A Great Way To Visit Pere Lachaise! - Wow. Our guide Hugo made our visit to Pere Lachaise spectacular. We learned so much about France and the stories he told about the various tombs will stay with us forever. I highly recommend this tour!

Great experience - Hugo was an outstanding tour guide. He knew the cemetery well and was full of interesting anecdotes about the people buried there. He answered all of our question with wit and humor. The sprawling nature of Pere Lachaise makes it very difficult to navigate without an expert guide like Hugo. I would highly recommend him and this tour to anyone visiting Paris.

Beautiful place and fine guide - Pere Lachaise is a beautiful place. Our guide, Tamari, knew a lot to tell and did so with great enthusiasm and humour. The tour lasted 2,5 hours and then you haven't seen everything, so worth repeating!

Guided tour well worth it! - Tamari was a wonderful guide adding fun, humor, and interesting facts on our trek through the cemetery. Having a guide brought the experience to a better level than if we had just walked on our own - particularly vis the commentary and stories surrounding the various parts of the cemetery we visited.

Hugo was a wonderful... - Hugo was a wonderful guide during our foray into Pere Lachaise. He really brought history to life and hit all of the cemetery's high spots: Jim Morrison, Edith Piaf, and Oscar Wilde, to name a few. He also took us to lesser known, but no less important gravesites, and told us the stories of the fascinating people who reside there! I highly recommend this tour.

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!
