Private Walking Tour of Montmartre and Sacré-Cœur Visit
Description
Montmartre is the bohemian soul of Paris — and has been for centuries. On this walking tour, you’ll find out why. From painters like Monet, Toulouse-Lautrec, and Van Gogh, to writers like Zola and Marcel Aymé, to stars like Dalida, this hill has always drawn the dreamers. Wander past old windmills, one of the last working vineyards in Paris, and streets full of ivy-covered charm. See the spots from films like Amélie and Emily in Paris, and take in sweeping views from the steps of the Sacre-Cœur. Your guide brings the neighborhood to life with stories that connect art, history, and everyday Parisian magic. If you’d like, you can add on a tasting of five wines — three stills, one sparkling and one dessert wine— paired with a cheese and charcuterie board and a delicious tarte tartin, all led by a professional sommelier. It’s one of our favorite small group tours — come see why Montmartre still captures the imagination.

We had a great time on our walking tour of the Montemarte district! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. She catered to our interests and we had a lovely time with her during this small group experience. Would highly recommend!
My girlfriend and I had an absolute lovely time with Ifiok! The tour is efficient, and Ifiok is extremely knowledgeable and passionate. I would go on this tour again, to be honest.
