Alasdair S made this Montmartre tour terrific! - Our tour guide, Alasdair S, was a font of knowledge on the art, artists and history of Montmartre and made our 2.5 hr walking tour in the evening most enjoyable. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to know more about the hill that was annexed into Paris. Our tour began in front of Moulin Rouge and ended at Sacre Coeur. It was gentle walking but up the hill over the course of the tour. Many stops to talk and point out items of interest made this very doable for our 50+ aged group.

Would totally do it again. Alasdair is great - “Alasdair is great! We visited with our kids and they loved it. He makes the tour truly enjoyable by helping you immerse yourself in what Montmartre was like back then, so you can really feel the town’s dynamics. He also uses light role-playing to illustrate the history, and it works wonderfully. I’ve visited France three times, and this was the first time I truly grasped the Montmartre vibe. Highly recommended.

Mother-Daughter Adventure - Our tour of the Montmartre District was amazing! It exceeded expectations definitely because our tour guide, Francois, was so knowledgeable about the area’s art history, sociological evolution, and architecture. We booked a small private tour, but it ended up just being me and my daughter on the tour. Such a bonus! Francois was able to tailor our tour to what interested us most - art, culture, women in French history, Amelie, and beautiful spaces! It was a bonus that it was a beautiful fall evening and Francois knew the best little streets and locations that weren’t crowded and touristy. It helped us get a feel for what it would be like to be a local. We also learned so much about French history! It was a 2.5 hour walking tour, and Francois’s story-telling ability and delightful tidbits of information made this experience highly enjoyable! Five plus stars for sure!!!

One of the best tours! - This tour was one of the best ever - our tour guide was incredible! Alasdair was engaging, entertaining but most of all extremely knowledgeable about the history of the area. He made this tour memorable and fun. We feel like we now have a greater appreciation for this important part of Paris and its considerable contribution to the arts.

Montmatre with Alisdair - a must do !! - A must do tour if you’re visiting the sights of Montmartre. Alisdair was fantastic!!! We chose the 5pm tour that lasted approximately 2.5hrs and it was money well spent. A million times better than wandering around yourself. If you’re lucky enough to get him, Alisdair’s story telling was next level - elevated us into the world of the 1800-1900’s - a bygone era for famous artists and iconic places around the area. Captivating tour, even in the rain - tour ends near Sacre Coeur (recommended to visit after tour with free entry)! Thanks again Alisdair for such a fun and fascinating tour - We loved it!!!

Very accommodating tour guide - Our tour guide Eden was very knowledgeable regarding the Montmartre area and was very accommodating of my mobility issues. She allowed for me to get up the hills at a slower pace without creating a difficult situation for the others on the tour. She also provided her cellphone number so we could meet at Sacre Coeur as I took the funicular to the top while she climbed the stairs with the others.
