Excellent tour - Hugo’s knowledge of the cemetery was exemplary. My daughter and I enjoyed his stories and excellent historical anecdotes. I walk slowly with a cane, and he was very considerate, making sure that I did not trip over tree roots and broken tombstones.

Best day at the Cemetery - Hugo was a fantastic guide. With his amazing knowledge he was able to entertain and educate with flair! We truly enjoyed our visit. My husband and I visited in 2021, this was our son’s first visit and Hugo was able to enhance our previous experience and add additional information that we were not aware of. If you enjoy history this is a must!

Really interesting and colourful tour and stories! - This was a great tour. I'd been to Pere Lachsise in the past but exploring it with a guide was really worthwhile and much richer. Tamari, our guide, was very knowledgable and entertaining and helped us understand tons of the back story of Pere Lachaise and its role in Parisian history. Highly recommend!

Getting to know Père Lachaise with Hugo, our awesome host! - Our Père Lachaise tour was facilitated by Hugo who expertly guided us through the huge cemetery. We were booked in for a small group tour but lucked out as it was just the two of us on Hugo's list for the afternoon. We toured gravesites where the mortal remains of notable people now rest, learnt about their remarkable lives and how they dented human history. We also learnt about Père Lachaise's evolution to become the world famous cemetery it now is as well as the memorials located within its walls. In Hugo we had a very friendly, easygoing, knowledgeable guide with a passion for history who was eager to customise the tour just for us. Hugo was able to encourage and engage in discussions and enlighten us about French history as well as the trials, tribulations and successes of French and Parisian society. Plenty of walking done, plots covered (or uncovered as the case may be) and history to unravel. It was never a dull moment and we would absolutely do something like this again.

Interesting and insightful tour - My family including a teen really enjoyed our tour of Père Lachaise Cemetery with Florent. He made it interesting and accessible to all of us. We were able to marvel at the wide scope of individuals buried there, as well as understanding the context of their lives in history. Highly recommended!

A great experience at Pere Lachaise - We had been wanting to have this experience for a long time. We have been to Paris so many times and we finally managed it. Hugo was wonderful. We would never have been able to understand what we were seeing or even in which direction to walk! Hugo knew so much everywhere we turned. And he had so many side stories to tell us. It was a fascinating tour that we were so happy to have finally done, with a wonderful guide! Thank you!

Incredible - Our guide Hugo was a wealth of knowledge. He had so many interesting stories about many people that are buried or memorialized here. The Cemetary is VERY large and the old sections were not organized well but with this guide we were able to easily navigate to interesting people and sites. Highly recommend!
