A wonderful tour. Ines shared so much interesting history about this area. So much to see. We will definitely return to spend more time here
Nice neighborhood very typical. Beautiful walk to do in the neighborhood around Place du Tertre where you can admire the painters during their work.
I did the Montmartre walking tour in Paris with Keara and it was amazing! She knows so much about the history, art, and hidden spots of the neighborhood. Keara was friendly, easy to talk to, and made the tour fun and interesting. I loved hearing the stories about the artists and seeing parts of Montmartre I never would have found on my own. Highly recommend this tour if you want a personal and memorable experience!
Wendy was a great tour guide highlighting Montemartre district. We were having all kinda of challenges but was able to join! Thank you Wendy for sharing the beauty and history of Montemartre district. Wear your walking shoes as the streets were not smooth.
Educational and fun. The tour guide was wonderful he was witty and funny. Alot of walking and hilly but very manageable. We loved it.
Lucy, our guide was amazing 👏. She found the right spots for the right stories . She gave us good suggestions to do after the tour. Great tour in one of the interesting districts in Paris.
Would 100% recommend the tour. Our guide, Fernando was super nice and kept the walk engaging and fun. Having been to Montmartre before, definitely appreciated knowing stories about all the artists who lived there and called it home.
I've started my time in Paris by doing this free tour of Montmartre. Who does not want to know about Moulin Rouge... But it was much more than this. The tour guide was Harry he was a great guide. Took us trough little roads and showed us some Montmartre curiosities that we would not have known any other way. It was now just a sighseeing tour, with Harry's history knowledge and insight this tour was elevated, and Paris is no longer the Eiffel Tower and the Moulin Rouge. Thank you!
We did two tours with Harry: Montmartre and Paris. Harry is very personable and solicitous. He engages well with his audience, and takes the time to find out a little bit about each member of his tour. Moreover, Harry readily remembers those who had participated in a previous walk, which attests to his attention to detail. Harry is extremely knowledgeable, but does not give the run of the mill, clichéd speeches. Rather, he promotes critical thought and analysis about historical events. He also brings a spot of humour to the walking tours. I had done both tours before, and was just accompanying friends, but I was not bored at all due to Harry’s skilful way of presenting the information. I definitely recommend.
Excellent tour with Lucie - she is a very knowledgeable, interesting and engaging guide. Highly recommend!
