Excellent Guide for an Informative and Fun Visit to Chartres Cathedral
Valerie_E, Feb 2024
Victoria was an excellent guide for my afternoon trip to Chartres from Paris. She is extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of the Cathedral, and I learned a lot about the history of the Cathedral as a pilgrimage site, and also details on how to "read" stained glass. She was open to questions and very informative and fun! She pointed out that my visit was on the first day of the opening of the labyrinth, and explained the significance and process of walking it (which I did after our two hours together was over). There is so much more to see and learn about this fascinating building, I hope to return in the future and will certainly book with Victoria again.
Wonderful Cathedral Tour

Victoria is a very knowledgeable guide and kept the tour very interesting. We particularly enjoyed learning about the meanings of the Cathedral’s stained glass windows and labyrinth. We highly recommend this tour with Victoria.
Awesome for history fans
Gregg_M, Nov 2023
This was a fabulous tour with Victoria as the tour guide and included the catacombs and cathedral. She took us through the tour route similar to how a pilgrim would have done which was really interesting. She added a few unique touches that I won’t give away. Fascinating history of site, the cathedral and the stories around the choir carvings and the stain glass windows. How to determine if it was a sponsored window and how to figure out who sponsored it was delightful. The labyrinth section was interesting too. Overall we found Chartres well worth the visit and the guide excellent.
