Favorite guided tour in Paris

Our tour guide was so knowledgeable and she made history come alive. This was probably my favorite tour I did while I was there in Paris for the week. I highly recommend it!

Very interesting and the tour guide did follow the history correctly with the non-political correctness version which was refreshing especially during and post WWII France. I would highly recommend the tour.

Excellent service! We booked transport from the airport and two Paris city tours. The City-Discovery site provided multiple options for all three of our interests; clear and detailed descriptions of each; and easy booking, once our selection had been made. We will use this site for travel to other destinations.

The booking process was fast and efficient. One of my bookings had an error in time but this was attended to and successfully resolved as soon as I realised and notified city-discovery. I received a reply very soon after making my bookings to be notified the request had been received and then received confirmation and vouchers soon after. Contact from city-discovery has been courteous. Very happy with the excellent service.

Alberto was an amazing tour guide. He really took the time to show us everything in Pere Lachaise. He knew so many interesting facts, and I learned so much about not just Pere Lachaise but Paris too. I would highly recommend this tour and Alberto as your tour guide.

Emily did a nice job on the tour. Knew the info and facts, answered all questions, inspired me to purchase an Edith Piaf CD before I flew home. I would encourage others to go on this walk, great bit of history involved. Enjoyed the time!

I wasn’t too excited about this tour, but my husband booked it so I went along. It was a bit of a rainy day in Paris, our guide Alberto was so good I forgot about the rain and was so engrossed in his story telling that the time flew by...we saw a lot of other people trying to find graves without success which is why it is so great to have a guide...

As this was my first trip to Paris, I was not really sure what I should plan for the trip. Well, this tour was definately something I would recomend to anyone! It might sound weird for some people to go and visit a graveyard, but believe me, it's the most informative tour I've done to date! The history of Paris (and the graveyard) was well presented by the tour guide.

Fun tour, I learned a lot and the information was great as was our tour guide. My only wish was to know more of some of the obscure graves instead of only the famous ones.

We just finished our tour with Jenny and can't recommend it highly enough! Jenny was a terrific tour guide, knowledgeable, funny & very accommodating. She answered all our questions and was just delightful! Thanks so much Jenny!

The tour was very interesting as it provided the whereabouts of various grave sites of famous people and a brief narrative about that person. I was impressed with all the monuments and how well kept the cemetery was maintained.

This was our first trip to Paris and this tour was one of the many great memories we take back with us. Eve was an excellent guide and shared a great deal of information with us. We didn't feel rushed, but went at a nice leisurely pace.

Jenny was an excellent guide, very informative and patient with all of my questions. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her as a guide to Pere Lachaise.

Caroline was very attentive and very knowledgeable about the history of the people whose graves we saw which helped us understand certain periods and people. It was a pleasure to take this tour with her and we would recomend her and the tour to our friend. Once again thank you to Caroline.

Our guide was very knowledgeable and made the tour very interesting. The weather was rainy but with the rain the walk through this cemetery was very nice. This tour was nice to go on and a nice way to end the trip. It was nice to hear the history and many stories from our guide. A job well done.
