A most excellent, highly recommended tour of Père Lachaise - A thoughtful, informative tour intermixing both comical and tragical stories of the cemetery and the city. Tamar, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable, eloquent and had a great sense of humor. She did wonderful work to keep us avoiding the crowds while showing us all of the most famous graves and monuments; additionally Tamar was able to tweak the tour to our preference for the graves of scientists without missing out on the main story! A highly recommended guide and a great tour - thank you!

So informative! - Hugo was a great guide! Very knowledgeable. Good insights. I had been to the cemetery years ago on my own, and today I left with so much more of an understanding.

A sunny winter afternoon at the Père Lachaise with François - An immersion into the lives of people both famous and remarkable while walking through a beautiful part of Paris on a sunny winter afternoon. François sought out places both on and off the beaten paths with witty anecdotes an engaging and cheerful attitude in perfect English. A must do both for the venue and the guide.

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!
