The Best Wine Tour in Paris
Chef PJ is a character, in the best sense of the word. He is larger than life and filled with stories and knowledge. This tour is a real experience. Groups are small, 6 guests, and the price reflects it, but what fun the 6 of us had. We went to 4 different venues, including Le Petit Moulin and naming my favourite would be hard. We drank much more than I am used to, but the wine was of excellent quality, and somehow I escaped a hangover.
Response from the operator: We are so glad you had no hangover. Thank you.

Best Wine Tour in Paris
Ask anything, and not only do you learn about the wine, but you get a story to go with it. The Chef Tours is unlike any food or wine experience we have taken in the past. This is a must-do experience.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much

You need to do this
My favourite experience of my trip so far - learned so much about wine and Montmartre. I honestly felt like a friend/family member of PJ - warmth, generosity and kindness was all I experienced from PJ and everyone we met along the way (he seems to know and is friends with the entire neighbourhood)! Certainly helps having delicious food and wine along the way!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much!

Best experience in Paris
It's been 6 months since I've done this tour and honestly there's hardly a day goes by that I don't think about it. It was single-handedly the best experience I had in Paris. Chef PJ is beyond knowledgeable about food and wine. It is his life and his essence. His warmth, and genuine kindness immediately put you at ease while you sample wines and enjoy delicious Parisian food. This is definitely a not miss experience. Being a Solo traveler, sometimes you're unsure of how an experience will go, but this was my most favorite experience in all the countries I've been to. Do not hesitate and immediately book this. You will not be sorry.
Response from the operator: Thank you so very much. We are honoured to be remembered by you!

The best night of my Parisian life
It was the BEST night of my month in Paris. Hands down, this is the experience you have to try. It was not cheap, but it turned out to be of great value. I joined another group while travelling alone; we soon began as strangers but became friends. No one knows Montmartre like Chef PJ. We went to places I had never heard of, taking back streets that seemed to be abandoned streets. He knows this neighbourhood like the back of his hand. I learned so much about wine and drank so much that it was well after midnight when I headed to bed, so give it a day if you are jet-lagged. There was also food, an abundance of it. My number one experience in Paris.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much. So many of our guests do not take the time to review and we appreciate each one of you who does.

Why this scores 62
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Montmarte Confidential: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Paris.
How much does Montmarte Confidential cost?
+
Prices start at $249 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Paris usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Montmarte Confidential take?
+
Plan for about 4.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Paris is not rushed.
Is Montmarte Confidential worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 10 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Paris, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Montmarte Confidential?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Montmarte Confidential suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 18. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 4.5-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Montmarte Confidential?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Paris can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Paris and add a light layer if any part of the 4.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Montmarte Confidential start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Paris within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Paris?
+
Paris rewards travelers who book ahead. The headline museums sell timed entry weeks out, the best food walks cap at eight people, and the Seine cruises that are worth doing are the ones that leave after sunset. Everything below is scored by the Outty Ranking so you can tell a genuine local favorite from a coach-tour filler in a single glance. On Outty we rank every Paris experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Louvre Museum Essential Guided Tour Semi Private 6 GUESTS MAX, Louvre Museum Premium Guided Tour 6 GUESTS MAX Entry Included, Paris City Center Free Walking Tour (Tip-Based). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Paris?
+
April to June and September to October, when queues thin out and terraces stay open late. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Paris?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
