Private Montmartre Walking Tour
From Artists to Lovers: A Montmartre walking tour through Paris’ most famous village!
With both grand monuments and quieter alleyways, Montmartre is the perfect blend of peaceful reverie and bustling artist quarters. Our tour takes you through the charming streets of Paris’ hilltop village, and a side of the city that seems like a postcard or a forgotten film.
Together we'll get lost (metaphorically, of course) in the quaint winding streets – past rue des Abreuvoirs, the most beautiful street in Paris, to la Maison Rose, a café celebrated for its picturesque pink facade and artistic history, to some of Montmartre's more iconic monuments. You'll see the Sacré-Cœur, bien sûr, and finish at the legendary Moulin Rouge – perfectly positioned for you to explore the trendy restaurants of South Pigalle après.

Meeting Point
Our Private Montmartre Walking Tour meets outside the bistro Chez Ginette, 101 Rue Caulaincourt, Paris 75018.
The bistro is directly beside the exit of the Metro line 12 (Lamarck – Caulaincourt).
As you exit the station, simply head up the stairs, the café is directly on your left.
We recommend using the free app City Mapper to navigate your way around Paris.
Tour Highlights
Meander through Montmartre's picturesque back-alleys in the lost village in the capital – including Rue de l’abreuvoir and la Maison Rose.
The gleaming white basilica crowns the highest hill in Paris, where you'll be rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views stretching across the entire city – c'est toujour pretty.
We'll head to Bateau Lavoir to see what inspired one of the greats to be so avant-garde with his art.
More than just a windmill, the Moulin Rouge and its cultural impact are still felt today. We'll cancan over to see it in its glory.

Excellent tour. Lola & Clara were so knowledgeable and friendly! We learned some interesting history and facts about Montmartre and visited sights we likely would have missed otherwise. This tour is a great way to explore the neighborhood while avoiding the crowds. Bonus: the restaurant recommendations were some of the best food we had in Paris. Highly recommended, especially if you are on a tight timeline but want to see this incredible neighborhood!
A must do in Montmartre - I joined the Montmartre walking tour in the morning and this was truly interesting and well arranged. Lola the lead tour guide is animated and a great story teller. She knew a lot and shared many stories about the neighbourhood that kept us engaged. Her team is also helpful and taking good care of us. The tour trail is easy to follow but full of fascinating sights. I would totally recommend this to anyone who’s visiting Montmartre, a must do!
Doing this walking tour with Lola was such a lovely start to my Paris trip! She was very knowledgeable and could tell how much she loved this city and gave so many fantastic recommendations and facts about the city. Would do again and so recommend to everyone!

A beautiful start to your stay in Paris! This tour of Montmartre was such an exquisite window into a neighborhood of Paris perched above the regular hustle and bustle. It was a beautiful way to begin our time in Paris and our tour guide, Lola, was exceptional! She brought the neighborhood to even greater life with detailed stories of history that were rich with color, passion and sometimes- even celebration.
Stealth mode Montmartre Walking Tour - must do! Great walking tour of a unique area of Paris. Most visitors enter the area from the front door, uphill, with all of the crowds. This tour you enter the Sacred-Coeur Basilica from the back, the streets, vineyard, unique homes, Maison Rose are all setting you up for a great tour. It was a beautiful fall day and the leaves and sky were perfect. Lola - our tour guide - did a great job explaining/describing the key sights, and the uniqueness of Montmartre. What a great agenda for a tour. Highly recommend it!
This was my third tour booked with Boutique Tours, and a fourth one is upcoming. The walking tour of Montmartre was excellent. The chosen route is a wonderful overview of the area, its history, people, places, events, art & views. The visual aids of vintage postcards & old photographs was a thoughtful addition to the tour. I learned so much. Lola & Clara, our two friendly and enthusiastic guides, informed and engaged us the entire time. I highly recommend taking this tour, as it will expand your knowledge and appreciation of Paris. Thank you for another top notch tour! Keep up the great work!
