We booked this tour and had the best time thanks to our guide Eric. He took us off the beaten tourist path to see the unique street art, the history of Montmartre, including its architecture, where the famous artists (starving artists at the time) lived, the story of Saint Denis and the inside scoop on Parisian, specifically, Montmartre, food. He was the perfect guide if you don’t want to just hit the crowded tourists traps. Merci beaucoup Eric!

How much walking is there?

There is about 2 miles of walking uphill at a very leisurely pace. There may be short flights of
stairs throughout the tour, both up and down. If mobility is an issue, please inquire about a
private tour.

Does the tour happen in all weather?

Yes. Please dress accordingly.

What happens if I am late and miss the group?

It is important to arrive at the tour starting location at least 10-15 minutes prior to the
start time, as we do start the tour promptly. It would be unfair for the others if we need to
wait for those that are late. We cannot guarantee you’ll be able to find your tour group if you
are late.

Is there food and drink available for purchase during the tour?

About half-way through the tour there is a short break when you can purchase food or drink and
when the tour ends you will be near other food options.

What is the tipping or gratuities policy?

Tips are always appreciated by our guides, but never expected. They should be given if you believe
your guide did an outstanding job, and further, if you as an individual want to demonstrate your
appreciation to the guide for that job well done.

Important Restrictions

Please arrive 15 minutes early to check-in point as the tour starts on time. You may not be able to catch up to the tour if late.
