Additional Information

Follow your host through the picturesque neighborhood of Montmartre, former home of world-renowned artists Pablo Picasso and Salvidore Dali. Now, they’d hardly live here if it were an average, run of the mill neighborhood, would they? No. So, fall in love with the ivy-clad houses teetering on the edge of cobbled stone streets as you explore Paris’ steepest district, offering sweeping views of the city below (and a great workout for the glutes). You might like to see the Sacré-Cœur Basilica or the iconic Moulin Rouge cabaret, but the 18th arrondissement, with its bohemian flavor and diverse inhabitants, offers much more than just that. Venture with your host to the artistic area of Clignancourt, a spot many tourists overlook, where you’ll find everything from high-end boutiques to unpretentious shops, marché aux puces, sophisticated bakeries, tiny cafes and everyday roadside markets - the 18th has it all! Just ask yourself, what would Picasso do?

Stronger start needed. - This is a great tour. However our guide started at the bottom (Moulian Rouge) and we had to climb to the top because, as he said, “when I start at the top and go down, my clients like to stop halfway down for a break for lunch or drinks.” We had two children under 11 and two people over 74. The climbing made it very hard for us. Start at the top!!! Listen to your customers.

Love Montmartre but not the Viator tour guide - We loved Montmartre as it’s beautiful, charming, historic, artsy .. all things webut the tour guide was not very good. She was 30 minutes late. Then, when we walked around, we felt as if our mother was telling us what to do and not in a very well informed fashion. Overall, I would say she needs to find a different career.

Not worth it - Just walked around for 3 hours. First hour interesting. Rest was not worth it. Not much information and just pointed out streets. We even said wanted place for lunch. She pointed out sine but they were a distance from where we ended. We couldn’t have found restaurants after fact. Wished we ended tour early and ate a nice lunch in montemarte. Left in area without many restaurant choices
