3-Hour Private Tour of Dijon with CDG Airport Transfer
From medieval duchy to contemporary culture, discover Dijon at your own pace with a private guide and chauffeur.

Dijon is far more than its celebrated mustard. As the former capital of the medieval Duchy of Burgundy, the city carries centuries of political and artistic history within its compact center. Its wine culture, Gothic architecture, and thriving contemporary arts scene make it a rewarding destination for travelers with limited time.
The tour is designed to give visitors a coherent introduction to the city without requiring prior knowledge of Burgundy. The private format means the itinerary moves at a pace suited to your group, with a knowledgeable guide providing context at each stop.
The transfer from CDG Airport takes approximately one hour each way, which is included in the overall arrangement. Drop-off is flexible and can be arranged at your hotel or another location in the city center.

Itinerary
Your private chauffeur meets you at Charles de Gaulle Airport for a direct transfer to Dijon. The drive takes approximately one hour and serves as an introduction to the Burgundy landscape.
On arrival, your guide leads a chauffeured orientation tour through the city. This gives you a broad overview of Dijon's layout, neighborhoods, and key landmarks before you step out on foot.
The cathedral, built between 1280 and 1314, is the city's foremost example of Burgundian Gothic architecture. Beneath it lies the Rotonde, a three-story Carolingian crypt containing the relics of Saint Benignus, the apostle of Burgundy.
Set within a 17th-century monastery, this museum documents regional life from the 19th and 20th centuries. Collections include traditional costumes, everyday objects, and a dedicated exhibit on Dijon's famous faïence ceramics.
A short drive from the historic center brings you to the former necropolis of the Dukes of Burgundy. The site is home to the Puits de Moïse and the Portail de la Chapelle, both sculpted in 1404 and considered highlights of Burgundian medieval art.
Your private guide leads a one-hour walk through the historic center, covering Dijon's history, culture, and the character of its streets. At the close of the tour, your chauffeur returns you to your hotel, city center location, or CDG Airport.
