The guide was very knowledgeable and interesting. He clearly knows the cemetery well and it would be extremely difficult to see the things that he showed us if you were on your own. I recommend this tour highly if you choose to go to the cemetery. It is huge!

I was one of two people on the tour, so it felt as if it was a private tour. The tour guide was fantastic - chock full of information and very personable. He really made the cemetery come alive, so to speak, with stories of its history and inhabitants. I loved the quiet ambience of the cemetery. While there are tourists, there were not a ton the day of my tour and they were all quiet and respectful as one would hope in a cemetery.

About the guide: Extensive knowledge, Lively and Funny About the Père Lachaise Cemetery: Must be done if already visited the Tier 1 landmarks (Louvre, Versailles, Notre Dame, Arc de Triomphe, Montmartre). Like visiting a museum without being trapped inside a building. The only issue for non-French is that most of celebrities resting in this cemetery and associated historical context are French, and therefore are harder to relate to. Note: As no English-speaking slot was available when we booked, our tour was in French.
