Choose from a midmorning or early afternoon departure, and meet your knowledgeable guide near this legendary district.

Super cool tour! Lots of different sites and information! Learned lots we didn't know even existed. Our guide was a spunky energetic gal from England. Amazing! Be prepared to walk - lots of steps and hilly. Does not include Sacre Coeur, ends there.

Kit, our guide was awesome!! We learned so much and thoroughly enjoyed his infectious enthusiasm, great humour and amazing breadth of knowledge. I would highly recommend this tour and Kit in particular as a guide! He is top notch!!
A must experience if. you truly wish to understand Montmartre!
amin_m, May 2023
Kit is the best guide ever! His knowledge and presentation of the area was exceptional. He has an encyclopedic knowledge of art history, political history and literature and was able to weave in and out of these essential areas in a very entertaining and engaging way. The best two hours you will ever spend in Paris!
Disappointed, left out, not interesting.
Vina_P, Apr 2023
not a great experience. The tour guide spoke too much about irrelevant topics (mainly Dalida) and not much else. The tour guide also did not include me in the group and would only show and explain things to fellow American tourists. So I just walked off.
Lovely food tour!
Brian_R, Aug 2022
Wonderful! Food was delicious as was the guide! Kids loved all of it as well. Would recommend to families!
So so
Nanette_C, Jun 2022
Nice guide. Too much standing and a little too much info about nothing important I was eager to take trolley back down the mountain
Good tour and good company but could be better
jdmillers1990, May 2022
Tour guide seem unsure of her information. The location was extremely busy. It would have been nice to have free time to shop the local artists. Our tour ended 20 minutes early and that time time could have been used for shopping.
When in Paris…
Iliana_R, May 2022
It would be helpful for the tour to explain the rigor associated with the tour. There were folks on the tour who were unable to handle the steep hills and walks. Otherwise, tour guide was fantastic, knowledgeable, and great all around.

Stacey_W, Apr 2022
I showed up at the meeting location and there was no one there. I asked and asked others in the area if they could help me locate the tour. Nobody else could see a tour. I showed them the email with the meeting location and everyone said I was in the right place. I want my money back!!! There was no tour! I am furious.
Wandering around the haunts of past artists & authors...
Dennis_F, Sep 2021
We've visited Montmarte on our own in previous years but joining the walking tour under "Kit" was an eye opener! Kit is very knowledgeable regarding all the famous artists and writers that lived in Montmarte. He will will walk you past the previous haunts of Picasso, Van Gough, Renoir, J.D. Salinger, Gertrude Stein and others. His stories bring the past to life. Kit is also an artist so his perspective is one of appreciation of this historic neighborhood and its living past! Thanks, Kit!
Great Experience
Kyle_T, Jul 2021

Climbing the hill on Montmartre was great.
