Discover the magic of Montmartre on this captivating 90-minute walking tour, where history, art, and culture come alive. Once home to artists like Van Gogh, this charming neighborhood has inspired creativity for centuries.

Begin at the I Love You Wall, a romantic art piece displaying “I Love You” in over 300 languages. Wander through Montmartre’s winding streets, passing landmarks like the Moulin de la Galette, painted by Renoir, the historic Rue des Abbesses, several unusual art pieces, the city’s only vineyard, and more.

Atop Montmartre, enjoy breathtaking views from the Sacré-Cœur Basilica while learning about its striking 19th-century architecture. If open, you’re welcome to explore the basilica on your own after the tour — it’s free to enter.

From there, stroll around the basilica and head to Place du Tertre, a lively square filled with artists and cozy terraces. The tour ends at La Bonne Franquette, a historic restaurant once frequented by Van Gogh and Monet.

    Very little information provided. Tour was an hour and fifteen minutes and I think we stopped about 10 times to have a house, fountain or artwork explained. For 32 euros a person, I was expecting more background on the area, something with more substance. Have done a lot of walking tours in various cities for far less money and have come away from those knowing so much about the city/area.

  • Tetiana was a great guide!

    Tetiana was an excellent and very knowledgeable guide. The tour was very interesting, and my 15-year old son enjoyed it very much.

    David was a congenial host and an excellent raconteur. As we walked we got an interesting discussion about Montmatre’s history and place in the history of art. The climb to Sacré Coeur is steep but worth it for the view. We were lucky that the day was sunny but cool.

    Slow, roundabout pace avoiding steep climbs. Scenic and historic stopping points of several artists’ lives in Montmartre. Our guide Candace was humorous, knowledgeable, and patient. Easy to find starting point and popular landmark for the ending point. This guided tour is a good introduction to the area but not necessarily an in depth, detailed experience.
