Languages: English, Spanish
Quality Verified Registered on July 05, 2017

Walkative was established in 2007 by a group of young enthusiasts who also happened to be licensed tour guides. Today, we operate in 20 cities in countries across all of Europe and beyond, including France, Germany, Poland, Italy, Ukraine and Israel. We have already guided more than 3 million tourists, with more than 350 000 in 2023 only! Despite this growth, we stay true to our values: be local and present the history of our cities in a professional, yet entertaining way, accessible for everybody, regardless their budget. We provide service not only in big, well established places like Berlin, Paris or Krakow, but also smaller, less known, yet no less fascinating locations, like Nice, Toruń or Lublin. We cooperate with highly trained, professional guides providing both engaging tip-based and regular fixed-price tours. And most importantly - we know our cities by heart! Join us and stay Walkative!

Tour description

If there's an alternative to Paris' classy centre, it's Montmartre! Known for its artsy vibe, winding streets, red mills and providing pleasures of both the mind and the body, this iconic location serves the Parisians and the world as both an inspiration... and a warning.

Please note that Montmartre is known for its uphill climbs, it's stairs, and it iconic cobblestone roads! Therefore, it is unfortunately not wheelchair friendly. It is doable with a stroller/pram, but getting up the stairs and navigating the cobblestones will prove to be a challenge for you.

Once a sleepy village located on the slopes of the Martyrs' Mountain, in the late 19th century Montmartre was transformed into the world capital of art. Couple that with a string of bohemian vagabonds settling here, and you've got yourself a mix like none other in the world. Monet, Renoir, Van Gogh, Picasso, Modigliani, Matisse, Degas, Toulouse-Lautrec to name just a few - many of them were engulfed in literature, philosophy, painting and... sex, drugs and alcohol. Scandals abound, this place has it all and still draws the unruly among the human kind.

On top of that, literally, there stands the magnificent basilica of Sacré-Coeur. The surrounding streets winding up to it served as a backdrop of countless famous films and series.

Let Montmartre enchant you, like it did to us. On our tour you will see:

  • Moulin Rouge
  • Cafe deux moulins (Cafe known from the film “Amelie”)
  • Van Gogh’s house
  • Moulin d’ la Galette
  • Place des Abbesses
  • ︎Studios Picasso/Modigliani
  • Vineyard/Oldest Cabaret in Paris
  • Sacré Coeur Basilica

I am a tour guide myself and walking tours are my passion. What Raj provided on this tour is just from another star. Having done around 100 tours around this world, this tour was for sure on of the best. You could feel Raj's passion for art history. He develops the backstories so well, that you feel you are in the Belle Epoche of Montmarte... Awesome tour, thanks!

I have done four walking tours in Paris during this trip and while all of them were great, this particular tour was the BEST, only because of the amazing tour guide Ruben aka Vampire. He goes so much above and beyond and delivers way too more than what’s advertised. His knowledge about the street, alleys, hidden spots, restaurants, historical people lifestyles and stories is in abundance and he share in such a fun loving jovial way that you would enjoy every moment of the tour and remember it for lifetime. If you’re in Paris and looking for an outstanding experience ask for Ruben and he’ll set the standards of guided tours so high that it was would be hard to find someone like him. Cheers mate! Will be back again

We enjoyed the tour in Montmartre very much. Our tour guide Tank was just great! Very energetic, passionate and - what is the most important for us in this kind of tour - he gave us a glimpse of what life in Paris really is apart from touristic perspective. We liked that he was very kind, funny and well-organised. He was also really devoted to his job and you could feel he is a local person that comes from this neighbourhood. Strongly recommended!
