Magical Montmartre - We had a fantastic afternoon with Sebastien! He shared lovely sights from varying
points along the way to Montmartre, including a breathtaking view of Sacre-Coeur. The tour covered gems such as Maison Rose and Au Lapin Agile Cabaret. Sebastien’s
passion and enthusiasm for the city and its history is evident, and he demonstrated his extensive knowledge of Montmartre through fun, engaging stories that resonated with all members of our group. Sebastien made us all feel at ease, and we could ask him anything. He also provided a super helpful lesson on how to navigate the Metro, so we would feel more confident exploring the city after our tour on our own. Sebastien’s fluent English makes him easy to follow and understand. This tour exceeded our expectations and having Sebastien as a private guide made all the difference!

Montmartre … and More - This is a must-see with gorgeous sights and fascinating history! We saw all the top spots, including Sacre-Coeur, the artists’ hangouts, and a tiny vineyard. Sebastien is so flexible and accommodating, we asked him to help us with a restaurant reservation before our tour. He showed us how to eat escargot! Sebastien met us at our level of experience (beginner), but it’s clear he’s also a perfect guide for more sophisticated travelers. Another perk was Sebastien engaging with the locals to make our experience effortless, such as facilitating interactions while shopping. These special extras were a huge bonus and not offered by large group tours. An incredible tour by a top-notch guide!

Great Montmarte Tour - If you're looking for an unforgettable experience in Paris, I can't recommend the Montmartre Walking Tour enough, especially with Sebastian as your guide. From the moment we met, it was clear that Sebastian was not just a guide, but a passionate storyteller with a deep love for the history and charm of Montmartre. My sister and I had a great time.
The tour began in the lively heart of the district, where Sebastian painted vivid pictures of Montmartre's artistic past, from the iconic artists like Picasso and Van Gogh to the bohemian culture that once thrived here. He effortlessly navigated us through winding streets, and hidden spots that we would have never found on our own.
He had this incredible way of bringing the area's rich history to life, whether he was sharing stories about the artists who once lived in Montmartre or revealing little-known details about famous landmarks like the Sacré-Cœur Basilica and the windmills.
The pace of the tour was perfect—relaxed enough to take in the sights, but informative and engaging the entire time. Sebastian was always happy to answer questions, and his warmth and enthusiasm made the whole experience feel personal and immersive. It truly felt like we were discovering Montmartre with a local friend.
We also appreciated how Sebastian took the time to point out some hidden gems—vineyard, paint street posts, and quiet streets—where we could enjoy the authentic atmosphere of Montmartre without the typical crowds. It made the tour feel like a special insider's guide to the area.
If you’re planning to visit Montmartre, do yourself a favor and book this tour—you won’t regret it!
