Pere Lachaise Cemetery
Great tour with Alex. He’s clearly very knowledgeable about Pere Lachaise and cares about treating the place with respect. I ended up being the only one on the tour and really appreciated him accommodating me as a solo traveler.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your kind words. Glad you enjoyed Alex's expertise, he'll be pleased with your review :)

Take this tour!
Alex was very knowledgeable about many of the interesting sites at Père Lachaise. It was a great 2 hour tour. We would never have figured these out for ourselves. So glad we took the tour. He went at our pace and showed us many interesting things. I highly recommend Alex for this tour

Terrific experience!
Our guide Hugo was wonderful! He was knowledgeable, fun and very accommodating. He helped us to see everything we wanted - and then some. We had a terrific experience and highly redommend this excursion with Hugo!

Great cemetery tour
Clara did an amazing job. The tour was informative and entertaining. The meeting place was easy to find. The cemetery was easily walkable, even on a cold, damp morning.

Educational tour through Pere’ Lachaise Cemetery
Alex provided an outstanding tour. We received much more than anticipated. One of our best tours on a two week trip of Paris/Normandie. He was enthusiastic and knowledgeable.

Why this scores 74
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Père Lachaise Cemetery Tour: A Stroll Through Immortal History: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Paris.
How much does Père Lachaise Cemetery Tour: A Stroll Through Immortal History cost?
+
Prices start at $15 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Paris usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Père Lachaise Cemetery Tour: A Stroll Through Immortal History take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Paris is not rushed.
Is Père Lachaise Cemetery Tour: A Stroll Through Immortal History worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 21 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Paris, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Père Lachaise Cemetery Tour: A Stroll Through Immortal History?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Père Lachaise Cemetery Tour: A Stroll Through Immortal History suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Père Lachaise Cemetery Tour: A Stroll Through Immortal History?
+
Around 7 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Paris can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Paris and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Père Lachaise Cemetery Tour: A Stroll Through Immortal History start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Paris within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Paris?
+
Paris rewards travelers who book ahead. The headline museums sell timed entry weeks out, the best food walks cap at eight people, and the Seine cruises that are worth doing are the ones that leave after sunset. Everything below is scored by the Outty Ranking so you can tell a genuine local favorite from a coach-tour filler in a single glance. On Outty we rank every Paris experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Louvre Museum Essential Guided Tour Semi Private 6 GUESTS MAX, Louvre Museum Premium Guided Tour 6 GUESTS MAX Entry Included, Paris City Center Free Walking Tour (Tip-Based). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Paris?
+
April to June and September to October, when queues thin out and terraces stay open late. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Paris?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
