Small group authenticity

Katelyn_P, May 2024

Maria was amazing and tailored the tour to our small group. It was so nice to have such a small group and get to truly experience all the wonderful Montmatre experiences.

Really see Monmartre

Patricia_M, May 2024

This tour was a great surprise. We didn’t realize when we booked it that there would only be 4 of us. Lots of freedom to ask questions and easy to hear her. Our guide (I am sorry I can’t remember her name) was right on time, easy to find her. She was friendly, spoke excellent English, and she was very knowledgeable. The pace was perfect. Montmartre is very steep but our climb was broken up into small “bites” so it was very manageable. She took us by le Moulin de la Gallette restaurant and noted they had good food and good prices. We came back after the tour and it was terrific. We have eaten in enough places in Paris to appreciate good food and service. . All in all I highly recommend this tour to really see and appreciate Monmartre/Sacre Couer and environs.

Awesome

Patricia_B, Apr 2024

Sacred Couer; shops; St. Denis; quaintness of town; views of Paris; Lucy, our guide, was very impressive.

Great walking tour

Sky_A, Apr 2024

Great walking tour of the highlights of Montmartre. Guide showed us good places to eat and gave us a tour inside the sacre-coeur.

Marie was a fabulous We were fortunate enough to have her be our exclusive tour guide. She was extremely knowledgeable and provided us with wonderful stories about the history of Montmartre and area. Very enjoyable and recommended the tour to friends who will be going later this week. Thank you Marie,

Great tour

Luellen_L, Mar 2024

Mary was wonderful! Very knowledgeable with lots of fun stories! Great pictures on her phone. We did a round about way up to Sacre Couer that didn't include the 200+ steps. Great experience! Highly recommend!

Wonderful small group tour.

John_R, Mar 2024

We were met by Mary at the pick up spot. My wife and I were the only two on this tour and Mary made us feel special. My wife is handicapped and Mary modified the tour to accommodate her mobility issues. She is very knowledgeable of the area’s history which made for a very interesting visit. I really enjoyed the visit to Sacre Coeur

Paris with Lucy!

Lina_E, Mar 2024

Lucy is a top guide. We did a beautiful walk with her, in Paris. Highlights where Sacre coeur by night, monmartre, the house of Dalida ( we where singing together there ) and a lot of other beautiful buildings like Moulin Rouge,…. Lucy thank you for this wonderful memory ♥️

We Love Lucy!

Dean_X, Feb 2024

Lucy was the best tour guide! She was kind, patient and knowledgeable. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour and recommend her highly. Our trip to Paris was more memorable because of Lucy. Thank you!

Very interesting tour

Karen_L, Feb 2024

We had a great time with our guide Lucy, she guided us through town and we discovered areas we would not have seen or known about without a guide.

So glad we took this tour!

Joanie_B, Jan 2024

I loved that we were led around some obscure areas of Montmartre that if I were exploring alone, would never even know about these places. Also, approaching Sacre Coeur from behind was absolutely breathtaking and eye opening!

Texans in Paris

Jessica_H, Dec 2023

Party of 5 in our group. We were all glad we did it and learned a lot. Our guide, Denise, was very informative and open to conversation and questions. We didn’t feel rushed at all.

Great tour

Lisa_C, Dec 2023

Mary showed us where the famous artists lived and played, as well as contemporary highlights. We've been to Montmartre before but learned a lot more! Lots of good stories!

James_G, Dec 2023

Maria was a very entertaining guide. She gave us great background on the places and was knowledgeable about the places we stopped. I would definitely recommend this tour and Maria to others.

Informative , exhilarating

RacheL_C, Nov 2023

Lucy was an amazing guide. The tour was informative and casual with a very small group. She had the answers to all of our questions. Beware, this tour requires walking up a long steep hill! Not for the faint of heart. But well worth it when you reach the Sacre Couer. Amazing views and such a beautiful sight. Would highly recommend this tour.

Montemarte is a great experience and the guide was informative and sweet.

ThomasJ_M, Aug 2023

THE WINDMILL. Fun to learn the history and origin. The Basilica was amazing! The climb was definitely worth it and the restaurant we chose Le Chappe was wonderful!

Wonderful evening walk!

Patricia_N, Aug 2023

We absolutely loved the walking tour We covered less than 2 miles in an hour and a half Our tour guide was Maria who was pleasant, thoughtful, and very knowledgeable We recommend Maria and thus tour very highly!
