Frequently Asked Questions

Question 1

Is a Montmartre food tour worth it?

Accepted Answer

Yes, particularly if you want to spend time in Montmartre rather than walk through it on the way to Sacré-Cœur. The tour takes you to five small businesses on streets most visitors don't reach, with a guide who can read the neighborhood the way a Parisian would. You leave with both lunch and a Montmartre you can come back to.

Question 2

What's the difference between this Montmartre food tour and your other Paris food tours?

Accepted Answer

This one is rooted in a single neighborhood: Montmartre, the hilltop village in the 18th arrondissement, with its own bistros, vineyard, and food culture. Our Ultimate Paris food tour covers Le Marais on the Right Bank. Our Paris pastry and chocolate tour walks the covered passages near Grands Boulevards. Same care, different corners of the city.

Question 3

What will I eat on the Montmartre food tour?

Accepted Answer

Eight tastings and two drinks across five stops. Expect a warm croissant, oeuf mayonnaise with white wine at a 1921 bistro, a board of French cheeses, escargot and sausage with aligot at a bistro lunch, and a macaron from a Montmartre chocolatier. Items shift with the season and what's freshest, but the arc stays the same.

Question 4

Is there a morning and an afternoon departure?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The tour runs at 10 AM and 3:30 PM. Both cover the same five stops with the same group cap of 10. The morning route is quieter and runs through the breakfast and lunch services; the afternoon catches better light at Sacré-Cœur and lands you in Montmartre for dinner.

Question 5

Can you accommodate dietary restrictions on this Paris food tour?

Accepted Answer

We can adapt for vegetarians, pescatarians, gluten-aware guests, pregnant guests, and non-drinkers. Just let us know at the time of booking. The tour isn't suitable for vegans, guests who are dairy-free, or guests with celiac disease, because the bakery and bistro both share kitchens where cross-contamination is real and we'd rather be honest than promise something we can't deliver.

Question 6

How big is the group?

Accepted Answer

Ten guests maximum, often smaller. It's the smallest group cap we run, which is what lets us fit inside the tiny eateries on the route without taking them over.

Question 7

How much walking is involved on the Montmartre walking tour?

Accepted Answer

Roughly 1.5 miles over three hours, with sit-down stops at most of the five businesses. Montmartre is a hill — the village sits at the top — so the route involves some climbing on cobblestones and staircases. The pace is slow enough to enjoy it. Comfortable shoes are essential.

Question 8

Is the Montmartre food tour suitable for children?

Accepted Answer

Yes, especially older children comfortable with adult conversation around a table. The food is varied enough that there's something for every palate, and the macaron stop tends to be the highlight for younger guests. We offer a child rate for ages 2 to 14, and infants under 2 are free.

Question 9

Is the Montmartre food tour wheelchair accessible?

Accepted Answer

This particular tour isn't a fit as Montmartre is built on a hill, and the route involves stairs, steep cobblestones, and several small businesses with narrow entries. We do have other Paris food tours on flatter ground, so get in touch with our Guest Experience team and we'll match you to the right one.

Question 10

Does the tour go to Sacré-Cœur?

Accepted Answer

Yes, by a backstreet route most visitors don't know. You won't go inside the basilica (the tour is focused on the food), but you'll reach the viewpoint with your guide and have time for photos. The basilica is free to enter on your own afterward.

Question 11

Where does the tour start and end?

Accepted Answer

The tour starts at 40 Avenue Junot in the 18th arrondissement, near a small square at the heart of upper Montmartre. It ends near Sacré-Cœur, where you're well-placed for the basilica, the views, or a slow walk back down through the village.
