Private Tour of Montmartre

Enjoy a private two-hour guided tour of Montmartre for you and your group.

We start our tour at Place des Abbesses – where we ponder the Roman beginnings of the area, imagine our surroundings in the 1100s and even spot a few Art Nouveau gems – before wending our way up the hill at a gentle pace.

We discover what remains of Montmartre’s windmills, vineyards and (in)famous haunts of the artist community, and take in the views from the top of the hill. The tour ends at Sacré-Coeur Basilica, a fascinating – and surprisingly recent – chapter in the history of Paris.

Along the way, we’ll point out our favourite coffee stops, suggestions for lunch or dinner, and other unmissable places to visit during your time in Montmartre.

If you have already visited some of Montmartre, we can adapt the tour route accordingly. In any case, we’ll visit must-see monuments and Instagram spots, as well as pausing to discover more about the people who made Paris what it is today. Depending on our pace and route, we’ll aim to see:

• Place des Abbesses
• The Wall of I Love Yous 💙🤍❤️
• Eglise Saint-Jean de Montmartre
• The Bateau-Lavoir artist community – home of Picasso and Modigliani
• The Maison Colignon grocery store – featured in the film Amélie
• Dalida’s house
• Moulin de la Galette – the setting of Renoir’s famous painting
• Rue de l’Abreuvoir – made famous by Emily in Paris
• Eglise Saint-Pierre de Montmartre and Place du Tertre
• Sacré-Coeur Basilica
• And some incredible views!
