5.00We are in our 80s. This was a strenuous steep uphill walk over cobblestones. Guide was very knowledgeable, but this walk was not appropriate for us and our level of activity. I regret we did not see more detail about the type of walk before we booked the tour.
The best!

5.00This tour provides EXCELLENT information and history of tragedies of Montmarte! Our very knowledgeable and engaging guide, Loik, walked us through areas of Montmarte giving historical accounts of the many artists and royalty that resided and made the arrondisement what it is today. HIGHLY recommend this tour to all who are interested in learning about the neighborhood and enjoying fantastic chocolates and pastries!
