About this tour

Discover Paris Montmartre at its most festive on a private walking tour through village lanes, seasonal lights and the neighborhood’s artistic past. Choose 3 hours in Montmartre or a 5-hour option that adds La Défense Christmas Market or La Villette’s seasonal village when operating.

Your guide leads you past Sacré-Cœur, La Maison Rose, Moulin de la Galette and Moulin Rouge, all viewed from outside, and shares stories connected to Van Gogh, Picasso and French Christmas traditions. Browse the Abbesses Christmas market when it is open, spot celebrated café exteriors and pause for photos of Paris panoramas. At the café stop, enjoy one hot drink and one pastry or equivalent dessert per guest. Boris is the planned stop, with alternatives possible if it is closed or seating is unavailable.

The longer options include an accompanied one-way public-transport journey to your selected extension. Expect about 4 km of walking in Montmartre, including hills, cobblestones and steps; wear comfortable shoes and warm clothing.

How this score is calculated

This tour has no TourTruth score yet: Viator doesn't show a usable rating for it. It gets a score as soon as a provider lists one.

How the score works
  • 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. Tours without a usable provider rating are not scored.
