Perfect visit to Pere Lachaise

I’ve visited a lot of cemeteries and this is by far the best guided tour I’ve experienced. Alex is very knowledgeable and passionate tour guide. He provided a wealth of historical and cultural context that made our visit quite meaningful and memorable. Many thanks!

Lou

Lou was exceptional! She filled in so much history about each of the famous graves. She was personally very helpful to me at 85 years old. Highly recommend her!

Pere Lachaise Cemetery

Great tour with Alex. He’s clearly very knowledgeable about Pere Lachaise and cares about treating the place with respect. I ended up being the only one on the tour and really appreciated him accommodating me as a solo traveler.

Take this tour!

Alex was very knowledgeable about many of the interesting sites at Père Lachaise. It was a great 2 hour tour. We would never have figured these out for ourselves. So glad we took the tour. He went at our pace and showed us many interesting things. I highly recommend Alex for this tour

Great cemetery tour

Clara did an amazing job. The tour was informative and entertaining. The meeting place was easy to find. The cemetery was easily walkable, even on a cold, damp morning.

A Brilliant Sunday Afternoon at Pere Lachaise

Alex was an outstanding guide. We could tell he really loves what he does. He went out of his way to accommodate what we wanted but also surprised us with own research into so many varied grave sites. Chef’s kiss, it was a wonderful afternoon!
