Chartres
The ancient town of Chartres predates the Romans, but its heyday came in the Middle Ages when it became a major pilgrimage site after receiving the Sancta Camisa, believed to be the tunic worn by the Mary at the time of Christ's birth, and erecting its UNESCO-listed cathedral. This masterpiece of Gothic architecture was nearly destroyed during WWII, but thanks to Colonel Welborn Barton Griffith, Jr. who snuck behind enemy lines with a single other soldier to confirm the cathedral was clear of enemy troops, it was spared. The Colonel, however, was not so lucky and was killed in action later that day. Today, along with the masterfully-decorated facades, the cathedral is the mecca of stained glass - how its famous ‘Chartres blue’ was achieved still remains a mystery. Walking the town’s picturesque streets, visitors are treated to winding lanes and stairways, lined with half-timbered houses.

Chateau de Maintenon
Chateau de Maintenon
Originally a medieval castle, the estate was purchased by Louis XII's treasurer Jean Cottereau, who transformed the castle into a country manor, and began a long process of renovations and expansions that continued through the 18th century. Louis XIV ordered the construction of an aqueduct through the property to feed the fountains of Versailles - ‘a work worthy of the Caesars’ according to François-René de Chateaubriand. Today, visitors can walk through the carefully manicured park to appreciate the mixture of spires and steeples projecting from the chateau. Inside, the owners carefully restored the rooms to their former glory, filling them to the rafters with period-correct furnishings, and all the accoutrements of noble life.

Great transfer option.

I used this service for a transfer from Split in Croatia to Perast Montenegro. My experience was exceptional. My driver Bojan was helpful, informative and ensured my journey was comfortable and enjoyable. I highly recommend the service.

Great transfer option.

It was a fantastic trip.

We were extremely satisfied with the quality of service we received from Day Trip. We had two Day Trip rides on August 31 from Athens to Lefkada and September 7 from Lefkada back to Athens. Both trips included stops at scenic sites in Greece. Both drivers were excellent and accommodating. However, we’d especially like to recognize Panos Peppas, who was our driver from Lefkada to Athens. Panos was incredibly nice & pleasant and delivered outstanding customer service, which included handling all of luggage, providing us with cold waters throughout the trip, providing us protein bars, providing us with printed materials on the Corinth Canal (one of scenic stops), looking up and providing us with terminal & gate info for our flight back home and providing us with a recipe for tzatziki.

It was a fantastic trip.

Best transport company anywhere

We absolutely love this company and have used it many times over the years to get from A to B without the hassle of hiring a car ourselves. Excellent drivers every time. Efficient and professional. It’s worth every penny and we can honestly recommend Day Trip to everyone. It’s 5 star rating is well deserved.

Reasonably Priced and Safe Transportation

Gonzalo from daytrip was our driver and he was absolutely amazing. He went over and beyond trying to locate us as our service wasn't so good on our phones. He patiently awaited our arrival to the lobby so he could take us from Tulum Dreams Resort to our other hotel in cancun an hour and a half away near the airport prior to our departure flight home. He was polite, respectful and kind. Made sure we were comfortable during our long ride. Fast and to the point. I recommend this company as finding a one way ride from Tulum to Cancun isn't easy or cheap and this company provides a great service for a great price. I will definitely be using them again whenever I'm in the Cancun/Tulum area. Thank you DayTrip and Gonzola.

Daytrip never disappoints

We were picked up by Marianna to drive us from Heraklion to Chania. The weather was terrible & due to this Marianna arrived a few minutes late. She contacted me to advise of this. Marianna lives in Chana and she made our trip very interesting by informing us of local things to do and see in Chania. Marianna is a safe driver and we all felt comfortable with the speed she drove at and how good her driving was in heavy rain. She is a lovely person with fluent English. We highly recommend Daytrips and if you are in Heraklion or Chania please make sure you ask for Marianna.

Great driver in Egypt

Used the service to go from Luxor to Hurghada, Egypt. Ahmed H was our driver and he was perfect. The car was new, clean, he had water and snacks for us, and accommodated our stops. Great service from him and would recommend it.

Comfortable and Safe Rides in Mexico

Used Daytrip for two rides in Mexico, which were both great. So comfortable, and we arrived at each of our destinations at a great time. Both were incredible drivers, and we felt so safe. One of our drivers, Miguel, also played the best music! Will definitely use Daytrip on our next trip to Mexico.

Great way to travel and see some sights on the way

We did not know what to expect with this trip and booked from Australia. We were initially looking for an easy way to travel from Granada to Malaga. We decided not to waste the opportunity to see something additional on our way. Miguel certainly exceeded our expectations. His English was excellent (unfortunately we speak very little Spanish), and he was very friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed hearing about the regions as we passed through and also discussing some of the local ways. Miguel took us to Antequera as planned and ensured we were able to easily get our tickets to the attractions without any sense of rushing us. We were picked up and dropped off punctually and really enjoyed our trip. Hopefully we will return to Spain and we can use this service again sometime.

Excellent service

We used the service twice while in Thailand. Extremely prompt and efficient customer service. Best rate being offered in Chiang Mai for the travels. Polite, punctual, professional and English speaking drivers. Clean, comfortable vehicles. Being a regular visitor to Thailand, this was hands down the best service. Most pleased with the company. I hope it sustains the excellence of service that was rendered to us.

Excellent service

Know more about your day trip

Chartres Cathedral is considered the finest example of French Gothic architecture, renowned for its remarkably preserved 12th and 13th-century stained glass windows covering 2,600 square meters. During your 3.5-hour visit, you'll see the contrasting spires (one Gothic, one Romanesque), the intricate sculptures of the Royal Portal, and the famous labyrinth in the nave floor. The cathedral's 176 stained glass windows create a unique blue-tinted light that has inspired pilgrims and visitors for centuries.
Chateau de Maintenon offers a fascinating glimpse into French history as the home of Madame de Maintenon, King Louis XIV's second wife. During your 2.5-hour visit, explore the furnished castle rooms showcasing 17th-century living, admire the formal French gardens designed by Andre Le Nôtre, and see the remarkable unfinished aqueduct commissioned by Louis XIV to bring water to Versailles. The chateau provides a more intimate and less crowded historical experience than larger royal palaces.
Begin your 3.5-hour Chartres visit at the cathedral, allowing at least 90 minutes to appreciate the architecture, stained glass, and labyrinth. Consider hiring a local guide or using the cathedral's audio guide to understand the symbolic imagery. Afterward, explore the medieval old town with its half-timbered houses, particularly along the Eure River in the picturesque Quartier de la Basse Ville. The steep pedestrian streets offer charming shops and cafes perfect for a lunch break before continuing to Chateau de Maintenon.
If visiting between April and January, consider timing your day trip to include Chartres en Lumieres a spectacular light show where the cathedral and 24 monuments throughout the city are illuminated with colorful projections. The display runs nightly from nightfall until 1 AM (April-October) or midnight (October-January). Your Daytrip driver can adjust your schedule for an evening return if you wish to experience this magnificent free attraction.
Chartres is approximately 90 kilometers (56 miles) southwest of Paris, with a driving time of about 1 hour 15 minutes. Chateau de Maintenon is 20 kilometers (12.5 miles) further, adding about 25 minutes to the journey. The driving route takes you through the beautiful French countryside and agricultural landscapes of the Eure-et-Loir department. Your private Daytrip driver handles all transportation, allowing you to enjoy the scenery between destinations.
The Eure-et-Loir region offers several culinary specialties worth trying during your day trip. In Chartres, look for pate chartrain (game meat pate), mentchikoffs (chocolate-covered almonds), and the local beer produced by L'Eurelienne brewery. The area is also known for its Perche cider and poultry dishes. Several restaurants near the cathedral serve traditional regional cuisine, while the Chateau de Maintenon area offers quaint countryside eateries serving farm-to-table French dishes.
To maximize your day trip, arrive at Chartres early (around 9 AM) to experience the cathedral before tour groups arrive. Focus on the cathedral and old town during your 3.5-hour visit, perhaps including lunch at a local restaurant. At Chateau de Maintenon, take a guided tour of the interior (approximately 1 hour) and then explore the gardens and aqueduct independently during your remaining 1.5 hours. Your Daytrip driver can help coordinate timing between destinations.
