    A day a seeing beautiful chateaus in the Loire Valley

    The tour guide, Marion was terrific. She was punctual, was an excellent driver, knew the area very well and gave our a group terrific local insights into everything we saw. Seeing both Chenonceaux and Chambord and having lunch at a local chateau while driving through the countryside was a spectacular way to spend the day in the area. I highly recommend it.

    A Day in the Loire Valley

    , Sep 2021
    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.

    Just Perfect
    Leanne_F
    , Nov 2019
    From the moment our tour guide Agathe picked us up in Tours until the moment she dropped us back several hours later, everything was just perfect; from the little touches like coffee to start the day, to Agathe's enjoyable imparting on the chateaux visited, and finally wine and chocolate to end the day. To say nothing of the delightful lunch at Chateau de Villesavin, what a special treat indeed. Chateau Chenonceau and Chateau Chambord left us speechless; one for its beauty and the other for its sheer scale of unbelievable architecture. An unforgettable day, thank you to Agathe.

    The tour with Agethe was wonderful. She was a great tour guide who showed us around the three castles visited. She was able to answer any question posed. The lunch at the private castle was tasty and the wine very nice to try. I found this your to be very worthwhile despite the long day as we travelled from Paris.
