Private Père Lachaise Tour | Famous Graves and Historic Monuments Reviews

Surreal Experience with the Perfect Guide

Ana is the perfect guide for a Père Lachaise tour. She was taking a group underground on a Catacombs tour following our private tour with her and there is no doubt she is exceptional there too. She has such an appreciation for the history and beauty of Père Lachaise and the special, historically significant place that is is. Her passion certainly rubbed off on us because we left there feeling the same way and wanting to go back. This tour is such a peaceful one and you could easily spend an entire day there with Ana. She knows so much and conveys her knowledge so well, we only scratched the surface. From all the famous graves and chapels to the more obscure ones, we saw Père Lachaise in a way I doubt many people do. We have taken several LivTours in France and Italy and LivTours is the best tour company with the best guides. We highly recommend this tour and even more highly recommend Ana. You don't want to miss it! Thank you!!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
