Chartres Cathedral ~ Wow beyond words with Victoria!

5.00This private tour of Chartres Cathedral has been on our bucket list since 2006 and wow! It was worth the wait! Victoria was our tour guide and her knowledge and enthusiasm and passion and love of Chartres was evident in everything she shared with us! The stained glass windows, the labyrinth, the church inside and outside, everything gave us an experience of this churches importance in history! We also learned how to "read" the stained glass windows from the bottom to the top! Fascinating and we were all engaged every moment of Victoria's Tour!!! And loved it! We would do it again and spend more hours with her!!! Take her tour and you will be changed forever! Loved it!
A truly memorable visit to Chartres

5.00I have been to Chartres many times and each time we have come here has been wonderful. But, our fabulous guide, Victoria, was the best guide ever! We saw the cathedral and the history of this majestic site in a whole new way. We were moved to tears. Her heart is with this place and her knowledge and enthusiasm made this tour one of the best ever!

5.00What a great tour! We were staying in Paris for a few days and wanted to discover places nearby that were accessible by train and easy to visit in a day before returning to Paris. Chartres is a lovely town to explore, and the Cathedral is definitely worth seeing — a true treasure of history and culture. Victoria is such a passionate, professional, and knowledgeable guide. Discovering the Cathedral with her was a real pleasure. She shared many fascinating facts without ever being boring. We didn’t even notice how much we’d learned until the tour was over. Choosing the guided tour with Victoria was the best decision we made — we learned a lot and enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you!
Don't see the Chartres Cathedral without Victoria!

5.00Victoria was the Perfect person to see the cathedral with. She was so passionate and informative about the cathedral and let the tour evolve around our questions and interests. We didn't feel rushed at all and she showed us so much of the inside and outside of the cathedral. We loved how focused she was on giving us the best experience.

Amazing tour of Chartres' Cathedral with Victoria!!

5.00The tour of Chartres' Cathedrale with Victoria was simply amazing! I had heard her before when I traveled with a group of students and she was wonderful - keeping the attention of 20 tired teenagers. This time I was with my brother-in-law and sister-in-law who are both history buffs and she was wonderful in a different way. She was able to answer all of our questions and changed the tour to accommodate our curiosity. Time flies by when you are listening to her. You even forget that your feet hurt from touring for days! I honestly cannot recommend this tour highly enough!
Excellent tour

5.00Victoria is amazing. She is like your favorite college professor: learned, engaging, eye-opening. I am stunned by how much we would have missed about the cathedral without her. She will raise your visit to a whole other level.
