Once home to artists like Van Gogh, this village-like neighborhood has inspired creativity for centuries. Begin at the I Love You Wall, a romantic art piece displaying “I Love You” in over 300 languages. Wander through Montmartre’s winding streets, passing the Moulin de la Galette, the historic Rue des Abbesses, several unusual art pieces, the city’s only vineyard, and more. Atop Montmartre, enjoy breathtaking views from the Sacré-Cœur Basilica while learning about its once-controversial design. From there, stroll around the basilica and head to Place du Tertre, a lively square filled with artists and cozy terraces. The tour ends at La Bonne Franquette, a historic restaurant once frequented by Van Gogh and Monet. If you select the upgrade, you’ll be ushered inside for a wine tasting paired with premium cheeses as you learn about the terroir behind each vintage. ## Key facts - Price: from €32 per person - Duration: 1h 30m - Rating: 4.85/5 from 2859 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: ExperienceFirst ## Tour options Prices are the operator's current list price for two travellers (whole euros); options sold only to bigger parties say so; pick the option on the booking page. | Option | Price | Guide languages | Details | |---|---|---|---| | Group Option in English | €32 / person | English | Group Walking Tour: Does not include wine tasting | | Montmartre Walking Tour + Wine Tasting | €81 / person | English | Duration: 2 hours: 2.5 hours Wine + cheese tasting: Enjoy a 45-minute tasting of French wine and cheeses inside La Bonne Franquette | | Upgrade: Private Montmartre | €189 / person (for 2+ people) | English | Private Montmartre Guided Tour: Private version of our popular Montmartre Guided visit.
