Very interesting tour, essentially private as no one else had signed up. Our guide Hugo was Irish but very knowledgeable about French history and clearly loves the more exotic tombs in the cemetery

Francois was great! Great personality and sense of humor. Super informative and filled with tons of fun facts and great historical stories. The cemetery was amazing—so incredibly big and filled with endless graves to see. Francios's tour flew by; I wish it was longer! Me and my wife truly enjoyed the tour and would highly recommend this tour and Francois to anyone visiting Paris. Christian M. (USA)

Hugo was amazing. He was so knowledgeable and willing to share his information with us. He is a wonderful representative for your company.

Francois was amazing during our tour. My husband and I had a great time exploring the cemetery and learning the history and stories. Honestly we could have walked around ourselves and we wouldn’t have known any of the history behind the tombs and symbols. Francois was personable and fun; this is a must that I feel is overlooked when visiting Paris. I could have spent so much more time here!

Extremely interesting tour filled with anecdotes and funny stories about the "residents". Tamara was extremely well versed and time just flew by!

Our group of six women toured the cemetery with Hugo, who shared dozens of colorful stories of French men and women who are buried there. His enthusiasm for the subject matter was infectious, and he was not only knowledgeable about French history and culture but entertaining and at times hilarious as well. Truly a five star experience!
