Hugo gave us a wonderful, super informative & engaging tour of the Montmartre district. The area is beautiful but Hugo's story telling & knowledge is what really kept us eager to hear more. We would absolutely recommend this tour and if you're lucky enough to get Hugo, enjoy! He also have us a great recommendation for dinner which we thoroughly enjoyed!

this little tour was by far our favorite out of all the tours we did while staying in Paris. Our tour guide was over the top fabulous. He had a great sense of humor, and he knew the area very well. He was a wealth of knowledge. He pointed out lots of little things that we never would have seen on our own. Loved everything we saw from Moulin Rouge to Sacre Coeur. I could spend a week just walking the streets of Montmartre.

Tamari was our guide and was amazing! It felt like we were on a casual walk with an old friend through her neighborhood. She shared so much with us her passion for the history and area was apparent from the start. We had no idea what to expect going in to this tour and we’re thrilled afterward. I would say it was probably the best guided tour I have ever been on. Fascinating information, history and a great guide in Tamari!

Tamari was a wonderful guide! We learned so much from her on a very pleasant late afternoon tour. We were lost and she helped us get to her so we could meet for our tour.

Spent a lovely 2.5 hours with my guide, Hugo, who was very knowledgeable and hit all the places you would hope to see if you're a fan of the art and architecture that makes Montmartre so well known to us today. The small group format was a big plus. We were only a group of three and got to ask questions, stop for photos, and take our time. Highly recommend this experience!

Georgia was incredible! She was knowledgeable and engaging and made it seem like it was her first time doing this tour as she was as excited as we were. She is a gem and we would recommend her and this tour a million times! We will definitely do this again!
