Myself, my wife, and a friend had a private two hour tour of Pere Lachaise with Alberto. He was a wonderful guide. We provided him with a list of our "must see" graves, and he expertly wove a path through the cemetery to show us each one, as well as many others he felt would interest us. And at each grave he had a great story about the person. We had tried seeing the cemetery on our own previously and had a very frustrating time. With Alberto it was a joy and we learned much. We enthusiastically can recommend Les Necro Romantiques for an expert tour of Pere Lachaise. Thank you Alberto!

We scheduled a private tour with Alberto. What a treat! Not only is Pere Lachaise a beautiful place, but Alberto is interesting and knowledgeable. We had no agenda and preferred that Alberto show us what he wanted to show us. It was amazing! I can’t imagine visiting the cemetery without a guide. Alberto seemed very passionate about the history of the place. I highly recommend! Our tour was in English.

We had a wonderful tour with Alberto, who was very knowledgable and engaging and spoke perfect English. He shared many stories of the cemetery which we would never have been able to find out on our own. Alberto also made a concerted effort to make sure we saw the tombs we came to see. I highly recommend this tour to anyone with an interest in the history of Paris or Pere Lachaise in particular!

The private tour with Alberto in English was outstanding. Before the tour, I sent him the graves I was most interested in, and he put together a custom itinerary. We ended up seeing all the ones I'd requested plus the usual famous ones like Edith Piaf, Jim Morrison, etc. Alberto knows the cemetery like the back of his hand and tells many interesting anecdotes. Père Lachaise is huge and labyrinthine, so it's unlikely you'll find all the graves you want to see without a guide. Alberto was very generous with his time, and the hours flew by. He also offers tours to the catacombs and the Louvre. I definitely plan to take more tours with him when I return to Paris.

A most friendly guide, he was not short of anecdotes of all kinds. He knows the cemetery like the back of his hand. We had a great time with the whole group, most of whom had a sense of humor. The 4 sisters of Tarn and Perpignan thank you Mr. Thierry Le Roy for this very pleasant moment.
