Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Olivia was a wonderful tour guide. Clearly, she knows history very well and the neighborhood. She was also very considerate of our group who did not move very fast and she tended to one of us who had a coughing fit during the tour, by running for a bottle of water."
"Lieber Paul, herzlichen Dank für die wunderbare Zeit mit Dir auf dem Montmartre. Wir haben gemeinsam sehr lecker gegessen, bezaubernde Ecken der Stadt erkundet, und vor allem, wir haben einen aufmerksamen und gewinnenden Menschen kennengelernt. Primetime with Paul. Das empfehlen wir gerne weiter. Wilfried Gaul-Canjé aus Neuss am Rhein"
"Absolutely worth doing the Trip with Paolo. Lots of interesting details. We were a family of four, the children being 17 and 20. Both not at all interested in being guided around, in arts and especially not that evening. In the end, they asked a lot of questions and told us, that Paolo was great and despite they didn't want to go out again, it was worth it participating. My husband and I loved the tour and the way, Paolo presented all the information. He was humerous, had lots of patience with the kids and didn't loose the good mood so in the end, all of us had a really good time. Thanks so much, Paolo!"
" Our family recently had the pleasure of joining Maxime on a food tour in Paris, and it turned out to be one of the most memorable experiences of our trip! My 8-year-old daughter, my husband, and I all left the tour with full stomachs and happy hearts, thanks to Maxime's exceptional guidance and expertise. First and foremost, Maxime is a true foodie. His passion and knowledge about food shine through in every stop he takes you to. The selections he made were impeccable—each bite was a testament to his refined taste. Beyond that, Maxime is a cheese expert, and we learned so much from him about different types of cheeses, how they’re made, and even the best bread pairings to enhance their flavors. It was an educational and delicious experience rolled into one! What truly sets Maxime apart is his warm personality and ability to make you feel at ease. He’s incredibly easy to talk to, full of fascinating insights, and genuinely cares about making the tour enjoyable for everyone. He doesn't just treat you as a customer; he treats you as a friend. Another highlight of the tour was Maxime’s flexibility and thoughtfulness. When he learned that we had a plane to catch later that day, he made adjustments to ensure we could enjoy the tour without feeling rushed. For instance, he prepared a pie ahead of time to save us precious minutes—such a considerate touch that truly went above and beyond. The food was, of course, outstanding. The oysters Maxime introduced us to were some of the best we’ve ever had—fresh, briny, and absolutely unforgettable! And he didn’t stop there; he took us to a secret spot that I won’t reveal to avoid spoiling the surprise for future guests. Let’s just say it was a magical experience that made us feel like true locals. It’s a place we’d never have discovered on our own, and it was the perfect way to cap off the tour. Maxie is diligent to send us a list of cheese that he shared with us afterwards! Thank you. Overall, Maxime made this food tour the highlight of our Paris trip. His expertise, kindness, and attention to detail created a unique experience we’ll always treasure. If you’re looking for an extraordinary food tour in Paris, don’t hesitate—book with Maxime. You won’t regret it! "
"This tour was a wonderful way to see the vibrant and bustling Monmartre! Maxime shared his love for the food, the experience of food as part of the culture, and for Paris in general. He is a true professional and a student of his craft, not only sharing the history of the foods we tried and helping us understand what made each stop special, but also, explaining the history of Monmartre in a way that kept even my 16 year old engaged! For those that may wonder, the food was plenty and we were very full by the end! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Maxime for any of the tours he offers - you won't be disappointed. "
"Anukool was a great tour guide and a really nice guy. My family really enjoyed our time with him as we ate our way through Montmartre. The restaurant selections were excellent and his knowledge of the history and culture were top notch. We would highly recommend this tour with Anukool. "
"Super leuke ervaring , Ali is spontaan en vertelt alles heel leuk en duidelijk . Leuk dat je op plekken komt waar je normaal niet zou komen . Aanrader! "
"My husband and I took a food tour in Montmartre with Anukool and he was extremely knowledgeable about so many different types of cultures. We had conversations that compared France to other countries throughout the world. We got to enjoy some delicious dishes and pastries we would’ve never thought to try on our own, but with Anukool’s guidance we found some new favorites. If you’re looking for a guide that has worldly knowledge, then this is the guide for you! "
"Absolutely magical! We had the pleasure of spending an unforgettable afternoon in Montmartre with Olivia as our guide, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we met, it was clear Olivia is a true local—her knowledge of Montmartre’s rich history, hidden corners, and vibrant art scene was incredible. She brought the neighborhood to life with stories that captivated all three generations of our family. Traveling as a group of five with very different tastes and interests—from grandparents to kids—can be a challenge, but Olivia handled it effortlessly. She tailored the tour perfectly, blending delicious food stops, fascinating historical tidbits, and breathtaking art and architecture. Each of us felt seen, heard, and delighted. Olivia is warm, engaging, and exceptionally thoughtful—we were completely charmed. This was, hands down, one of the highlights of our Paris trip. We would book with her again in a heartbeat and recommend her tour to anyone looking for an authentic, enriching, and thoroughly enjoyable experience in Montmartre. Bravo, Olivia!"
"We had a wonderful tour with Welly. He is knowledgeable, helpful, and has great communication. It was my husband, my 11 year old, and me. We all had a great time. My daughter was engaged the entire time. Thank you Welly! "

Our locals will give you the best experiences that Paris has to offer
Montmartre may look like a postcard, but it’s full of surprises once you know where to look. Here’s what our local guides love sharing on their private tours—fun facts, quiet corners, and stories that bring this hilltop neighborhood to life.
Most visitors stop at the steps. But behind the Sacré-Cœur is a quieter world of sloping lanes, secret gardens, and one of Paris’ last remaining vineyards. A local guide can lead you there—and tell you why this part of Montmartre feels like a village frozen in time.
Picasso, Dalí, and Van Gogh once walked these street, but Montmartre’s artistic soul didn’t disappear with them. Art is still very much alive here. With a local guide, you might meet a working artist, peek inside a hidden studio, or hear the story behind a colorful mural. You might even get the chance to sketch your own piece of Paris to take home. It’s not just about looking at art, it’s about feeling part of it.
Montmartre feels like a love letter to Paris itself. With a local guide, you’ll discover the most romantic corners that are beyond the usual spots. From the famous ‘I Love You Wall’ to quiet staircases overlooking the rooftops, each place has its own charm. Whether you’re planning a proposal, snapping a sweet photo, or just sharing a peaceful moment, these spots are perfect for making memories together.
The best crêpes in Montmartre aren’t found in the busy spots. Your guide knows the little corner places where the crêpes are warm, buttery, and made with care. It’s the kind of place where you slow down, enjoy every bite, and feel a little more like a local. And if you’re not ready to leave the moment behind, your guide might suggest a quiet café nearby to keep the cozy mood going.
Tucked away on a Montmartre hillside is something you wouldn’t expect in the middle of Paris... a working vineyard! It produces just a small batch of wine each year, often auctioned off for a local charity. The wine isn’t famous for its flavor, but for its story. With a local guide, you’ll hear all about its quirky history, the neighborhood traditions that keep it going, and why this little vineyard means so much to the community.
Everyone knows the Moulin Rouge, but few people realize Montmartre still has real windmills. With a local guide, you can walk past one of the originals and imagine the days when this hill was filled with vineyards and flour mills. Van Gogh once painted the windmills of Montmartre, capturing a slower, rural version of Paris that still lingers in the quiet corners of the neighborhood today.
The view from Sacré-Cœur is iconic, but it often comes with crowds and chaos. A local guide can lead you to a quieter spot where the Paris skyline stretches out in front of you, without a single elbow in sight. And while you’re there, why not pair the view with a stop at a nearby cheese shop or a family-run wine cellar? It’s the perfect way to take in the city with your eyes and your taste buds.
The Moulin Rouge is known for its flashing lights and famous can-can, but its history goes far deeper. From cabaret legends to wartime secrets and bohemian rebellion, the stories behind the red windmill are as bold as the shows themselves. With a local guide, you’ll hear what really happened here and how Montmartre’s nightlife still carries that same creative, rebellious spirit today.
It’s hard to imagine today, but Montmartre was once a village outside the city limits of Paris. Before the streets were paved and the cafés were crowded, this hill was a peaceful countryside escape. With a local guide, you can still trace that past in hidden gardens, old stone walls, and narrow lanes that feel untouched by time. Even as Paris grew around it, Montmartre held onto its charm. You can still feel in every corner today.
Montmartre is best explored with a curious mind and someone who knows its quiet corners. A local guide can take you beyond the main squares and into the heart of the neighborhood, where you’ll stumble upon winding staircases, tucked-away galleries, and hidden stories painted on the walls. It’s not about checking off a list. It’s about uncovering the kind of beauty you only find when you take your time and look a little closer.
