Highlights
  • Moulin Rouge - Embark on an enchanting expedition through the soul of Montmartre, guided by a local resident whose tales bring the neighborhood’s vivid history to life. Our journey begins at the iconic Moulin Rouge, the cradle of the Can-Can dance, and ascends the storied hillside. As we traverse this bohemian enclave, the echoes of legends such as Van Gogh, Picasso, and Edith Piaf enrich the atmosphere, blending past with present.

We will wander through landmarks steeped in artistic lore, including the Cafe des deux Moulins, forever captured in the whimsical world of “Amélie,” and the vibrant Place du Tertre, a living tableau of modern artists who revive the Belle Époque’s splendor.

Our exploration grants exclusive entry into the majestic Sacré-Cœur Basilica, where breathtaking panoramas of Paris unfold from this hilltop sanctuary.

Great view of architecture and discussion of history - 3 out of 5. We didn’t do everything that was in the original package or the tour. I think she was fantastic but felt it could’ve been more beneficial for the price

Tour of Montmartre - Tour guide is very knowledgeable and very nice!!! I think overall a little misleading. One stop (Wall of love) was closed and not stated. And then didn’t go into the Church because it was too busy. Tour says 3hrs but was about 1hr 15 mins. I say 3/5 because there is potential to be a great tour.
