Montmartre Self-Guided City Walking Tour & Scavenger Hunt
Overview
Windmills, love declared in 250 languages and a white basilica above it all — Montmartre is the Paris of dreams, now with a scoreboard.
This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Paris on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time.
• Strike a pose outside the Moulin Rouge, cradle of the cancan
• Find your language on the Mur des Je t'aime, the wall of love
• Climb to the Basilique du Sacré-Cœur for the best view in Paris
Around 2 hours, any group size, available in English, French, and Italian.
The bohemian hill rewards the bold.

What To Expect
Starting at Blanche metro station, steps from the red windmill, you'll open the Explorial app, enter the 6-digit game code that you received by text and Viator chat message, and begin the climb into Montmartre. The tour is fully self-guided — no guide, no fixed start time, just your group and the city.
The Moulin Rouge opens the show — birthplace of the cancan and a century of scandal. Riddles peek behind the red velvet without buying a ticket.
In a quiet garden square, the Mur des Je t'aime spells 'I love you' 311 times in 250 languages. The photo task here writes itself.
Then the stairs (or funicular) lead to the Basilique du Sacré-Cœur, gleaming white above the city, with all of Paris rolled out below.
Around two hours of slopes, artists and accordion echoes. The leaderboard crowns the monarch of Montmartre.
