We wanted to have an interactive and slower pace tour of the area and this was a huge success. Everyone in our group, from 11 years old to 76 enjoyed seeing the places and the experience of the area. It was very hot so having the slower pace was helpful for our group. We definitley recommend and would do a similar tour with this company again!
Dorene was an amazing tour guide! My kids loved the whole experience — from the food to the history and culture. Dorene gave us the glimpse of real Paris, beyond the touristy attractions.
I took this tour with my partner and our two kids (ages 8 and 4). We had a lovely time on this tour! Our guide, Dorine, was very knowledgeable about the neighborhood! The adults loved learning about the architecture and trying the food. The kids were very engaged in the scavenger/treasure hunt part. The distance was manageable for our kids, though the little one did want to be carried sometimes. We are so grateful to Dorine for making our first Paris activity such a memorable one! We would highly recommend this tour! Merci beaucoup!
Dorine did an excellent job of helping us relax and really enjoy the tour. We arrived, expecting to hit the ground running. Instead, we met at a very Parisien cafe for a coffee and croissant and enjoyed getting to know the other guests, people watching, etc. we then started the walk and she gave us great info on the area before stopping again at a Boulangerie for one of the best quiche Lorraine’s I’ve ever had and some orange juice. We then stopped at another cafe to have some wine and receive a little overview of French wine culture and traditions. The tour continued again with several stops, culminating in our goodbyes at the Sacre Cour basilica. Overall, a great, relaxing way to enjoy Montmarte.
Thank you so much for your review Jordan, We are glad that have been able to relax and had a nice quiet discovery of the neighborhood. It is totally what we want ! Kind regards, Julia
This a really wonderful way to explore Montmartre with children (mine are 9 and 11). Our tour guide, Dorine, was outstanding- very informative and great with kids. The food tastings were so much fun. Highly recommend!
We highly recommend this tour! It was great fun experiencing Montmartre as a local with Dorine. She shared lots of tidbits about French food, habits, and culture that we never would have known if not for this tour with her. We are so grateful to her for sharing French culture with us!! It completely enriched our visit to Paris.
Julia was incredible - she was instantly warm from the start, making both us and our kids feel comfortable. We explored the area of Montmarte and Julia was gracious about moving at the kids speed (even if there were a few meltdowns from them). She knew the right stops to go to and was so knowledgable about the area and history - she even had an interactive game for our daughter to complete, which kept her engaged. She was so open and kind and gave us so much of her time, even giving us recommendations for later and taking wonderful photos of us to remember the trip by. 10 out of 10 recommend!
We had THE BEST tour with Julia, would highly recommend. The food was amazing and generous, and Julia was very engaging. We have two boys 11 and 13 who were super grateful of the scavenger hunt she had planned. Would highly recommend for a family.
Thank you so much for your comment ! Love to hear that !
Julia created a very memorable experience for all of us. She was super accommodating and we all had a wonderful time. This was a tour that was good for both adults and kids alike. We learned some of the history of Montmartre and tried some foods we’ve never had before but will never forget! We highly recommend taking her tour.
Thank you so much Lawrence ! I was very glad to have welcome my younger ever participant on the tour thanks to you ! Enjoy the rest of your trip !
This was probably our kids favorite tour over the entire two week trip we took. Julia did a perfect job mixing food, history and giving us a sense of the neighborhood. Collecting food for a picnic at many local small shops was great, and fun game at the end let the kids get very involved. Would highly recommend for adults or families with kids- Julia was great!
Thank you so much Matt for your review ! I really manage to give a good balance between all the different timing during the tour so it goes straight to my heart. Hope to see you again on your next trip !
