About this tour
A two-hour guided walking tour of Montmartre led by an English-speaking guide, taking in the white-domed Sacré-Cœur Basilica at Paris's highest point and the neighbourhood's winding streets where Impressionist painters once worked. You'll hear stories of Picasso, Van Gogh, and Toulouse-Lautrec while stopping at viewpoints overlooking the city. A meal is included—breakfast with juice, coffee, and pastry, or lunch and dinner with three courses.

What to expect
Your guide meets you and leads a steady pace through Montmartre's quiet squares and steep lanes, stopping frequently to point out artist haunts and historical landmarks. Expect narrow pavements, stairs, and uneven cobbles as you climb towards Sacré-Cœur. Once at the basilica terrace, the city spreads below—a proper payoff for the effort. The meal happens at a designated restaurant (timing varies by tour). Bring comfortable walking shoes; this isn't a stroll, it's a proper exploration.
Good to know
