Montmartre tour in october 2023 - The guide we had was super chill and had a lot of knowlege of history. Speech was clear and easily understandable so even if ur english is not the best, u will catch the guides. In the tour we saw mouling rouge from outside. (Later at the evening we went to see cabare show inside which is definitely worth it!) We also saw Sacre-Coeur. It is pretentious for sure, if u have a chance go take a look inside too. Views from outside top of the hill are beautiful. The tour take us also to old windmill. The tourguide can give you good restaurant recommendations too!

So Fun! - This was actually our 2nd tour with Stellar Tours, we did the Orsay Muséum tour with them and enjoyed the guide (Alberto) so much we decided to take his Moulin Rouge tour as well. It was so fun! We saw the Moulin Rouge, windmills, and some local cabarets. The neighborhood is a little confusing so we were happy have Alberto’s guidance. Thanks!
