Take this tour. That is all I can say. It is amazing and memorable. Shout out to Viator: it turned out I was the only person scheduled, and the company did not cancel the tour. I essentially received a private tour of Pere Lachaise with Olivia Putorti. Amazing experience! Fantastic guide! Very, vrey pleased.
Pere Lachaise cemetery is sprawling and massive! Having a tour guide is an efficient way to make the most of your time. Stephanie was witty, knowledgeable and entertaining! We enjoyed her tour immensely! We had a great time despite our surroundings!
Juliet was amazing and we enjoyed the tour. So knowledgeable about all the grave sites. It was the end of the day and she was so accommodating regarding out time!
My guide was personable and knowledgeable. As I was the only one on the tour were free to look at additional gravestones.
Julie was beyond AMAZING! She's knowledgeable and she is the real deal. Book with her ASAP. There was not anyone with me so it turned out to be a solo private tour. I told her about my love for Chopin and she told me a lot of information about him. It was such a special experience. Job well done
My guide was wonderful! The history of the cemetery along with its residents tell a colorful tale of Paris. Although I wasn’t fond of Jim Morrison site I enjoyed many others we visited.
Wonderful experience! Our guide Olivia Putorti wove the history of Paris throughout the walk through the cemetery. Fascinating!
I guess the tour was a great and modern Pere Lachaise visit, not an average classical (and boring) one, and it was fun ! Olivia is always smiling, joking and bring some very interesting facts, I highly recommand !!

Very informative and very pleasant visit. Père Lachaise is a place of great richness for French history and culture, which Olivia was able to bring to life for us in an exciting way and with great enthusiasm and generosity! THANKS

Olivia, our guide, immersed us in the history of the cemetery and those who rest there and told a thousand anecdotes, each more fascinating than the last, with the respect due to the inhabitants of the place! Bravo, I warmly recommend this unusual visit.
The visit was very interesting. Our guide Olivia knew how to mix a touch of humor into the history of Père Lachaise, making the visit pleasant and less austere, although very serious. Thank you for this experience!
