Tamari A is a must have guide! - Tamari A did a fantastic job showing us Père Lachaise Cemetery. I'm so glad we booked a tour because there was no way we would have been able to find all the graves on our own. Tamari provided so much history and was incredibly knowledgable about the cemetery's occupants. Although we booked the semi-private tour, we only had one other (super fun) couple with us so the tour felt very intimate. We had plenty of laughs and an honest/deep appreciation for life during this visit. I cannot recommend Tamari A enough!

Definitely worth doing this tour! - This tour was excellent! Our guide, Francois, was waiting for us at the cemetery entrance and gave us a quick orientation before we headed in. He took us to the BEST areas, and told us interesting stories about the gravesites. We visited all of the more famous (and infamous) graves, plus some off the beaten path that had great stories of their own. The tour was not rushed, and Francois really knows the cemetery well. He was able to answer so many questions we had, and also had a book of historical photos with him to explain some of the history of people buried there. He had so many good stories. We would highly recommend this tour especially with him. This is definitely worth a tour led by someone who knows the cemetery so you don’t miss anything.
