What You Will Do
Discover the magic of Montmartre on this captivating 90-minute private walking tour, where history, art, and culture come alive. Once home to artists like Van Gogh, this charming neighborhood has inspired creativity for centuries.
Begin at the I Love You Wall, a romantic art piece displaying “I Love You” in over 300 languages. Wander through Montmartre’s winding streets, passing landmarks like the Moulin de la Galette, painted by Renoir, the historic Rue des Abbesses, several unusual art pieces, the city’s only vineyard, and more.
Atop Montmartre, enjoy breathtaking views from the Sacré-Cœur Basilica while learning about its striking 19th-century architecture. If open, you’re welcome to explore the basilica on your own after the tour — it’s free to enter.
From there, stroll around the basilica and head to Place du Tertre, a lively square filled with artists and cozy terraces. The tour ends at La Bonne Franquette, a historic restaurant once frequented by Van Gogh and Monet.

Natalie was great! Nice pace for everyone. Clear loud voice. We were a large Enflish speaking group, occ struggled to understand titles of French things( our fault)
Montmarte deserves a guide.

Linda was great taking us on a private tour of Montmarte. She was personable, knowledgeable, and considerate. Montmarte is a place where some local knowledge really pays off. Otherwise, you will just see the tourist traps. Do your research well, or get a guide.
