So glad I toured with Josephine!

Cynthia_M, Apr 2024

Wonderful tour. Josephine was so knowledgeable and charming. She was well paced and left feeling like I have a good understanding of the history and major monuments!

It was nice learning history of cemetery too as well as seeing Jim Morrison of the Doors band resting place..

Carmen_C, Apr 2024

Our tour guide was very helpful... on time and fun to talk with. She answered our questions graciously and gave alot of history about the beautiful area. She is an asset to your company.

Not Haunted

Matthew_B, Apr 2024

Tour started on time and lasted the full two hours. There was absolutely nothing haunting about the tour. It is just a walk amongst tombstones with a few stories of those buried there. For anyone from the U.S. that is primarily interested in seeing Jim Morrison’s grave, I would skip the tour and just go see it on your own. You will more than likely not know or care about any of the others buried there. That said, it was fairly priced.

Good time

Alex_P, Mar 2024

Our tour guide was entertaining and knowledgeable. You get some interesting stories about people buried/memorialized there. Felt like we were being hustled a bit quickly and had difficulty keeping up at times.

Loved it

Lisa_V, Mar 2024

Jamie walked us through the cemetery providing a mix of history of the cemetery and the city of Paris to bring to life the stories of many of the departed residing in Pere Lachaise. The cemetery is beautiful and would have been overwhelming without having a guide...Jamie was wonderful and spoke very fluent English and was able to answer all our questions. Make the most of your visit and book a guide - I hope you get Jamie!

Multiple language tour

Bill_M, Feb 2024

Signed up for an English tour but we learned when we arrived that it was also in French and Spanish. We spent most of the time standing at sights waiting for an English explanation. The tour guide was friendly but favored the other languages. I would choose a tour 100% in English next time (which we thought we had)

Tour guide a great narrator

Farah_W, Jan 2024

Very nice Tour guide with big knowledge of the mysteries in the cemetery of Père la chaise. Wonderful cementery that was filled with great stories

Nice walk

Ilse_S, Jan 2024

The guide ( Jade) was fantastic !! He has many story's , he was kind and had a lot of humor . The cemetery is very big , but nice to walk through with a guide

Boo for Christmas Day

Guillermo_M, Dec 2023

Maye was an excellent tour guide. She was able to make this Christmas day unusual cemetery tour so interesting and successful to do something quite different.

Wonderful

Melissa_C, Dec 2023

Wonderful - even in the Rain ! Jade- was amazing - engaging and kept us laughing ! I would recommend this tour and definitely would do it again !

Great experience overall but would have like to had a bio/bathroom break in between.

Yvonne_G, Nov 2023

We loved the historical background on the cemetery. Each stop she provided detail on the person, the significance of the tomb or spot.

Viator Disappointed Us!

Eve_N, Nov 2023

Weeellll, due to a sluggish Uber driver we didn’t get to the meeting point until 15 minutes after the start point. I contacted Viator wS given the tour guide’s cell # to try and catch up but voicemail only and no call back. Very disappointing and $$$ down the drain.

Fab!

Catherine_R, Oct 2023

The guide was excellent and well informed. We could not have got the most from our visit without a guide.

Wrong Address at "Meeting Location"

Gregory_L, Oct 2023

We arrived 30 minutes early. Nobody was at the meeting address. 45 minutes passes and still nobody shows up. Later we find out that the Tour Guide was across the street from the posted address and didn't bother to check the location listed. We missed the tour as did several other people. Hopefully, we get a refund.

Waste of time

Rosalie_P, Sep 2023

Waste of time. I signed up for English and everyone was French so the poor guy had to repeat it twice. A waste of time for everyone. And I specifically signed up for English…

Brilliant tour around Pere Lachaise

Sharon_P, Sep 2023

Our guide Jamie had an amazing historical knowledge - all with no notes. He walked us round various monuments to people we hadn’t heard of but had very interesting stories to tell. His tour lasted 2hrs 30mins which was much longer than advertised too. Would highly recommend to visitors.

Great time in a beautiful cemetery

Kaitlyn_L, Sep 2023

Our tour guide Elody was amazing and took her time with us Americans who were visiting for the first time. So much history and a must see when in Paris. Lots of hills, but worth the walking to see all the beautiful sites. Please note the cemetery closes at 5:30.

Not good

Birgit_W, Aug 2023

Tour was canceled, I was not informed. So I was waiting at the main entrance Sunday morning, nobody showed up. I called an I was told, becaue I was the only attende, the tour was cancelled, without letting me know....

Efficient way to see the cemetery

Jennifer_C, Jun 2023

The cemetery is huge so it was great to have a guide take you straight to the famous ones. Even with the map at the cemetery it can be hard to find the plots because of the layout. The tour wasn’t inappropriately morbid. Just a bit of lore of certain areas of the cemetery. If you’re looking for something inaccurately dramatic and spooky, this isn’t for you.

tour with too little time and too little content

LourdesR_T, May 2023

there were only 5 of us in the group for the Père Lachaise Cemetery tour plus one tour guide. However one person in the group spoke only French so the guide had to do the tour in two languages which took up half of our time. So I think we did not see enough because of this. Also the guide did not point out or pass through tombs of famous people and when we did, she did not even highlight it - she only concentrated on the tombs she wanted to talk about.
