Visit Montmartre, the village has everything that Paris stands for: history, art, and love.
On this tour, we aim to make each tour an intimate, authentic Parisian experience.
Our average group size is 10 - 15 guests, and we try to keep a max of 22 guests/guide.
Also, our tours are all designed and run by local Parisians. No expat to run your tour! We give you the tourist must-sees and also the Paris of the Parisians.
Only this tour will show you all. And tell you all.
We’ll show you the landmarks: the church of Sacré Coeur, artists’ corner, Paris’ last vineyards, and so on.
We’ll tell you the stories: what the Cabaret of the assassins is about. How Montmartre became the birthplace of Impressionism - and Van Gogh - and Picasso. And even why so many locals actually hate their church of Sacré Coeur.
We'll take you where other groups don't go. So many tourists in Montmartre! So of course we'll hit the must-sees. But we will also take you off-the-tourist-path every chance we get. And that's a promise.
Our route covers the landmarks of Montmartre:
- The best views over Paris
- The windmills of Montmartre and "the scrub"
- cobblestones, picturesque streets, and a farmhouse even
- the vineyards that the locals are so proud of
- The birthplace of the greatest art – Impressionism. Cubism. Edith Piaf
- and the church of Sacré coeur - but from a better viewing point
We don't want you to just know Montmartre. We want you to love it.
We walk rain or shine, and your guide wears a pink vest that you cannot miss.
What is a small group?
Our small group tours usually have around 12 people. While group sizes can go up to 20, we add a second guide when that happens to keep the experience smooth and enjoyable for everyone.

If there's an alternative to Paris' classy centre, it's Montmartre! Known for its artsy vibe, winding streets, red mills and providing pleasures of both the mind and the body, this iconic location serves the Parisians and the world as both an inspiration... and a warning.
Please note that Montmartre is known for its uphill climbs, it's stairs, and it iconic cobblestone roads! Therefore, it is unfortunately not wheelchair friendly. It is doable with a stroller/pram, but getting up the stairs and navigating the cobblestones will prove to be a challenge for you.
Once a sleepy village located on the slopes of the Martyrs' Mountain, in the late 19th century Montmartre was transformed into the world capital of art. Couple that with a string of bohemian vagabonds settling here, and you've got yourself a mix like none other in the world. Monet, Renoir, Van Gogh, Picasso, Modigliani, Matisse, Degas, Toulouse-Lautrec to name just a few - many of them were engulfed in literature, philosophy, painting and... sex, drugs and alcohol. Scandals abound, this place has it all and still draws the unruly among the human kind.
On top of that, literally, there stands the magnificent basilica of Sacré-Coeur. The surrounding streets winding up to it served as a backdrop of countless famous films and series.
Let Montmartre enchant you, like it did to us. On our tour you will see:
- Moulin Rouge
- Cafe deux moulins (Cafe known from the film “Amelie”)
- Van Gogh’s house
- Moulin d’ la Galette
- Place des Abbesses
- ︎Studios Picasso/Modigliani
- Vineyard/Oldest Cabaret in Paris
- Sacré Coeur Basilica
