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 La Vacanza Travel 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 La Vacanza Travel'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.
