This “tour” was a scam. We had it booked at 2:30 pm only to be told the tour guide was sick. Fair enough. Company refused to refund us and instead said we had to go 4 hours later which is unacceptable and unreasonable.
Hard to find tour meeting place. Guides vary - some good, some unfriendly and unhelpful. Some tours are very rushed, chaotic.
We had a wonderful time in Montmartre with our guide Daniel! He was very friendly and knowledgeable, and we enjoyed spending our morning with him. It was great to learn more about this part of Paris that we wouldn’t have know about otherwise. They were very accommodating and flexible for our start time as well. Highly recommend!
We loved this tour! Our tour guide (of course I’m blanking on her name right now; but we did the 6 pm tour on May 11) was awesome, she was so informative and funny, we had such a wonderful time. It was the perfect Montmartre tour! I highly recommend it!

Selda was an amazing historian and great tour guide! I was traveling with my 80 year old dad who doesn’t hear or walk 100%. Selda took the time to stop when he needed and talked directly to him so he could enjoy all the history she had to share. The walking tour was amazing and the e really enjoyed the experience!!!
Our guide was Selda. She was simply amazing!!! She had so much personality and was extremely knowledgeable. It was a very wet day but she made this tour extremely fun with the history of Montmarte.
