About this activity

During our walk through the streets of Montmartre we'll see iconic monuments like Moulin Rouge and Sacre-Coeur and we'll walk in the footsteps of legendary artists like Pablo Picasso and Vincent Van Gogh who lived in the area between the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th.

We are new on Viator but have been guiding people for 5 years on airbnb experience with a rating of 4.98 out of five over more than a thousand reviews.

You'll discover not only one of the most beautiful and unique neighborhood of Paris but also it's unique history where art, religion and politics mix together. It's a perfect way to discover Montmartre or rediscover it with fresh eyes as we'll take you through unbeaten paths away from the big tourist crowd. It's ideal for families as well as lonely travellers.

The tour is made by a true parisian who has lived in Montmartre several years and studied history and history of art. We focus on immersive storytelling and interactive tours limited to ten people.
