The very rocky and hilly graveyard

Loraine_H, Jun 2026
Not quite as ghostly and scary as I thought it would be, but still very interesting. A lot of walking up and down very rocky and narrow passages. You need to pay attention to where you’re stepping ! We were there for the Jim Morrison grave, but the others were very interesting. also Guide did a great job. A little long winded on some of the graves but still good job.

Cemetary Stories

Lea_S, May 2026
Zina (spelling?) Was a wonderful tour guide. She was knowledge, friendly, and provided a great walking and speaking pace.

Poor communication

Melissa_B, May 2026
Poor communication amongst the guides, we were told to join a different group who told us we were not on their list, so we basically didn’t get a tour at all and just wandered around alone, so a waste of money.

Not really “haunted”

Janine_P, May 2026
I thought this was going to be more haunted. It was still fun and great information about the history, but I probably wouldn’t have called it a haunted tour. We still had a great time.

Guide Never Showed - Viator Never Compensated For Lost Money!

ISABEL_W, Apr 2026
The absolute worst experience! The guide NEVER SHOWED UP! The guide NEVER called, emailed or texted us! We wasted 3 hours getting to the cemetery and waiting for the guide! To make matters worse, Viator did not accept blame and refused to reimburse our Uber money spent on a round trip waste of time!

Def recommend this tour

Maralie_W, Dec 2025
Very knowledgeable and professional tourguide and a great experience for a bit of introductory Paris history on our first day here. Many interesting locations and good stories. Worth the time and money.

Great tour, great english

Ella_E, Dec 2025
We had a really nice time with our guide, he did great job with jumping from english to france, since it was a mixed group.

If you must do a cemetery

Deborah_C, Dec 2025
Very interesting but do be advised there are some steps and quite a bit of walking if that is difficult for you. Guide was very good.

Perfect Père-Lachaise tour

Super interesting and thoughtfully curated! Excited to pass on the history we learned. Our guide, Josephine, was knowledgeable, warm and catered to our preferred graves :) Highly recommend this tour.

A guide is a must

DENISE_J, Nov 2025
A guided tour is a must when visiting Pere Lachaise Cemetery. Our guide, James, expertly led us through the maze of graves to see the highlights. James was also very knowledgeable about the history and context of people buried there.

Guide never showed. Took my money. No guide.

Cindy_S, Nov 2025
No show!!! Guide never showed. Still waiting for refund. Stay away. Would give negative stars. Bad!!

Best tour in Paris

Gwen_S, Oct 2025
Long walk in cobble stones with uneven footing and some areas with steep stairs. Physically strenuous but worth it!

Very interesting amazing place to visit, you. need to be prepared to walk long distance and lots of steps

Pretty cool tour

Lynne_Y, Sep 2025
We had a really good tour. I unfortunately cannot recall our tour guides name but he was really informative and we loved hearing all the behind the scene stories . It was cold and rainy the day we went but he made the best of it for us. The cemetery was super cool and we enjoy the history that was incorporated with the eerie. If you’re into Off the beaten path kind of cool then don’t miss this tour!

Our guide was excellent.
