Very superficial tour with boring jokes and strange choices of visited graves - lots of important ones are skipped. Also not included in this tour is a whole section of very moving memorials to victims of holocaust. I think it’s better look up the list of graves ahead of time and make a plan how to walk to them- all available on line.

Really well guided (using GPS) so we were able to take little hidden paths which we would never have found otherwise. Really interesting commentary.
Have never done a tour like this and would thoroughly recommend!

Interesting tour and facts but better directions and slower when giving multiple directions would be useful.

I enjoyed the the tourguide's engaging commentary, which is full of both rich and moving detail and drole asides. I had to navigate some initial confusion of finding the ticket code and start button: the user journey between the main Viator site and the tour app Voicemap, seemed not to hook up accurately and I think a couple of screenshots in the confirmation email would be an easy workround which doesnt involve extra coding on Viator's part. That was the only and minor hiccup though. The timing between 'hosts' is absolutely fine for an old lady like me and the directions are accurate and easy to follow. It's one of the best things I've done, wandering around the breathtaking architecture of the sepulchres. The commentary was a good mix of historical and contemporary narrative. It was fun and quite cheesy too in the right measure and didn't detract from the atmosphere. I've always wanted to visit Père Lachaise and I wouldn't have had such a memorable time without this audioguide as accompaniment. It's worth more than 8€ so I hope lots more people read this and buy the tour. I'm looking forward to returning to take the next one.

My sister and I explored Père Lachaise today and loved the tour. The guide was clear and helpful. We got off the path once and the GPS immediately knew we were lost. It was helpful and fun to have this guide and to tour the cemetery on our own. Highly recommend.

Very complicated to install. It has only involved expense, no help. I wouldn't buy it again nor do I recommend it at all.

Wonderful commentary on Père Lachaise cemetery! Having been there before, I know that the labyrinthine layout of the place is overwhelming. With this audio guide, you are easily led to the various sites chosen. Even if you get off track, you are able to find your way again. I learned so much from this guide and would definitely purchase the rest of the series!

You really must download before you go as the instructions were rather complicated and the voice narration never loaded while we were there.
