Walking through Montmartre feels like walking through a film set of Paris. On this 2.5-hour tour, your expert local guide will introduce you to the sights, the sounds and the famous characters who have called Montmartre home.
Your Montmartre Walking Tour meets at the Starbucks outside Metro Blanche (metro line 2) and finishes by the Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Paris.
All things quintessentially Parisian
Montmartre typifies all things quintessentially Parisian, from terrace cafes to romping bars and clubs, drunken can-can dancers to budding street artists and performers, bourgeois-bohemian apartments to tiny cobblestone streets. Your walking tour guide will take you to sites like the infamous Moulin Rouge, Paris's last surviving windmill and vineyard, and to the stunning Sacre Coeur, with its incredible views over Paris.
Meet some of Montmartre's most famous characters
While you're busy snapping pictures of some of Paris' impressive landmarks, you'll want to keep your ears open, as your tour guide tells you about all the incredible characters who have called Paris home. Walk up to Vincent van Gogh's house, see Picasso's studio (and the cabaret bar where he exchanged paintings for food) and hear why other artists from Dalí to Monet called Montmartre home. Hear the incredible legend of Paris's first bishop, headless Saint Denis, discover Paris's Red Light District, and see major sites from the hit film Amelie.
Join in for a drink at a local bar after the tour!
It wouldn't be a visit to Montmartre without a glass of wine after the tour. Your Montmartre walking tour guide will point out some of their favorite local bars in the area, and if they don't have another tour to get to, may even join you for a drink!
The independent guides who employ us to market their tours have your best interests in mind; while the tour usually includes the sites & stories mentioned and lasts about 2.5 hours, your tour may vary depending on what your guide thinks is best for your group

Montmarte District
The most amazing walking tour I’ve ever done and our tour guide Harry was incredible the way he spoke about places and things and the sort of interesting facts and details he gave about everything. If you’re in Paris I most certainly recommend the tour as you find and see things you possibly wouldn’t see just by walking around yourself.
Jake was a fantastic guide. He knew so much about Montmartre and shared it so well. If you are interested in Paris artists, finding bistros, learning about the history of the neighborhood or just want a beautiful view of the city, this is the tour for you.
We did the walking tour around Montmartre including some sights we had heard of and many we had not! Esteban was a fantastic guide, very informative, insightful and engaging. We saw a side to this part of Paris (where we were staying actually!) that we never knew and we are very glad we did! Thanks Esteban for a fantastic tour!
We took a walking tour of the Montmartre District with Sandeman's Esteban. It was a lovely experience. Esteban was a wonderful guide, he had very interesting stories and anecdotes as we roamed the streets in Montmarte and he also enlightened us with some great suggestions for restaurants. Worth every penny.
Did two tours with Sandeman's in Paris, the free walking tour with Rob and the tour of Montmartre District with Niall both tour were fantastic and well worth doing and a hi-light of our trip in Paris. I have many more tours booked Sandeman's during our holiday in Europe which I am looking forward too. Do yourself and favour and do at least one of these tours with Sandeman's.
