Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"We had a lovely morning with Olivia as we strolled through the streets of Montmarte learning about the history of the locals and the architecture. Olivia was knowledgeable and insightful, easy to chat to and answered all our questions!! Our trip culminated in the views from Sacre Couer which was a delightful way to end! Thank you for our morning and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Olivia for future guests!"
"My 9 year old daughter and I had our expectations exceeded on our morning with Joao, learning about Montmartre and getting to taste amazing croissants and coffee. We took pictures in areas we wouldn't have known about as well as classic vistas, such a wonderful momento. Also, my daughter learned about composition and ways to make her photos more interesting. Thanks Joao, that was a perfect last experience in Paris!"
"Julien was absolutely wonderful. His knowledge of the art in the Orsay was limitless and informative. He tailored his talk to his specialized knowledge and to our tastes. We are almost experts on Cezanne now! He paced the walking tour at Montmartre to our interests and abilities. He spent extra time with us to ensure this day was memorable and not exhausting. A kinder guide you could not ask for!"
"We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Oliva. She was knowledgeable about the area and had rapport with the locals in the establishments we visited. This was a great opportunity for my kids to try some new foods. My daughter discovered a new love for Quiche Lorraine and the crepes that we ended with were incredible. It was a good mix of savory and sweet, food, and beverage, with time to sit and rest at some of the stops. She also shared just the right amount of info about the culture, history and art of the area. Highly recommend."
"Lucien was an incredible host in Paris! We learnt a lot about art, history and local culture. We highly reccommend him if you are in Paris"
"We had a wonderful evening with João around the Louvre and Palais Royal. The photos he took were amazing. What a wonderful way to remember our trip to Paris. I could highly recommend this tour "
"Olivia was very knowledgeable and kind. She did a good job of modifying the tour to meet the needs of our kids. Our only thing was that she walks fast! 😊"
"Ana came with an iPad to show photos that enhanced her tour. She was very well prepared and I learned a lot. It was all interesting and I left with lots of ideas for the rest of my stay. I am glad I decided to do this and also glad I did it early in my trip, as I took her advice on some other activities. Thank you Ana."
"Anukool was fantastic! Knowledgeable, friendly, engaging, and he made the climb to Sacré-Cœur gradual, informative and fun. He did his best to keep us cool on one of the hottest days in Paris ever! His background stories on people and places were interesting. If we come back to Paris we’ll definitely request him again. Thank you, Anukool!!"
"Our tour with Jay was great, he kept the energy going and had very interesting facts and insights about area and Paris, would definetely book with him again and reccomend him to anyone looking to explore Paris in an energetic and interesting way! "

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.
