What other guests say about our tours and locals
"Olivia provided us with wonderful tastes of iconic French foods catered to our tastes. As we walked through Montmartre she shared tidbits of history and architecture of the area. We had a delightful three hours with Olivia and highly recommend her. "
"We loved spending time with Liv while she showed off her own neighborhood of Montmartre. Liv is very knowledgable and we learned so much from her. She is warm and friendly and we spent quite a bit of time just relaxing and chatting. I felt like I was with a friend. We would highly recommend her for any tour she may be offering, you will be very happy with her!! Thanks again Liv!!"
"It would be difficult not to connect with Giedre. You'll delight in her joy of Paris' many hidden spots. More than once on the tour, we ducked from the busy main road into a magical courtyard the hurried passers-by missed entirely. Some of them, seeing her, did the same. They always had an expression of wonder that said, "I never knew this was here!" All our cares were gone, as we knew we were in good hands. She was also adaptable, and keen to know what would work best for us."
"We booked our Montmartre tour with Max on a rainy and gloomy winter day. Max was a great sport, led us through hidden alleys and passageways. We stopped to warm up in churches and coffee shop. The area is spectacular and it helped to have a knowledgeable guide to discover gems off the beaten path. Maxime is a history and art buff, and will gladly engage in philosophical and cultural discussions. Book him if these subjects resonate with you too. He sent us off with suggestions for further discoveries and restaurant recommendations. "
"Nella gave us an artistic tour of Montmatre and it was extremely fascinating. She is very personable and engaging. We had a fun few hours together learning and seeing so much. Do not hesitate to book a tour with her. The price-value of all With Locals tours in Paris are very very expensive compared to others I have taken in Italy and Spain but not Nella’s fault."
"Welly was excellent. We were on a river cruise and had a day in Paris; we were entirely tired of being herded and shearing the earphones provided so we decided not to do the tours offered by the ship and book privately at the last minute (same day!!) I made a tourist mistake while booking (got the district mixed up) and Welly immediately got into action and recommended an alternative. He was very gracious and even picked us up at our hotel! He arrived promptly and we started our tour going on the subway (cool experience); he showed us how to buy tickets and gave us other tips. Very informative. For the next 3 hours we walked, talked, asked questions, stopped as needed, learned a ton and he’s super helpful, knowledgeable and speaks perfect English! I can’t say enough good things about Welly and our overall experience. "
"Andrea has a love of history and how it all works. As we walked through Montmartre, with various stops along the way, he easily relayed how the neighborhood evolved over the years and the role the arts and other social factors played in that evolution. Andrea makes wonderful connections between the present and the past. These connections made for a lively walk and wonderful conversations about the past and present and future with a beautiful neighborhood spurring it all on, hosted by Andrea."
"Alpha was prompt and friendly and knowledgeable...she was raised there. Saw some of her favorite places, truly frequented mainly by locals! She was fun and easy paced and always considerate of us. My girlfriend had toured with her before. We recommend her and will tour with her again the next time in Paris. Thank you!"
"Nella was fantastic! She's a wealth of knowledge - sharing so much info about the history, art and local montmarte culture. She's warm, welcomes questions and provides great suggestions on local places to check out! "
"Meeting up with Paulette was easy. I’m so glad we did this tour with her on our first full day in Montmartre. She encouraged me to spend time exploring angles and focus with my iPhone and entertained my artist, not photographer, husband at the same time. We learned about the area. We timed the walk such that we were able to take photos in three different lights which was great fun. Day, golden hour and night. I would have liked a bit more direction back to our starting point before she left us in front of Moulin Rouge. "

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.
Discover Montmartre’s romantic streets, historic cafés, and bohemian charm on a private tour. Learn about artists, secret spots, and the real Parisian vibe with a local guide who knows every corner.
