Highlights
  • Montmartre - Every year many visitors flock to Montmartre, but most miss out on the authentic hidden side of this special place. Away from the crowds, you can still find the Montmartre of Picasso, Toulouse Lautrec and Van Gogh, where artists lived, drank and painted, exchanging their paintings for food and art supplies. Hear their fascinating stories and those of the raucous cabarets and music halls where the French Cancan was invented.

Today Montmartre remains a delightful and typical quarter of Paris, proud of its history and inhabited by Monmartrois who remain passionate about their unique neighborhood. Explore tiny alleyways, evocative cobbled streets and quiet squares, discover a beautiful working vineyard and lively café terraces. See the artist’s square, where modern day artists still gather each day to paint and sell their works, and admire the spectacular views over the city from the foot of the Sacré Coeur.

Discover the real Montmartre, one of the best-kept secrets in the city.

Exceptional and unexpected private tour - Exceptional tour that turned out to be private since we were the only couple. Our guide, Marianne [sp], was so knowledgeable and we learned so many things about the Latin Quarter. She brought the entire area to life. Highly recommended!

Loved our fun tour of the Latin Quarter! - We had a great tour of the Latin Quarter with Paula. She was very energetic and lots of fun. We saw a number of great sites, heard great stories (and advice) and ended up learning a lot about the area. Definitely worth the price of the tour! Wholeheartedly recommend!
