Private Tour
Montmartre Tour with a Local Guide: Private & 100% Personalized
Overview
Available languages
3 hours
Mobile ticket
Follow your host through the picturesque neighborhood of Montmartre, former home of world-renowned artists Pablo Picasso and Salvidore Dali. Now, they’d hardly live here if it were an average, run of the mill neighborhood, would they? No. So, fall in love with the ivy-clad houses teetering on the edge of cobbled stone streets as you explore Paris’ steepest district, offering sweeping views of the city below (and a great workout for the glutes). You might like to see the Sacré-Cœur Basilica or the iconic Moulin Rouge cabaret, but the 18th arrondissement, with its bohemian flavor and diverse inhabitants, offers much more than just that. Venture with your host to the artistic area of Clignancourt, a spot many tourists overlook, where you’ll find everything from high-end boutiques to unpretentious shops, marché aux puces, sophisticated bakeries, tiny cafes and everyday roadside markets - the 18th has it all! Just ask yourself, what would Picasso do?

5.00We loved our tour of Monmartre with Pascal. The tour was fun and hit all of the spots where artists lived and painted. We stopped in the area center and bought lovely watercolor pieces to take home. I highly recommend.
Personalized private tour is the way to go!

5.00Wish we could rate this 6 out of 5 stars!! Del was an exceptional guide - she knows Montmartre intimately and did a wonderful job of tailoring the presentation to our individual interests. She was all over everything from the history to the best photo stops, shopping, etc. One of the best tours of our trip!
Beautiful day spent exploring by walking around!

5.00Having a guide take you around is a great way to ensure you don’t miss out on some of the key highlights in and around the area! Del was very friendly, went with the flow of what our kids were interested in and ensured we all got to see the things we hand in mind! It’s definitely a place you can explore for longer than 3 hours, especially if you choose to get your portraits done! :)

A little too much history, a little too less interesting facts

3.00The guide was lovely, but so entrenched in history there was not really any interesting facts or details that she can convey. We were looking for a more cultural, informative experience, less of a historical one.
Could have been better

5.00We had a great tour of the Montmartre area! Our tour guide, Elli, contacted us weeks before our arrival to find out specifically what we wanted out of this tour. My wife is a photographer so Elli designed the tour with that in mind. She pointed out all the interesting and iconic places, buildings and statues. What is so special about this tour was it was was designed just for us and our interest. Elli is very knowledgeable and highly educated, as well as lots of fun! As we walked the Montmartre area she explained the culture and history of the area and was easy to understand and talk to. A great tour! Also, because we were a bit apprehensive about taking the subway back to our hotel, Elli went with us! Took us to within 2 blocks of our hotel and showed us a great place to have lunch! This was definitely not part of the tour. Because of Elli this tour was way beyond what we expected!
