A fun day visiting 3 chateaux in the Loire Valley with a little wine tasting thrown in. Long drive out of Paris but our driver/guide Hanna kept us informed and laughing. Background discussions outside each location with time on our own to explore inside. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone who hasn't been.

Great tour choice with three worth to see castles and the beautiful Loire valley. Our guide Marion also played an important part of the wonderful experience with her knowledge, sense of humor and Parisian driving skills. Strongly recommend.

A must see, this tour of the Loire Valley is worth the early morning departure. The guide was excellent between sites but chateaux are toured on your own. I didn't expect the drive to and from Paris to be so beautiful and interesting. Don't worry about this distance because you won't be bored at all. I highly recommend this tour!

Enjoyable day out of Paris to the beautiful Country side of the Loire Valley. The Castles and Castle grounds were fascinating. We had plenty of time to explore on each of our stops. Our Guide Annisy was very knowledgeable, personable and fun to be with. She gave us so much history of each Castle.

Highly recommend! Tour was excellent. Our guide was very well informed about the three Chateau's of the Loire Valley that we visited and was entertaining as well on the mini-van trip to and from the three Chateau's. An excellent tour from start to finish with comfortable transportation. Excellent lunch and wine tasting in Amboise, interesting sights along the route and an easy going schedule.

I have taken a castle tour before which did not include Amboise but to Chiverny instead. Amboise made the tour better than expected. Both the town and the castle were amazing. My favorite has always been Cheneceaux and Chambord is a must see as well. I would recommend both this tour and our guide, Roger. Roger was very knowledgeable and friendly.

We met our guide, Jean Paul near the Arc de Triomphe early in the morning. Jean Paul was very attentive and knowledgeable. Our first stop was the Château de Chambord in the Loire Valley. It was very big and grand. Next we traveled to Amboise to tour Château dAmboise. Amboise is a very cute village and it was fun to walk around the small shops. Our last stop was Château de Chenonceau, the most beautiful of all. Build over the river Cher the castle is very majestic. This trip is a must see!!

This was an amazing tour. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and full of great insights. The castles were breathe-taking. They even a few fire-places going and it was warm and very comfortable. The food at the local resturant was recomended by our guide. It was really good and the best part was he set-down and ate with us. That was one of the major highlights of the tour outside of the castles. Do not past this opportunity up. This is the tour for you and your family!!!
