Wish we could rate this 6 out of 5 stars!! Del was an exceptional guide - she knows Montmartre intimately and did a wonderful job of tailoring the presentation to our individual interests. She was all over everything from the history to the best photo stops, shopping, etc. One of the best tours of our trip!
What an amazing review — we're so happy Del made your time in Montmartre truly special with her local insight, personal touches, and thoughtful guidance throughout!
Having a guide take you around is a great way to ensure you don’t miss out on some of the key highlights in and around the area! Del was very friendly, went with the flow of what our kids were interested in and ensured we all got to see the things we hand in mind! It’s definitely a place you can explore for longer than 3 hours, especially if you choose to get your portraits done! :)
