Paris Private Montmartre Walking Tour and Seine River Cruise
Explore the bohemian hilltop village of Montmartre and glide past Paris' most iconic monuments on a classic Seine River Cruise.
This Paris private Montmartre walking tour and Seine River Cruise combines two of the French capital's most beloved experiences into a single, seamlessly arranged half-day outing. A private chauffeur collects you from your hotel in an air-conditioned vehicle, handles transfers between each stop, and drops you at the boat pier near the Eiffel Tower when the walking portion ends.
Montmartre rewards visitors with cobbled lanes, a working vineyard, independent bistros, and the commanding silhouette of the Sacre-Coeur Basilica perched above the city. The neighbourhood has preserved a village rhythm that drew painters and writers here throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and that atmosphere is still tangible today.
The Seine River Cruise departs from the foot of the Eiffel Tower and passes landmarks including the Assemblee Nationale, Invalides, Musee d'Orsay, Institut de France, and Notre-Dame de Paris. Audio commentary is available in fourteen languages, so guests can follow along at their own pace while photographing the riverbanks.
The full itinerary spans four hours, including approximately one hour for private vehicle transfers between the hotel, Montmartre, and the boat pier. The cruise itself lasts one hour, leaving around two hours for the guided walk through Montmartre's historic streets.
Tour Highlights
Walk the cobbled streets of Montmartre from Moulin Rouge to Sacre-Coeur, guided through every key landmark along the route.
Photograph the Wall of Love, a mosaic installation where the phrase "I love you" is written in over three hundred languages.
Pass the distinctive pink facade of La Maison Rose and the statue of singer Dalida, two of the neighbourhood's most photographed spots.
Walk past the Clos Montmartre vineyard, the only working vineyard within Paris city limits, tucked behind the Lapin Agile cabaret.
Visit Place du Tertre, the open-air square where portrait artists and painters have gathered for generations.
Board the Bateaux Parisiens cruise at the Eiffel Tower pier and drift past eight major Parisian monuments with multilingual commentary.
Travel in a private air-conditioned vehicle with door-to-door hotel pickup and transfer to the boat pier included.
