Top Loire Valley Food Tours

* A traveler said: "Wonderful Vouvray Loire Valley Tour! Lovely surprise to have one of the tastings right there in the vineyard! Professional and kind Driver/Guide. We really enjoyed the selections. I highly recommend."

* A traveler said: "Full day touring three chateaus of the Loire. Claire was amazing and knew so much about the history of the region and not just what we were visiting. The lunch at the private estate was very memorable but wish some of that time was allocated to our visits of the two main chateaus."

* A traveler said: "I had an enjoyable day on this tour. We were lucky to only have a small group of 3 for the day, and Audrey (our guide) was super friendly and full of energy. She certainly knows the history of each site, and she passed this knowledge on to us throughout the day. I highly recommend this tour."

* A traveler said: "Great experience. Very interesting hearing all about how the wine is produced and seeing the wonderful vineyard. The wine tasted fantastic. The host spoke English very well. Thank you."

* A traveler said: "Myriam picked us up at bus station in town, We were with another couple so it was nice and leisurely as well. We walked the vineyard tasting different grapes, then went to watch her husband and crew make the wine. Went into the wine caves. Nice wine and cheese party at the end"

* A traveler said: "Everythung was perfect about the day and the guide. We did feel a bit cramped though....four couples is a bit more than the van needs. But well worth it. Daphne is a fun, high energy guide!"

* A traveler said: "This was a great day in the Loire Valley. The chateaus visited were remarkable and the guide was knowledgeable and excellent. The lunch at the winery gave the participants in the tour time in interact and become friendly with each other."

* A traveler said: "The castles, wine and food were amazing and Manon was an awesome tour guide. Loved every minute!"

* A traveler said: "Vincent was excellent! He is knowledgeable but completely unpretentious. We got to tour the wineries, the vineyards, the caves, and taste a number of wines that may not be found elsewhere. Highly recommended."

* A traveler said: "We thoroughly enjoyed our tour! Our host was understanding when we were dumb and went to the wrong tourist office for pick-up, and he was able to make changes to the tour to due to weather. Two great chateau visits and two great winery tours. Exactly what we were looking for!"

* A traveler said: "Colin treated us to an amazing day in the Loire Valley! He's unbelievably knowledgeable about the varietals local to the region, is well known to the staff at the vineyards we visited, and even jumped behind the tasting bar at the last one to pour for us since there was a larger group there at the same time. We swapped Chateau D'Amboise (beautiful) for Chenonceau on our tour because it's a bit more relaxed right now in terms of numbers they can admit and Covid related ticketing restrictions and it's just that kind of insight that makes booking a private tour worth it. Colin has excellent taste in wine, a great sense of humor and is just a pleasure to spend the day with. Couldn't recommend booking with him more. One of our favorite days of vacation and we can't wait for the wine we bought to arrive (Colin even organized and handled shipping for us) so we can open a bottle and talk about the wonderful time we had the day we bought it."

* A traveler said: "We thought we were going on a tour to learn about the Muscadet wine and how it was grown and the process to put it into a bottle on our table. Franck did all of this and gave us a wonderful insight into the history of the region. We were shown how,why and where the grapes are grown, an insight into the terrior here and given a comprehensive tasting at a leading vineyard . Great English for those of us who have very little French-highly recommended. Lovely man. Thank you Franck Peter and Toni Australia"

* A traveler said: "We had a private tour of two Châteaux: Chambord and Chenonceau with lunch in between. That was interesting since it was in the caves of a local winery and the lights went out after we sat down. A little daylight and many candles rectified the situation although it was still a bit dim. The owners were very nice, however. The actual tours were very good; our guide Nicolas (not quite sure of the spelling), was marvelous. He is personable and extremely knowledgeable about the chateaux and the surrounding area. We highly recommend him."

* A traveler said: "We thoroughly enjoyed the day with our tour guide Franc. His knowledge of the wine industry was impressive and authentic. We visited two wineries and were surprised to be able to tour so many of their facilities. The wine tasting was superb and we had the opportunity to purchase our favorites. One of the wineries is a 5th generation operation and we met the winemaker and his wife. It was a lovely experience. We stopped for a 3-course lunch in a quaint restaurant that was superb. Our guide and all of the people that we encountered on this tour were cheerful, friendly, and engaging. We cannot thank Franc enough for an experience that we will always remember."

* A traveler said: "Top value tour for a tight schedule. The best chateaux to visit nearby Tours. Our guide, Daphné, was extremely knowledgeable about the chateaux and wineries, highlighting all the interesting points along the day. She also surprised us with a picnic during the visit to Château de L'Islette and even helped with booking a fantastic dinner back in town. Fully recommended."
