Private Père Lachaise Cemetery Walking Tour
Description
We tackle sex and death in a fun sophisticated way, the French way, telling true stories you won’t hear on other tours. Keep your tongue firmly planted in your cheek for this lighthearted yet salacious journey through Père Lachaise Cemetery. This is not your average walking tour, but then again, love in the City of Love is anything but ordinary. Your local Parisian guide will take you through the sexy histories of the people who lie buried here. While their tombs may be cold, their love affairs are anything but. It’s interactive, too — a little rubbing, a little kissing — at the appropriate graves, of course! We’ll share gossip known only to locals, and you’ll leave understanding why topics like death and sex aren’t taboo in France. Immerse yourself in the culture. Learn the history. Arouse your senses. Your guide can make your experience PG-13 or take it all the way to R-rated, depending on the group. Each tour is handled with class in true Parisian style — risqué but never raunchy.

There were 3 of us signed up for this Pere LaChaise tour. Our tour was cancelled less than 2 days before it was scheduled. We were surprised and disappointed that they refused to do a tour for 3 guests. I have had tour with only 2 people and the company has gone ahead with it. This was very unprofessional behavior.

While we do our best to run every tour as scheduled, there are rare occasions where minimum guest requirements or unforeseen circumstances affect operations. Please rest assured that you will receive a full refund for your booking. That said, we regret that this impacted your experience and appreciate you sharing it with us.
