Excellent 1/2 day private excursion to Chartres Cathedral with driver and experienced guide included. Very interesting and energetic visit to Chartres with lots of history and detail. If you are determined to visit Chartres from Paris, this is an excellent option.
We were looking forward to visiting Chartres for a year and weren’t disappointed. The cathedral is breath taking and Lillit, our guide, was the perfect interpreter of the stories told in the stained glass windows and provided historical details of building and rebuilding of the cathedral. She followed our interests and managed to share her knowledge while supporting our interests as difference aspects of the cathedral caught our attention. We also had the time to see the medieval town center and visit the open market and shops. The drive from Paris to Chartres was an opportunity to set up our tour and see the countryside. Nicolai, our driver, even provided interesting details on Paris infrastructure on the drive to Chartres and a relaxing playlist on the way home. Highly recommend and ask for Lillit!
Thank you for such a thoughtful and detailed review! We’re delighted to hear your long-awaited visit to Chartres Cathedral lived up to your expectations. It’s wonderful to know that Lillit’s knowledge, storytelling, and ability to tailor the experience to your interests helped bring the cathedral’s history and stained glass to life. We’re also so pleased that you enjoyed exploring the medieval town center, local market, and surrounding countryside. Nicolai will be happy to hear his insights, comfortable driving, and relaxing playlist added to such a memorable day. Thank you again for your kind recommendation — we truly appreciate it and hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable experience!”

Thank you so much dear Customer
My husband is on a wheelchair and Corrine and her driver ( forgot his name) were very sensitive to his needs. It was very educational and was very pleasant.
Thank you very much for sharing your experience with us. We’re truly glad to hear that Corrine and the driver provided such thoughtful and attentive care, ensuring your husband’s needs were met with sensitivity and respect. It means a great deal to us that the experience was both pleasant and enriching. We sincerely hope to welcome you again in the future.
Viator does not stand by their obligations to its customers. When there is a problem as we had with a driver who took off after we were 7 minutes late. There is no one to call. It is shameful. The website gives you a link to get a refund and the link doesn’t work. DON’T USE THEM!

It was a last minute booking to see Chartes. Very good driver. Guide was adequate but could have been more interactive and present more information.
Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad to hear you were satisfied with the driver and overall experience. We also appreciate your comments about the guide — we’ll share this with our team to help improve future tours.
Caroline was super friendly and. Informative. The drive out from Paris is mellow 90 minutes. I suggest adding an hour to your tour so you can take a break, have some lunch and refresh yourself for more information about this marvelous place.
Thank you for your lovely feedback! We’re so glad to hear you enjoyed your time with Caroline and found the journey comfortable and informative. Your suggestion about adding extra time for a lunch break and a more relaxed visit is a great one — we truly appreciate it and hope to welcome you again on another tour!
Absolutely amazing stain glass and so much too! Beautiful cathedral nestled in a quaint little French town. Built in the 12th century is more amazing than Norte Dame in many ways.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful impression! We’re delighted you enjoyed the beauty and history of the cathedral — it truly is a hidden gem with its stunning stained glass and unique charm. We’re so glad it left such a memorable impact on your visit.
