Not user friendly to download tour
Never was able to use tour. Couldn’t get help. Very confusing about adding a service

Doesn’t include the most significant graves that I would have liked to see…maybe include a more detailed description of which are part of each tour so guests can choose the one for them.

Very superficial tour with boring jokes and strange choices of visited graves - lots of important ones are skipped. Also not included in this tour is a whole section of very moving memorials to victims of holocaust. I think it’s better look up the list of graves ahead of time and make a plan how to walk to them- all available on line.

Really well guided (using GPS) so we were able to take little hidden paths which we would never have found otherwise. Really interesting commentary.
Have never done a tour like this and would thoroughly recommend!
Naheed_J, Oct 2023
Interesting tour and facts but better directions and slower when giving multiple directions would be useful.
Catherine_H, Sep 2023
I enjoyed the the tourguide's engaging commentary, which is full of both rich and moving detail and drole asides. I had to navigate some initial confusion of finding the ticket code and start button: the user journey between the main Viator site and the tour app Voicemap, seemed not to hook up accurately and I think a couple of screenshots in the confirmation email would be an easy workround which doesnt involve extra coding on Viator's part. That was the only and minor hiccup though. The timing between 'hosts' is absolutely fine for an old lady like me and the directions are accurate and easy to follow. It's one of the best things I've done, wandering around the breathtaking architecture of the sepulchres. The commentary was a good mix of historical and contemporary narrative. It was fun and quite cheesy too in the right measure and didn't detract from the atmosphere. I've always wanted to visit Père Lachaise and I wouldn't have had such a memorable time without this audioguide as accompaniment. It's worth more than 8€ so I hope lots more people read this and buy the tour. I'm looking forward to returning to take the next one.

This guide is fun and informative. The location element worked well. We took a couple of mis-steps for easily found out way back to the correct route
Maryanne_F, Jul 2022
The audio tour is a great way to experience and learn about Père Lachaise. Great value. Go at your own pace.
Luis_U, Apr 2022
I entered via Av Principale. The closest tomb in the tour appeared to be Isadora Duncan, and after walking almost half an hour walk, it turns out it was the last in the tour. Several tombs not in the tour, like Chopin. I would suggest different routes options
Response from Host, May 2022
Hi Luis
We're sorry you didn't enjoy the tour.
It does follow a set route and once downloaded, instructions to the starting point are provided. Please let us know how we can make this clearer so that the tour is more enjoyable for future customers?
Thank you,
Alicia

I enjoyed the commentary and stories and it all worked fairly well but missed out most of the bits we would have liked to see. We would have been better off buying a map and navigating ourselves.
Esther_D, Mar 2022
Very easy to use, had just the right amount of information to get the most out of our visit. None of the in-person tiurs fitted our schedule so this was perfect as you can download and do the tour whenever suits. Will definitely use again.
Xenia_R, Mar 2022
Good for anyone who wants to learn about who is buried at the Cimetiere Pere Lachaise. A bit bummed out that the trail did not include Jim Morrison, so we had to go on our own and then continue.
Emily_O, Feb 2022
A great way to visit PL and avoids an aimless wander. Some directions are however delivered too fast e.g, to Sarah Bernhardt’s grave which in the end we couldn’t find. But otherwise excellent.
Barbara_C, Nov 2021
Seeing the variety of monuments and the resting places of so many famous people. I would have never found them on my own.
Claudia_G, Jan 2026
They wouldn't let me in saying it was already closed and the booking said the audio guide could be used at any time

Claire_I, Nov 2025
We have never been able to make the application work! Very simple to pay for, but after an ordeal to start the audio guide. I strongly advise against it. We paid for nothing.

The information for moving around the cemetery is not clear enough. We've lost our way many times

Leuk, niet saai en informatief. Soms wel even zoeken naar juiste route en nummer. Dat kan wellicht beter.
