About this tour
Explore the darker stories and delicious flavors of Montmartre on a Paris Crime and Food Tasting Walking Tour. Starting at Place Blanche near the Moulin Rouge, this two-hour walk follows the neighborhood’s history from cabaret nightlife and bohemian culture to crime and hardship.

On Rue Lepic, learn about Vincent van Gogh’s life there with his brother Theo and the influence Montmartre had on his art.

The route ends at Place du Tertre, a historic square connected to the French Revolution and the Paris Commune.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.50 from 2 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in Paris
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.0.
