5.00Alex was an outstanding guide. We could tell he really loves what he does. He went out of his way to accommodate what we wanted but also surprised us with own research into so many varied grave sites. Chef’s kiss, it was a wonderful afternoon!

5.00We had a terrific tour of Pere Lachaise Cemetery with Valentin. His extensive knowledge of French history provided context for the famous tombs and monuments we visited. He helped us understand the contributions each person had made to France and the world. Val also explained the history of the cemetery itself and its connection to the development of Paris. This tour was really one of the highlights of our visit to Paris.
