Why Take a Montmartre Tour?
Montmartre is one of Paris’s most enchanting neighborhoods — full of history, charm, and artistic spirit. Of all the guided tours of Paris, being accompanied by a local makes perfect sense.
But beyond the postcard views of the Sacré-Cœur, the hill of Montmartre hides fascinating stories, secret streets, and local legends.
A guided Montmartre tour lets you discover the area’s rich bohemian past, famous artists, and village atmosphere — with insights you’d likely miss on your own.
It’s one of the best ways to experience the authentic, timeless Paris that travelers fall in love with.
Top Highlights of Montmartre
Here are some of the highlights you’ll discover on a Montmartre walking tour:
Sacré-Cœur Basilica
Towering over Paris, the Sacré-Cœur Basilica is the heart of Montmartre.
Your guide will share the history of this striking white-domed church, its construction, and its place in the cultural identity of the neighborhood.
And of course, you’ll enjoy panoramic views over Paris from the terrace!
Place du Tertre & Artists
Place du Tertre remains the lively center of Montmartre’s artistic life — where painters and sketch artists display their work outdoors, just as they have for decades. Your guide will explain the traditions of Montmartre’s plein air artists, and you’ll have time to browse or even commission a portrait.
