Private tours are overpriced. We could have easily got the same experience out of our tour book. To be charged $278 to be walked around Montmarte is severely overpriced. We do not plan on using or recommending Viator to others.

Response from Host, May 2024

Dear Kathleen, We're sorry you are not satisfied with the price of the tour. It seems you are happy with the tour and the guide. The guide did everything he could to meet all your expectations and he covered all the places and spots from the tour itinerary. You were aware of the price when booking the tour, so we are not quite sure how we can help in this situation. Please let us know if there's anything we can do for you

Not This Guide Please!!!

Maciej_B, Oct 2023

I Lost a lot of money and Lost a lot of priceless time in Paris, No benefits at all!!!. Guide from Columbia was lost in Paris. We spend an hour in line to Sacré Coer so we said” thank you” and we made new plan ourselves. Not even visiting the basilique…. Disaster!!!

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Dear Maciej, We are sorry you expected something else from the tour what it was not. It turns out you asked the guide to explore the city by taxi and to take funicular - it was all not included in tour, and not part of the route. The guide was trying to make it work, but at some point you started ignoring the guide for some reason. The guide did his best to still cover the program that was initially planned and make sure you still have a good time on tour. Please let us know if there is anything else we can do for you.

Wonderful Tour with Jonathan

Earl_M, Oct 2023

We had a wonderful tour with Jonathan. He was quite knowledgeable about both the area and history. Jonathan had wonderful stories and by the end of the tour we felt that we had a very good feel for Montmartre, its beauty and charm as well as its historical significance. I would recommend this tour, and Jonathan was great.

ANNA made our tour awesome!!

79zgf7npp5, Jul 2023

Anna was amazing! We have traveled to Paris many times and never experienced Montmartre! My daughter has a degree in Art History and was especially excited to see where Picasso and Van Gogh lived and worked . Anna’s knowledge of the history of the area was extensive and interesting. The Basillica of the Sacred Heart was a vantage point of greater Paris that we had never seen before and was just stunning! We had lunch at Anna’s recommendation and were surrounded by artists at work while we enjoyed an incredible meal! This tour is a must do for people who want a day seeing a unique area of Paris!!

Monmartre private walking tour

Abdallah_A, Jun 2023

Claire our guide was superb and very kind. Explanation on every step of the visit was very clear. She even managed to keep the kids focused and participate like immersed in the sites history. I would definitely do it again next time we are in Paris.

Beautiful walking tour!

Patricia_M, Jun 2023

Veronica was wonderful! The tour was informative and included fascinating information and locations we never would have seen. Delightful and beautiful! Thank you it made our day perfect..

Claire!!!

KELLY_S, Apr 2023

Claire was an amazing guide. We had such a wonderful morning. She even deviated the tour a little to show me the cemetery. This is a must do at Montmartre!

lovely

Kathleen_D, Apr 2023

Such a nice person to spend time with! Took us via metro to Monmartre. It was so nice to have someone else lead us to each of the various sites on the hill. We chose not to go into the cathedral due to lines at the time. She let us go at our own pace and was very aware of our interests. We had a lovely lunch in the square and bought some art. I cant express what a nice person she was - I would have been happy to stay friends :)

Knowledgeable guide, excellent experience.

Doug_C, Aug 2022

As someone who lives in Montmartre herself, the guide was well versed on the history of the area, the famous artists who have lived there, and especially the interior of Sacré-Cœur. She is articulate, has a good sense of humor, and speaks excellent English. Thank you for a wonderful experience. Highly recommend.

The tour guide was a very...

LUCY_A, May 2022

The tour guide was a very nice lady. However, her grasp of the English language was very limited and she was constantly going onto her phone to get the words she needed. That could be managed if she didn't talk soooo quietly. We constantly had to have her repeat herself. We could not hear her and she spoke facing her feet instead of facing us. I didn't get much out of this tour.

Response from Host, May 2022

We are sorry to hear you didn't get much of the tour. It's actually the guide's most favorite tour route and she adores it. We forwarded your complaint to her and she informed us she did have to whisper in the Basilica of the Sacred Heart because it's not allowed to speak loudly there as people are praying. We hope for your understanding

Compétence

Michle_S, Feb 2020

Notre guide Dorothée Lambert a été très professionnelle, compétente, enjouée, et ce fut un véritable plaisir de découvrir la face cachée de Montmartre en sa compagnie.
