Paris Père Lachaise Cemetery Guided Walking Tour
Description
Step inside Pere Lachaise Cemetery and explore one of Paris’s most unforgettable places with a knowledgeable guide.

On this walking tour, guests follow winding paths through the cemetery’s historic sections while learning about its origins, its distinctive funerary art, and the notable people buried here. Along the way, your guide brings context to the monuments and shares the human stories behind some of the site’s most visited graves. This experience is ideal for travelers who enjoy history, culture, architecture, and quieter corners of Paris beyond the standard sightseeing circuit. Whether it is a first visit or a return trip, Pere Lachaise offers a different side of Paris: reflective, beautiful, and rich in stories.

Worst experience ever. My first and last with Viator. I was informed that it got canceled AT THE MONENT OF THE EVENT. Not even 15 minutes before. No. It was like 5-10 mins after when we were supposed to meet our guide. Apparently because not enough people signed (which they never mention that possibility when you book) but a friend look a day before to book it and it showed as sold out. Originally they didn’t even want to refund me fully, they offer an audio guide and 50% off for the next time I book smth(which I never will) and I tried to contact the guide via text multiple times to confirm the place with no answer
Thank you for your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you experienced. Unfortunately, the tour had to be canceled on the day due to an unexpected transportation issue that delayed our guide from reaching the meeting point on time. We understand how disappointing this was, especially after you had already arrived. As an immediate solution, we offered an audio guide and refund options, and we have now processed a full refund for your booking. We regret that your experience did not meet the standards we strive to provide and appreciate your feedback.
