“Our guide Julie couldn’t have been a better person to show us around Montmarte. She was a true resident who’d been living in the area for a number of years. She was really kind, funny, super knowledgeable about the food and best cultural facts about the area. The desserts were the best part, but I felt like there was still a little to be desired in terms of stops, I would’ve loved to enjoyed a crepe or partake in more of the shops before the climb. That said, to finish in a solid brasserie right next to such an iconic view and landmark, made the hike worth it. Julie did…”

“Catherine is a phenomenal tour guide. Montmartre is such an interesting area to explore, but so much of the history and charm would have escaped us if we would have gone on our own.

“I want to start by saying this clearly: the tour itself was very good, and our guide Simon was outstanding. However, the price charged for this tour (€166) is extremely difficult to justify, and that is the primary reason for this review. First, credit where it is absolutely due. Simon was exceptional — knowledgeable, enthusiastic, engaging, and genuinely passionate about Paris and its history. His explanations were clear, insightful, and delivered with great energy throughout the day. He was attentive to the group, answered questions thoughtfully, and did everything possible to ensure we had a positive experience. His professionalism and enthusiasm truly elevated the tour.

“Our guide ( Yazim?) was really lovely and engaging. My only comment was that it perhaps should have been advertised as an art history tour. It was fascinating to learn all he told us but tour went on a lot of extra time. Wasn’t a problem for us but maybe too much talking at some points. Still, it was a great afternoon. Would recommend.”
