About this experience

Experience the bohemian heart of Montmartre aboard a charming, narrow-gauge mini-train that winds its way from the steps of Sacré-Cœur through cobblestone lanes dotted with local vineyards, the historic Montmartre Cemetery, and the legendary Lapin Agile cabaret. As you glide past the white domes of the basilica and the iconic Moulin Rouge, your expert guide will share captivating stories of the artists and writers—Picasso, Van Gogh and more—who found inspiration in this hilltop village. After uncovering Montmartre’s hidden alleys and panoramic viewpoints, continue your adventure with an optional one-hour Seine River cruise. Depart from a convenient riverbank transfer, then relax on an open-air deck as you drift beneath Paris’s graceful bridges and alongside its most celebrated monuments—Notre Dame, the Louvre, Musée d’Orsay, and the glittering Eiffel Tower—while multilingual audio commentary brings the City of Light’s rich history to life.

A little disappointed

It was very difficult to hear the historic information when on the train. The speaker volume was low and many other riders carried loud conversations when the information was being presented.

Response from the operator: Dear Customer, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear that the audio on the Montmartre train was difficult to hear during your visit. While the train service and its onboard commentary are operated by a separate company, we understand how this affected your overall experience. We hope you still enjoyed exploring the charming streets of Montmartre. Thank you again for your valuable feedback, and we hope to welcome you on another tour in the future. Kind regards Reservation Team Tugba

A Convenient Ride Through Montmartre, But Skip the Cruise Add-On

The electric train is a convenient way to explore Montmartre without dealing with the steep hills on foot. While the ride is enjoyable, the audio guide is brief and difficult to understand, which took away from the overall experience. It’s not quite worth the price, but I don’t regret trying it. We added the Seine river cruise option, which was pleasant, as any river cruise in Paris tends to be, but there are definitely better cruise experiences available through other providers. I wouldn’t recommend the add-on, but a Seine cruise with a different company is still a lovely way to see the city.

Paris The Montmartrain and Optional Seine River Cruise: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Paris.

How much does Paris The Montmartrain and Optional Seine River Cruise cost?

+

Prices start at $7 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 Paris The Montmartrain and Optional Seine River Cruise take?

+

Plan for about 2 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 Paris The Montmartrain and Optional Seine River Cruise worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3/5 across 2 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 Paris The Montmartrain and Optional Seine River Cruise?

+

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 Paris The Montmartrain and Optional Seine River Cruise suitable for kids and families?

+

Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

How far in advance should I book Paris The Montmartrain and Optional Seine River Cruise?

+

Around 1 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Paris The Montmartrain and Optional Seine River Cruise 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.
