The guide was very informative and provided a really enjoyable experience. Highly recommended foe the experience we had
Rita was a lovely and informative guide who was very patient with my kids - we had a great time touring Montmartre! Merci!
We had a great experience with Rita. We were lucky to get an amazing tour guide like her and it was an absolute pleasure. Our honeymoon couldn’t have been better ❤️
We were at the the exact meeting place 30 minutes before and no guide, and no other participants. It said to meet at the postal station on Abbesses and directly across from the Abesses metro. We could easily see the metro and it was clearly labeled. We walked all around the area to make sure
Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and engaging. He explained and shared every story clearly, which made the tour both fun and memorable 😁. My friends and I truly enjoyed the experience from start to finish
Had a great experience with Vera. Very knowledgeable, quite nicely explained everything step. Felt like living through a story.
Perkins was a wonderful tour guide! He gave us a lovely and informative tour of Montemarte. We loved learning about the neighborhood and he took us to great spots.
I reviewed this tour previously as we had two booking first for 3 adults and then added 8 more friends. Our guide was not experienced and did not give a tour worth paying for. I am requesting a refund for 11 adults .

Good stories but a bit hard to understand for me due to accent. He is very passionate about the history. Would be nice to provide bottled water in van.
