Private Père Lachaise Tour | Famous Graves and Historic Monuments Reviews

Incredible Depth of Knowledge

Our LivTours guide clearly loved her job. She answered every question with enthusiasm and even showed us the oldest tree in the cemetery. We left feeling inspired.

Exceeded Expectations

I booked this tour mostly out of curiosity, but it ended up being one of my favorite experiences in Paris. The stories, the art, and the sense of peace—it all came together perfectly.

An Educational and Emotional Experience

Our guide taught us about Napoleon’s reasoning for creating this cemetery and why people wanted to be buried there. It was both historical and deeply human.

Quiet Beauty Amid the City

Even though it’s in the 20th arrondissement, Père Lachaise feels miles away from the bustle. The trees and cobblestones make it a photographer’s dream. LivTours’ private format made it even better.

Perfect for Art and Literature Lovers

From Balzac to Wilde, our guide connected each grave to Paris’s artistic past. I loved how she tied Chopin’s music and Piaf’s songs to the mood of the place.

A Stroll Through Paris’s Soul

Père Lachaise is more than a cemetery—it’s a storybook. LivTours made sure we understood the meaning behind the monuments and the lives they commemorate. It felt intimate and personal.

Great for Teens Who Love Stories

We took our two teenage sons, and even they were fascinated! The guide wove in tales about music, love, and history that kept them engaged the whole time.

So Peaceful and Insightful

Our LivTours guide’s deep respect for the cemetery and its residents made this experience special. We paused at Victor Noir’s tomb and learned why it’s so famous—quite the story!

Paris History from a Different Angle

We had already seen the Louvre and Notre Dame, but this tour offered another side of Parisian culture—its approach to memory and death. The art and architecture of the tombs are stunning.

Jim Morrison Fans Will Love It

As a lifelong Doors fan, visiting Jim Morrison’s resting place was a must. Our LivTours guide shared fascinating stories about how his grave became a pilgrimage site. I left feeling connected to music history.
