Itinerary
Start in the heart of Montmartre, a hilltop neighbourhood that still feels like a village. As you wander its cobbled streets, your guide will bring to life the artists, stories, and small details that make this place so special.
We begin just across from the iconic Moulin Rouge, before slowly making our way uphill. Along the way, you’ll spot Van Gogh’s former home and the café made famous by Amélie — little moments that connect Montmartre’s past and present. Early in the tour, we’ll stop at a local award‑winning bakery to enjoy a freshly baked croissant — a simple but very Parisian moment.
Pause at the “I Love You” Wall, where the phrase is written in over 250 languages. Then slip into a quieter side of Montmartre, discovering one of its prettiest, lesser-known squares.
Pass one of the last windmills left in Paris and wander along one of Montmartre’s most beautiful streets — peaceful, elegant, and far from the busy crowds below. From here, your guide will lead you through a discreet passage to one of the best hidden views over Paris, along with one of the city’s most charming cobbled streets.
Tucked away on the hillside, you’ll find Montmartre’s hidden vineyard — a surprising reminder of the area’s past. Just across the street sits the Lapin Agile, a cabaret once loved by artists and writers.
End near the Sacré‑Cœur, but not in the way most visitors do. From a quieter viewpoint, take in sweeping panoramic views over Paris — a memorable final moment and the perfect way to end your time in Montmartre.

Lively tour of the backstreets of the area with an excellent guide.
Love this! It isn’t touristy.
Max was an amazing tour guide, lots of energy and passion and was a lovely person to spend our time with.
Well done. Definitely a highlight or my trip
Camilla was absolutely fantastic! We thoroughly enjoyed a much smaller group experience slightly off the beaten path and hitting all the highlights of Monte Martre. Glad we were not part of one of the many huge groups we encountered. Absolutely recommend!
The tour was fantastic and our tour guide was exceptional! I was late due to my taxi driver dropping me at the wrong location, but my tour guide tried calling me to make sure I was still joining the tour.
Cecelia was a wonderful guide. She is friendly, personable and very knowledgeable, especially about art history, She shared a lot of interesting facts about the history of Montmartre and showed me many interesting parts of the city.
