Walk Montmartre’s artistic streets, uncover stories of its famous residents, and finish at Sacré-Cœur with panoramic views over Paris.
About this tour
Follow Montmartre’s winding streets from the Moulin Rouge to the hilltop steps of Sacré-Cœur on a guided walk through one of Paris’s most storied neighborhoods. This 2-hour Paris Montmartre Walking Tour reveals how a quiet hill once dotted with windmills became a bohemian home for artists, writers, musicians, and actors.
Along the way, hear stories about Van Gogh and Picasso’s early Paris homes, pause at the colorful Wall of Love, and see landmarks including Renoir’s Moulin de la Galette, Place Dalida, the Maison Rose, and the mural at Place Marcel Aymé. Browse the lively artists’ square at Place du Tertre before reaching Sacré-Cœur, where panoramic views stretch across Paris rooftops. Your guide shares local history, art, and culture, with time for photos and recommendations for nearby attractions and hidden gems. The tour meets at 5 Place Blanche and welcomes up to 15 guests. Basilica entry is free; dome access costs extra, and an optional evening wine tasting is available.
Choose the Paris Montmartre Walking Tour for an engaging introduction to the neighborhood, then linger at the basilica or explore more of the hill at your own pace.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.83 from 40 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 7.2. Top 48% in Paris means it ranks in the top 48% of tours in Paris by this score.
