Traveler reviews
2 verified traveler reviews for Pere Lachaise Cemetery Private Walking Tour. Ratings and reviews provided by Viator and Tripadvisor.
A fascinating cemetery tour!
Doina was my guide for this tour delving into lesser well known, but very fascinating, Paris history! Besides all the famous people (think literary icons, musicians and artists) interred here, there are political and religious leaders and others who contributed to the rich historical tapestry of the city. The story of how the various cemeteries came to be situated at the four corners of the city is interesting and the monuments themselves are often beautiful or bizarre depending on your taste. To top it all off the morning was overcast with a bit of drizzle adding to the ambience!
Response from the operator: Bonjour Christine, the Pere Lachaise cemetery holds the soul of Paris, made of famous icons, bizarre vibes and beauty altogether. Thank you for your wonderful review about Doina, she is the perfect guide I agree!

First Class tour company
We booked 4 days of private tours with My Private Paris. We could not be happier with our experience with this company. Alex was a fantastic and professional help when guiding us through the booking process. He listened to us and designed a great itinerary over the four days. I traveled with my 22yr old daughter and my friend and her daughter in her mid 20’s. This company offers a great selection of day and half day tours which Alex organised into a logical flow for us. The guides collected us from our hotel each day and took us by train or hire car to our destination. Guided us through the sites giving information and local knowledge.all our guides were very friendly. Had great English language. And contributed to an enhanced experience. We did the guided walking tour with a photo shoot which was great fun. Thanks to Audrey for a wonderful day and great photo’s. The second day we went to Père Lachaise cemetery which was a beautiful place. Raphaëlle provided extensive knowledge on the site and its famous occupants. Next we visited Montmartre where we had food and history experience. The food allowance in the tours was very generous and we were able to taste foods associated with France. Raphaelle ensured we made it back to the hotel safely. This night we went to Moulin Rouge for a great evening of entertainment. The high class car provided had an excellent driver. Thank you. After our late evening we were again collected by our guide Doina and a driver and taken to the Palace of Versailles. Doina shared her passion and knowledge of Versailles guiding us through the palace and gardens where we viewed areas we may have not found on our own. It became apparent that the guides were all aware of previous tours and built on historical information tying the sites together and increasing our understanding of the French identity and traditions. Raphaelle met us again in the afternoon taking us to the underground world of the catacombs. Raphaelle has a great depth of knowledge and passion about this site and we learnt a lot from her as well as being amazed by the millions of remains in the catacombs. We noticed other tourists walking the site missing the small details Raphaelle pointed out to us. We also had access to restricted areas On our fourth day we had the pleasure of Luke’s company guiding us through Fontainebleau Luke was friendly and knowledgeable providing insight to a region he grew up in. Again Luke provided information which tied together with our previous experiences. Our final guide was Toby who explored great food and wine with us in the Marais neighbourhood. Toby assisted us to select a variety of cheese and French bread before walking is through the areas sites admiring street art finishing at an underground wine cellar to enjoy our purchases with appropriate wines. Every guide provided individual attention to each member of our group focusing on our individual interests. We noticed in numerous sites our guides provided information on points of interest that other tourists walked past completely unaware of what they were missing! My Private Paris gave us the best possible time in Paris and surrounding area which we would never have managed on our own. It was stress free and fantastic. I found this company after numerous internet searches trying to plan our time in Paris and am so happy with their service. We can never thank everyone enough.
Response from the operator: Hello Helen & Shanon, merci beaucoup for this amazing review about our whole team of tour guides ! We all enjoyed every moment shared with you in Paris, and I suppose that's one of the reasons why we love so much what we do. We would love to welcome you to Paris again in the future. Warm regards from Paris !

Why this scores 49
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Pere Lachaise Cemetery Private Walking Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Paris.
How much does Pere Lachaise Cemetery Private Walking Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $429 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 Pere Lachaise Cemetery Private Walking Tour take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 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 Pere Lachaise Cemetery Private Walking Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 49 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 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 Pere Lachaise Cemetery Private Walking Tour?
+
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 Pere Lachaise Cemetery Private Walking Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 2.5-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Pere Lachaise Cemetery Private Walking Tour?
+
Around 1 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 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Pere Lachaise Cemetery Private Walking Tour 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.
