Highgatecemetery レビュー 

Thoroughly enjoyed our tour, which was upbeat and informative throughout. Thank you Julie for being a great tour guide. Particularly enjoyed going into the crypt and having an inquisitive fox pause by our group...even though he temporarily stole Julie's limelight!

I never knew visiting a cemetery could be so much fun! Peter, our guide, made the whole experience absolutely brilliant from start to finish. He was upbeat, to the point and funny. The cemetery itself is such a wonderful piece of London's history. I think having someone talk us through some highlights made it all come alive (if you will). I'll definitely go again.

Julia was great very polite and full of history.
And had a head full of information, our group had a great time.
We had a fantastic time.
1839 ".!
The area. Is full of history. And yes it's was amazing time we had...
Keep the trees just trim the tops?
Thank you for this and we visited Camden also!
Worth the price we paid -

I have been wanting to visit Highgate cemetery for ages and today (1st July) i was able to achieve that wish and boy i wasn't disappointed.
I arrived with 40+ other people and we were split into 2 groups our guide for the tour of the West side was Julia, what an asset to Highgate she is she guided us around giving us lots of information about the different graves and some of the stories behind them. Our tour lasted 1hr 20mins i could have listened to Julia all day.
I would certainly recommend visiting the cemetery if you are in the area. It is well worth the entrance fee which helps keep both sides of the cemetery safe and looking tidy for visitors. Can i pick one part which stood out for me on the tour no it was all great and i will be returning.

I’ve been wanting to visit for years and it did not disappoint. Would highly recommend you book a tour. We had the excellent John W, his knowledge was exceptional and his passion for the place shone through. He was also great storyteller and was open to lots of questions. It’s definitely worth the visit

I had a wonderful experience touring Highgate Cemetery, made even better by our guide, Peter. From the moment the tour began, Peter’s deep knowledge of the cemetery’s history, architecture, and notable residents was clear. He brought the stories to life with engaging detail, blending historical facts with fascinating anecdotes and a great sense of humor.
The atmosphere of Highgate is already incredibly evocative, but Peter’s storytelling added real depth and meaning to what we were seeing. He answered questions thoughtfully and made sure everyone felt involved, never rushing the group while still keeping the tour well paced.
This tour was both informative and memorable, and I left with a much greater appreciation for Highgate’s cultural and historical significance. I would highly recommend this experience—especially with Peter as your guide.

The highlights tour was fabulous. History about the cemetery and about some of the interesting people buried there. Enthusiastic, positive guide made it easy to relate to and ask questions.

Such a good day out, beautiful location. Well worth doing the tour, John was full of information and didn’t mind questions and shared his wealth of information with the group.

We prebooked and opted for a tour of the cemetery for an additional £8.00 plus the £10.00 entrance. The tours ran every half hour from the entrance and our guide Paul was the most fantastic host. Informative, respectful and joyously witty when telling certain stories. The tour lasted approximately 75-90 minutes.
I would thoroughly recommend a visit and include the tour.
Helpful tip : Wear comfy footwear

We took part in a Highlights tour of the cemetery and myself and daughter found it a fascinating slice of history . Our guide Nicola who you can tell has a great love for the cemetery and history was excellent and told us lots of interesting facts . I would highly recommend a visit if especially like me you love Victorian history .

I have always wanted to visit Highgate Cemetery and I am so glad that I finally did this. It is such a beautiful place and has such a fascinating history. It's not only Karl Marx who is buried there!
Julia, our tour guide, was absolutely brilliant, mixing her great knowledge with touches of humour and conscientiously pointing out all trip hazards. I would really recommend this tour to anyone interested in the history of London, but not if you have mobility issues.

Visited Highgate Cemetery with our U3A group and enjoyed a really excellent tour of the West Cemetery led by volunteer guide Julie. Brilliant tour, informative educational and amusing- really made the day. A wonderful day out

Yesterday I attended a tour at the cemetery. What an amazing experience. The tour guide was informative, interesting and extremely worth spending the time with. You would miss so much if you didn’t have a tour in the trip. It’s worth a whole day.

We had a great tour of the west cemetery today I would highly recommend. Our guide was Stephen, he was really knowledgeable and told many stories of the people buried and their lives it was fascinating! Thanks to the friends of the cemetery and volunteers who do great work.

We’d been talking about wanting to have a wander around Highgate Cemetery for ages so decided the only way to get the most from a visit was to book ourselves onto a tour of the west side, Wow, how pleased were we. A big thank you to our tour guide Joe R who showed us around today. He was very knowledgeable, passionate and engaging, he really did make the tour very interesting. The tour took around 1hr 30 mins which went incredibly quickly. We’ve already recommended this to family as an absolute must to visit. Definitely give it a visit, you won’t be disappointed.

The hour and a half tour includes key graves and visit to the catacombs in the old part of the cemetery then you can cross the road to the less ancient part and visit unguided. Our guide Nigel was very informative, always interesting and personable, and obviously passionate about this fascinating place which is full of history and human interest. Wear comfy shoes with thick soles, some of the paths are a bit stony.

We went for a guided tour of the West side first, our guide Julia was very friendly and informative, loved hearing all the history of such a beautiful place and even had a family of foxes come out and wander around. We then went across the road to the East side which was equally stunning. We could’ve spent the whole day there, a lot to see and hear.

Visited today on a highlights tour With Julia
Very much enjoyed the tour Julia was very knowledgeable and took her time explaining every grave to us
Thoroughly recommend to anyone who enjoys cemetery visiting

Fascinating and beautiful at the same time. Guide Martin is a font of knowledge.
We enjoyed a hot sunny Sunday afternoon West tour at 1pm.
Martin answered so many questions along the tour and was sometimes fun and sometimes deadly serious, and always very interesting.
Too many highlights, but do see the memorial for Thomas Sayers.
Some Visiting Advice:
1. The West Cemetery paths are pebbly and uneven, so do wear good walking shoes.
2. There are limited facilities on site, so bring a water bottle.
3. The tour is about one hour but you may like extra time afterwards to re-trace or look along other paths, and explore the other East or West side.
4. Do buy the guidebook, it explains so much more, and gives you a fuller appreciation of the Victorian perception of death, status, symbolism and religion at the time.

Absolutely brilliant & completely fascinating. We did the west side tour with Steve who is incredibly knowledgeable & full of interesting facts. He kept us fully enthralled for a good hour & a half. We then wandered around the east side & bumped into John, another guide, who was happy to spend time giving us more information. We would 100% recommend a visit here. Wrap up warm, wear sensible shoes & immerse yourself in some amazing history.
