Montmarte pastry tour - It was a rainy and cold day when we did the tour; however, Lancelot was an amazing guide and truly made the most of it. His energy and knowledge completely elevated the experience. We sampled four incredible pastries — from delicate petit meringue cakes to a traditional French cake — along with a classic French hot chocolate. Everything was absolutely delicious. In addition to the food, we learned so much about the Montmartre area and the many famous residents who once lived there. The history and stories added so much depth to the experience. One important note: be prepared for a lot of walking. There are plenty of hills, stairs, and both ascending and descending steps. By the end, you will definitely have earned a beverage (and maybe a few extra pastries!). Would we do the tour again? Yes — absolutely. However, we would be mindful of who we bring along, simply because of the amount of walking and stairs involved.

What’s not to like ! yummy pastries, history and storytelling. - Fascinating tour about the history of Paris, the Montmarte area and the artists who spent their time there. On top of that visited some yummy pastry shops / artisan producers who all had a very interesting story. Loik my guide is an excellent story teller. I have visited Montmartre many times but for the first time, I really felt connected to it.

Exactly what we were looking for in a tour! - Book this experience! If you’re curious about Montmartre (and you should be, it’s a completely unique neighborhood in Paris full of history, art, and the joyous living of Parisian life, not to mention phenomenal food, shopping and views), you cannot find a better tour guide than Loki. He knows so much about the area, is friendly and funny, and has EXCELLENT taste in pastries and chocolate. Incorporating both history and sweets is a great way to please everyone. My 17 year old daughter and I were his only clients on a rainy Tuesday and so our group tour turned into a private one. I can’t say enough good things about our experience. If we had more time (and energy!) we’d have booked more of his tours, no question. If you’re looking at this tour, or any time with Loki, I promise you’ll be thrilled.

This was a super well... - This was a super well balanced tour! Just enough information not to be overwhelmed, and you can always ask and discuss any additional facts and questions, but the desserts along the way are phenomenal too - Loïk has brilliant taste! If you're looking for some fun chill activity while in Paris - book this tour. You'll hear interesting stories not only about Montmartre but Paris in general, and you'll also meet some of the people behind the delicious sweets. If you're going on the tour during lower temperatures of the year, I recommend grabbing a cup of your favorite warm beverage to not only keep away the cold for at least a little while but to also balance out the sweetness of the desserts.
