Montmartre food and wine walking tour with eight tastings, small-group guide, and hilltop views of Paris from Sacré-Cœur.
“Our guide Julie couldn’t have been a better person to show us around Montmarte. She was a true resident who’d been living in the area for a number of years. She was really kind, funny, super knowledgeable about the food and best cultural facts about the area. The desserts were the best part, but I felt like there was still a little to be desired in terms of stops, I would’ve loved to enjoyed a crepe or partake in more of the shops before the climb. That said, to finish in a solid brasserie right next to such an iconic view and landmark, made the hike worth it. Julie did…”
A 90-minute Notre-Dame and Île de la Cité walking tour with exterior stops and included entry to the archaeological crypt underneath.
“Our tour guide was amazing! She was very friendly, engaging, and extremely knowledgeable. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an interesting tour of the exterior grounds of Notre Dame in Paris.”
A 3-hour Paris Montmartre walk with a local guide, 8 tasting stops of cheese, wine, pastries, chocolate, plus Sacré Coeur views.
“This was a fabulous tour with a fabulous tour guide, Julie, who lives in Montmartre and gave us a little history of the area in addition to the tastings. At each of our stops we got a taste of delectable, quintessentially French food and a real sense of why the French take such pride in their cuisine. Everything was incredibly fresh—quiche, a marvelous “merveilleux,” a macaron made that morning (usually a dry, thawed-out tasteless cookie from La Durée) that has spoiled us for life, pork rillettes with a tapenade on the side, and even more before sitting for a gorgeous selection of cheeses and charcuterie with baguettes to accompany it…”
Montmartre, the Louvre or Orsay, Île de la Cité, Eiffel Tower views, and a Seine cruise in one 9-hour small-group day with prebooked tickets.

“Our tour leader, Ezra, was very friendly, welcoming and informative. His tour extended beyond the strict limits of the time allotted, to allow for questions and conversation. An outstanding experience!”
2-hour evening walk through central Paris, from public executions to Notre Dame symbols and haunted legends, led by an English guide.
“We were only a small group, but that didn't detract from the atmosphere as Morgan was nonetheless committed and gave us the best of his gruesome stories. As we were only adults, he also unpacked the most disturbing stories - so caution for sensitive people, but an absolute must for true crime fans!”
A small group night walk through Paris’s darker side, with a guide pointing out execution sites, Marie Antoinette’s prison, and gruesome legends.

“Max was an exceptional tour guide. He knew so much about the area, told us great information about the history, the art, the people, the buildings - it was incredible. He kept a great pace, such that my 7yo daughter was fully engaged and my 83yo mother could keep up. He’s charming, speaks many languages, and has a delightful demeanor. I can’t recommend him highly enough!”
Early access walking tour around Notre Dame and Île de la Cité, with guided highlights and interior time, plus optional Sainte-Chapelle.
“Our guide was so good! Nina was so fun and so well versed. She made the history of the cathedral come to life. She was funny and personable. The story of the cathedral came to life as she pointed out the details of the structure. She also knew so much about the history of Paris. Everyone in our group loved her and the entire tour. She made a point to include the children. Simply amazing experience!”
Small-group Versailles tour by RER train, with a guided gardens walk, timed Palace entry, and time to roam Hall of Mirrors and more.
