My cousin recommended this tour to me after his trip to Paris. I could not be more thankful he did. Was a wonderful, informative way to see the area. I really enjoyed it and feel i learned way more than i could have with a regular paid walking tour. And enjoyed doing it at my own pace.

Annie has a lovely easy style to listen too in this tour. Loved all the little out of the way places we would not have seen otherwise. We did this on a Sunday morning before most of the crowds arrived for the day, this to us was the beauty of a audio tour - do it at your own time and pace.

I love that Annie starts in the uncrowded parts of Montmartre before she takes us into the thick of things of the tourist section. It turns out our Airbnb was just a few steps away from four different landmarks, so that was cool. Also that Annie strategic and planned the route so that they were never more than 12 stairsteps involved in any one flight of stairs. (That’s an accomplishment for Montmartre!) Well done!

This tour was so much fun! Annie is a wonderful host and included the perfect amount of information in the tour. A mix of historical facts, cultural details and insider anecdotes. I appreciated that she included thoughtful touches like good photo spots, bathroom locations and cafe/restaurant recommendations. And her directions and the map were super clear. I now have a solid appreciation for the neighborhood of Montmartre!
