We were staying in Montmartre and booked this tour to learn about the area. Laura was an engaging and enthusiastic guide. We were travelling with our three children aged 12, 14 and 16, we all learned a lot - not just about the picturesque neighbourhood, but also about the broader history of France.

Unfortunately we were not able to make the tour due to issues with metro tickets!!!!!! However we did do some sight seeing alone! I have to mention the professionalism of the tour operators who went out of their way to Communicate where we could meet up once the tour had started and the follow up after the tour when they realized we had sadly missed it!!!!! We will definitely use Viator again!
