Excellent tour of the cemetery. Our tour guide, John gave us lots of information about the cemetery itself as well as interesting facts and stories about some of its famous occupants. I would recommend this tour as a fun activity to do while in Paris.

We booked a trip around Pere- Lachaise with a wonderful guide Becky, who made our day with a delicate and very interesting tour through the cemetery. We did not only learn a lot from her but also enjoyed the peaceful and pleasant atmosphere.

It was a great tour, highly recommended to everyone. Was prepared to see some of the must see graves (like the one of edith piaf, jim morrison etc), but there were many more interesting graves that John showed us and could tell about. Before booking the tour I thought of going on my own to père lachaise and just use google, but I am so glad I didn't and booked the tour. It is definitely worth the money and John really made it a great experience.
