How much walking is there?
It’s about 2 miles of walking uphill at a leisurely pace. There may be short flights of stairs throughout the tour, both up and down. This can be modified for private tours.
Do you go inside the Sacré-Coeur Basilica?
No, the tour passes by the exterior of the basilica. It’s free of charge to enter when open, and your guide will share tips on what to see during your self-guided visit.
Is there food and drink available for purchase during the tour?
Montmartre is a great foodie neighborhood. About halfway through the tour, there’s a short break when you can purchase food or drinks, and when the tour ends, you will be near other cafes and vendors if you want to try something fresh.
