The tour was fantastic and our tour guide was exceptional! I was late due to my taxi driver dropping me at the wrong location, but my tour guide tried calling me to make sure I was still joining the tour.

Had a wonderful tour with Sylvie (that may not be right. She is from Argentina. Very knowledgeable and enthusiastic to tell us about our surroundings and lots about the artists who lived here. It was crazy hot and she paced things well. Nice group of us to spend the morning together

Max was a wonderful, informative and enthusiastic guide. We learnt a lot about the artists and history of Montmartre. Highly recommended experience
christine_M, Jun 2026
We loved our tour with Max! He shared so many wonderful stories about the neighborhood and helped us understand why this neighborhood was and still is so important for the artists community. We weaved our way through the little streets and ended at the top of the hill with a wonderful view of all of Paris. Max was professional, honest and funny! We had a really great morning with him. I highly recommend booking a tour with Max.

Even though there is a heat wave in Paris and everyone cancelled but me, my guide (I think her name was Cecilia but it could be Celeste, please forgive me) gave me a wonderful tour! She was knowledgeable and kind and helped me with suggestions and ideas of things to do next. I highly recommend!

Mary_B, Jun 2026
One of our best tours in Paris. Interesting history and personable guide with enthusiastic presentation
Carrie_E, Jun 2026
Camilla is excellent guide. We started tour at Moulin Rouge and worked our way up the hill. We learned about the history of Montmarte, Paris, the artists who made Montmarte famous, buildings where they worked, lived and stories of Montmarte along with several stops to enjoy the view and bakery stop for croissant. It was just six of us including the guide so lovely small group. Can’t say enough about Camilla she was very personable and informative. The day before we visited Musée Orsay and after the tour Orangerie. I don’t think a trip to Paris would be complete without a tour of Montmarte
Jill_H, Jun 2026
This is a crowded area with many tours going on at the same time. But our group was small and I could hear Max, our tour guide, giving us interesting information and facts about the local area. He was kind enjoyable to be around. He wanted to make sure we all got enough pictures and had a nice time. It does require some uphill walking, but the tour guide doesn’t push you to go fast. We had a lovely time.

This was the Paris we were wanting to see. Our guide Camila was wonderful. She made the walk easy and informative. Plus she knew all the back ways around so you didn't have to walk up all the steps!.
Montmartre is a must see for anyone visiting Paris. It's a quiet, peaceful neighborhood that's away from the rat race of the majority of Paris. Go there, you won't be disappointed.

Kevin_K, Apr 2026
Excellent guide. Originally from Argentina, she's been living in France for 20+ years and her enthusiasm for the area was on full display. She was super informative, didn't rush the tour, gave ample time for photos and answered every question. Really patient too, as part of our group could't find the meeting point and she walked them through where to meet us on the phone.
Montmarte is definitely worth visiting. Very different vibe than Paris.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Kevin! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your Hidden Montmartre Tour and that our guide's passion for the area came through. It’s great to know she was able to assist your group and enhance your experience in this uniquely charming part of Paris!
