5.00Montmartre is charming and steeped with history of artists. Loik Hommit made our day, with his vast knowledge of the history of Montmartre, Paris and all the artists that lived and worked there. We enjoyed famous patisseries, chocolate shops and the cobbled stone streets. The vibe is artistic, cozy, and Loik was full of Parisian charm. Definitely worth a tour while you're in the city!
Amazing!

5.00Highly recommend this walking tour of Montmartre— Loïc made history come alive through fascinating storytelling and sweets. Loïc engaged with our ten year old historian through endless questions and gave a perspective on the history of Paris in a way you just can’t get from books. He also showcased the best chocolate we have ever had along with the kids favorite sweets from the trip. From our 8 year old: “All of the stories were really interesting and everything was really fun. All of the pastries and sweets were amazing.”
Yummy food

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.
