The Secrets of Montmartre Free Tour
♡ Save


Experience the Paris of your dreams! This 2-hour Montmartre tour takes you from the Moulin Rouge to the Sacré-Cœur. Walk the hilltop of artists and rebels to discover the true bohemian soul of this iconic village.
From the neon lights of the Moulin Rouge to the white domes of the Sacré-Cœur, Montmartre’s story stretches from a quiet rural village of windmills to the wild, bohemian heart of the Belle Époque. But the real magic? It’s waiting for you in the vine-covered alleyways and hidden studios of the "Hill of Martyrs".
On this 2-hour tour, step into the most romantic district in the world and uncover the lives of the "starving artists" who changed history. Led by a passionate local guide, you’ll wander in the footsteps of Van Gogh, Picasso and Dalí, passing by the iconic Moulin de la Galette and the "I Love You" wall, all brought to life with energy, stories of scandalous cabarets and insider knowledge of the city's creative pulse.
More than just an art tour, this experience is the perfect way to introduce you to the spirit of Paris (and to our unique way of exploring!). By the end, you’ll not only understand why these winding streets inspired global masterpieces, you’ll know where to find the best local crêpes, how to navigate the city’s highest hill like a pro and how to make the most of your time like a true Parisian.
