Max has an incredible depth of knowledge about Père Lachaise Cemetery and its fascinating history. Once he got to know our interests, he personalized the tour in a way that made it even more engaging and entertaining! His thoughtful approach added a special touch to the experience. Thank you, Max, for a truly interesting and memorable day!

Max was absolutely brilliant. His level of expertise and knowledge of history wove its way perfectly through our tour of Père Lachaise Cemetery as we walked through this wondrous place. He knew exactly when to use humour and when to stop and let us reflect upon the solemnity of the moment. I would unflinchingly recommend him to anyone planning to visit Père Lachaise Cemetery.

This was a delightful tour, and not creepy, as some may think. You will learn about the lives of interesting people across the centuries and see the art of the mausoleums, as shared by Max, a delightful, knowledgeable, and caring companion. The setting is a centuries-old garden. Wear good footwear as the path is often uneven and hilly. You will not forget this soon.

We had a wonderful day with Max. He was both interesting and interested, trading stories, observations, and quotes throughout our visit. His knowledge of the cemetery, and his ability to tell it’s stories, is remarkable.

Highly recommended as small groups only (2-3 people) versus the hordes we saw trailing other guides. Max took us on a lovely stroll all over the 110 acres of the cemetery giving us the history of graves/monuments both big and small, local and international. He tailored some of the sights to the interests and backgrounds of our group which was a lovely touch. Personable, friendly and an interesting guy in his own right, he made the afternoon so enjoyable. Plus some fabulous Parisian Spring weather was the icing on the gateau.

My family and I had the most wonderful guided tour of Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris with our guide, Max. Max knew every nook-and-cranny of the storied resting place and took us to see points of interests that few would know about. He has an easy personality and is eager to answer all of our questions. I didn’t think it possible to be excited about a cemetery tour but Max made it that and more! Our family and I made a new friend!

Delightful tour by Max yesterday. Even though it was a wet autumnal morning, he never lost his enthusiasm for this stunning atmospheric cemetery. Some of the finest graves & memorials to be seen in the world. Truly remarkable.

What an wonderful guide and person Max is. He brought so much knowledge and history to our 2.5 hours with him. THIS is the only tour you should think about if you want to explore Père Lachaise Cemetery. Max is personable sharing his journey through life and then passes on a wealth of knowledge about the history of this beautiful resting spot. Yes, he takes you to all the famous graves but more importantly to the graves people would never even think to stop and learn about them. Others passed by while Max spoke poetically about some of the unknowns. Thank you Max for a wonderful trip through time.

Max was a most excellent guide. He really brought to life the shaping of Père Lachaise Cemetery, the history and stories behind it and, of course, the people who are buried there. Not just the obvious famous people, but the charm of some of the unknown graves also. In spite of the inclement weather, we had an excellent morning and would very much recommend.

We took a tour of Pere La Chaise Cemetery with Max and it was wonderful. He was extremely knowledgeable, extremely friendly, and extremely accommodating. We totally enjoyed him and the tour. We had lunch afterwards and he is a delightful person. I highly recommend him. I cannot say anything negative about him. You really should book with him.

The tour was great and we very much enjoyed the guidance and information on all that Père Lachaise Cemetery has to offer. The cemetery is so large it is that doing it on your own would be difficult.

It was a pleasure to meet you and we couldn’t have chosen better.

Thank you so much! It was a very entertaining introduction to Père Lachaise and we will certainly visit when we return to Paris again.

Thanks, Max. Your tour was great and you are obviously an authority AND a lover of Père Lachaise Cemetery. Thank you so much!!

Thank you, Max for our walking tour of Père Lachaise Cemetery. It was very nice to meet you, as well. We had a great time on the tour and it was a highlight of our trip to Paris.

We had a wonderful time at Père Lachaise Cemetery! Your walking tour was great, very interesting and fun. The kids enjoyed it as well. We will certainly recommend it to our friends and family.

We did get to the theatre with ample time and had a wonderful afternoon with you Max. Thank you so much for your hospitality and for sharing your passion for Père Lachaise Cemetery with us.

Thank you, Max, for a great tour and subsequent coffee! We really enjoyed meeting and chatting with you and appreciate the Parisian intel!

We signed up for a tour of Père Lachaise Cemetery in the summer with little time to spare and, as it happens in the pouring rain – Max managed to make it a real trip to remember. He is a great story teller – delivering an impressive amount of information in an interesting, concise, humorous and compassionate way. He was able to tailor the tour to our interests, as we could not possibly have done the whole of Père Lachaise Cemetery, but also introduced us to people and histories we were not aware of. So, altogether a lovely outing – highly recommended!

I was one on the first to do the Père Lachaise Cemetery tour in Paris with Max: it was extremely enjoyable and super interesting. We had intense moments of reflections and emotions but also a lot of fun thanks to the lovely sense of humour of Max. I strongly recommend this experience.

Max was a wonderful guide for our visit of Père Lachaise Cemetery, witty and inspired, he showed us both the unmissable and the hidden spots, with a narrative full of life but also respect for the dignity of the place.

Super guide, knowledgeable and friendly, it made all the difference to our visit! Thanks to Max, we could see all the important and secret corners of this fascinating cemetery. We’ll be back!
