My wife and I really enjoyed this tour. Our guide, Lilith, and driver, Steve, were fantastic. While Chartres and the Cathedral are a must-see from Paris, their enthusiasm and good humour really enhanced our experience. We hope to use their services again for other tours.

Guide Lillet (sp) and driver Steve are the perfect pair to show you the splendor and beauty of Chartres. In a very comfortable automobile Lillet explains much of the history about both Chartres the Cathedral and the town while driving en route. It’s a magnificent site when you first see it from the road. Lillet was superb and comprehensive in her knowledge and extremely adept at conveying it. She also showed a bit of the charming town after the tour of the Cathedral. The trip back to Paris was smooth and comfortable and included a lively discussion about Russian authors & the need to find the right translations that do them justice. Cannot recommend this tour highly enough.

Wonderful tour of a fabulous cathedral! The guide was great, providing just enough detail. Wish we had had more time in town, to stop at a café.

Very disappointing. We confirmed pick up time with the guide company the day before our tour. Less than 24 hours they canceled for “unfortunate reasons “.

Our guide, Lillith, was exceptionally knowledgeable and personable. She personalized our tour and ensured it was most enjoyable. I would highly recommend her and the tour itself.

Learned a lot about Chartres and cathedrals in general - our guide was very informative. Of particular interest was learning how to interpret the stained glass windows and statues and how they tell a story.

I booked this private tour of Chartres when my usual tour company was not available. Guides in France must be certified and licensed so I wasn't too worried about changing your companies other than the quality of the vehicle. Our guide, Kiko, was very friendly and knowledgeable and had a good sense of humor. Chartres itself was fantastic. I had been there many decades (yikes) before and while it was amazing, the cathedral was grimy and unlit inside. Since, it has undergone an amazing restoration (still ongoing) and is well lit inside. Kiko knew so much of the history of the people, biblical and historical references, the architecture, etc and was a very good storyteller, an important skill for a guide. We had a lovely experience
