Pere Lachaise cemetery is sprawling and massive! Having a tour guide is an efficient way to make the most of your time. Stephanie was witty, knowledgeable and entertaining! We enjoyed her tour immensely! We had a great time despite our surroundings!
Juliet was amazing and we enjoyed the tour. So knowledgeable about all the grave sites. It was the end of the day and she was so accommodating regarding out time!
My guide was personable and knowledgeable. As I was the only one on the tour were free to look at additional gravestones.
Julie was beyond AMAZING! She's knowledgeable and she is the real deal. Book with her ASAP. There was not anyone with me so it turned out to be a solo private tour. I told her about my love for Chopin and she told me a lot of information about him. It was such a special experience. Job well done
My guide was wonderful! The history of the cemetery along with its residents tell a colorful tale of Paris. Although I wasn’t fond of Jim Morrison site I enjoyed many others we visited.
