Quiet tour with nice guide, who spoke poor English. His knowledge was pretty good. But difficult to understand, which made the long journey through mont martre (1.5 hours) boring. Hence the somewhat lower rating.’
Tour on 5/2/25 by Jeremy. This tour turned out to be much better than I expected. Even though it was his first guided tour, he performed well above the level of an average tour guide. He is very informed, the route was well selected, and presentation was well prepared.
Philippe is very friendly. He showed us around Montmartre Sacré Coeur. It was a nice visit with my parents who enjoyed the history and the atmosphere
Nice tour of local area and chapel. Plenty of information received about the local area It was a very personal tour with great local knowledge.
I didn't find the tour guide at the meeting point. I got no response after contacting the operator. They took my money for nothing.
It was in interest tour but the area is so busy it is difficult to hear the guide. We were only 2 on the tour, any more would have been impossible. The tour is only for able bodied people with a certain level of fitness as lots of stairs snd hills. The guide doesn’t take you into the church, only the streets but you can use the ticket to get into the church.
Very good Guide. An interesting tour. My son really enjoyed the Guide and explanations. Very beautiful and characteristic places.
our guide was amazing but i wish your company had a sign or shirt to know whom to look for…. extremely enjoyable
This was the best guided tour I had in Paris. The guide showed us around in the Montmartre quarter and talked about its current state and the area‘s history. There was just the right amount of information - not too much and not too little! Despite the inclement weather, we had a good time and got to know unusual Montmartre. Unfortunately, we lost our guide in Sacre-Cœur a few moments before the ending of our tour as there were many visitors in the church.
I loved the stories that were told. The experience was very interesting and enjoyable with a good hearty stroll. The artists in the square were phenomenal and so nice to see.
