This exclusive walking tour lasts about two and a half hours and focuses on the Montmartre district in Paris. Starting near the famed Moulin Rouge cabaret, the guide leads you up the hill through cobbled streets to see the former homes of artists such as Van Gogh and Picasso. At the top, you enter the Sacré-Coeur Basilica, a white church completed in 1914, where you can view its large mosaic of Jesus Christ and take photos of Paris from one of its highest points. The tour covers key Montmartre sites including Place Dalida, the Jardin Sauvage de St-Vincent - an area preserved for its natural plants and wildlife - the hidden Le Clos Montmartre vineyard, and the Au Lapin Agile cabaret associated with the Bohemian artists before 1914. You also pass by the Place du Tertre, where artists paint and display their work, the Espace Dali museum featuring around 300 original Salvador Dali pieces, and the historic Bateau-Lavoir residence known for its artistic community since 1889. Additional stops include Van Gogh’s house on Rue Lepic, La Maison de Dalida where the singer lived, and the Art Nouveau Abbesses metro station designed by Hector Guimard. The tour runs rain or shine, includes a private guide exclusively for your group (unless booking the semi-private option), and lasts the full 2.5 hours. Hotel pickup is not included, so independent transport is advised.
