Our tours with locals in Paris let you experience the city beyond the Eiffel Tower and Champs-Élysées. You won’t miss out on the top attractions, but you might see them from a different perspective – from a secret rooftop or a hidden bar loved by locals. Discover the soul of Paris on tours with locals who can show you what makes the city truly special.

        We enjoyed our private tour of the Montmartre area with Monty. In my mind so often the guide makes the tour and this review is because of him. While we had other experiences we enjoyed as much or more in Paris, Monty’s patience, kindness, and knowledge were wonderful. He picked us up at our hotel and showed us how to navigate the Underground. We also made a stop by the Louvre to see the area (another tour booked the next day with a different guide) and then we headed to Montmartre. My wife loved the small shops and restaurants we checked out along the journey and we talked about culture, art and history throughout the walk. Monty was patient as my wife stopped to look and he took some really nice pictures of us along the way, as well as making a list of must-see things for our visit to the Louvre. I believe he would have excelled even more once in the museum because of his love for art history on a different tour of that type. He reminded us lovingly of the humble, but brilliant Nate from Ted Lasso. The walk up from Moulin Rouge to the Sacre-Coeur Basilica was steep and on stone and we loved it, but I could see where those with very young children or elderly adults might find that more difficult. For my wife, the shops and restaurants along the way, as well as the plaza were all fantastic. Our journey was in the late afternoon so we loved seeing the city lights once the sun went down with the view from the Basilica - which was amazing and a must-see as well modern beauty of a church. Well done Monty.
