Then explore the Sacre Coeur Basilica.

Hannah was an excellent guide. There is so much history in Montmartre and she covered it so well. The food is excellent, there is a lot to try. Of course the views from Montmartre are spectacular, we really enjoyed the tour.
Hannah was amazing! This was an incredibly special experience and I would recommend this tour to anyone.
Hannah was amazing her knowledge and passion for the area were evident and the amount and quality of food was great. Favourite was the bakery with the nest pastries.
We had a wonderful time with Hannah today! We felt like we toured Montmartre with a family friend who also was an expert on the local history. All the treats were amazing and we felt like locals by the end. The small intimate group allowed for great conversations about Paris, Montmartre and life. Definitely request Hannah if you can!
Hannah is the most delightful host and guide as she weaves us through the charming Montmartre neighborhood! Her knowledge and stories made us feel like insiders to the history and characters of the area and the gastro delights along the way provided and even deeper appreciation for this special part of Paris. We can’t recommend Hannah and this walking tour enough!!
Our tour guide, Hannah, was amazing! We have been on many tours in Europe and this was our absolute favorite! We got to taste so many delicious foods and enjoy the fun stories throughout the time at a leisurely pace. She took us on a route to the Sacre Cour that was manageable and didn’t feel like you were going up hill the entire time. We were full by the end of the tour and felt like we were friends with the whole group because she didn’t rush us and allowed us to enjoy ourselves and the views! It was a great way to get acclimated to the Montmarte area that we will be staying in for the week! Cheese, pastries, sweets, crepes, and so much more. She was also great to offer alternative options if we didn’t want the original option.
Loved this tour! Hannah was fantastic and we had such a lovely time! All the spots she took us to were delicious! Highly recommend. We will definitely be booking more Curiosity Collective Tours for future Paris trips.
My tour with Hannah was a highlight of my trip! Lovely insights and she does her research. Wonderful seeing her passion for Montmarte and people. Would recommend!
Fabulous tour of the food, treats, wine and more along with history and local insights of Mont Martre. Hannah had so much knowledge of where to get the best of everything and shared her favorites with us. She pointed out so many cool things like Picasso’s studio and the only vineyard in Paris. This tour was pricey but worth every penny. We had so much food and drink we felt full by the end. Highly recommend this tour and the Curious Collective!
