About this tour
Step away from the busy streets and explore Père Lachaise Cemetery, a remarkable open-air landscape of graves, trees, and winding paths. On this private Paris Père Lachaise Cemetery tour, your guide shares stories and legends while helping you find the resting places of celebrated figures, including Jim Morrison, Oscar Wilde, Marcel Proust, and Édith Piaf.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.94 from 67 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in Paris
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 8.3. Top 9% in Paris means it ranks in the top 9% of tours in Paris by this score.
