One of the best tours in Paris.
Take this tour. That is all I can say. It is amazing and memorable. Shout out to Viator: it turned out I was the only person scheduled, and the company did not cancel the tour. I essentially received a private tour of Pere Lachaise with Olivia Putorti. Amazing experience! Fantastic guide! Very, vrey pleased.

Pére-Lachaise Cemetery Tour
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!...
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.
