Le Père Lachaise - so much history - I really enjoyed the tour. Andrea did a great job explaining more about the cemetery and the famous people buried there. I have been to Paris a lot, however I had not been to the cemetery. So glad I finally went. The communication before the tour was excellent.

Fun and educational - James was a brilliant pathfinder / guide; full of knowledge and a not-so-mainstream sense of humour, that we enjoyed. We were lead in a suitable pace from grave to grave, accompanied by entertaining stories and odd tales. Thanks a bunch James!!

Nice Sunday morning activity - Nelly provided a very nice tour of the cemetery, including some less standard stories which were really interesting. You can tell that she is really passionate about her job and eager to share with the people. I totally recommend it.
