Unforgettable private guided tour Pere Lachaise - Tour Guide Michele made the visit to the Pere Lachaise Artists Cemetery very interesting, taking into account the presence of a 14-year-old boy, making it easy to explain the personalities and graves for him too. There was a nice empathy immediately. Very well the timing of stay and the detail of the most significant historical tombs. I thank Michele for his patience in making me biss the grave of Jim Morrison. Really very nice experience!
