Amboise Tours and Tickets

Q: How much does it cost to visit Amboise in 2026?

Amboise is a town, and visiting is free. While you can go on your own if you arrange transportation privately, you may find it easier to visit on a Loire Valley tour. Small-group tours from Paris typically run between US$280 and US$400 per person, and include transportation and guide services.

Q: What is Amboise best known for?

Amboise is best known for its architecture, most notably its pretty timbered houses and the massive Château d'Amboise. The city is also home to the Clos Lucé, which was Leonardo da Vinci's final home, and the Pagode de Chanteloup, a Chinese-style pagoda dating to 1775.

Q: Which castles can you visit in Amboise?

Château d’Amboise is the main draw for castle lovers coming to Amboise, but many people visit the city as part of a larger, multi-castle tour. Other castles in the area include Château de Chenonceau, Château de Nitray, Château de la Ménaudière, and Château de Loches.

Q: How do you get to Amboise from Paris?

The easiest way to get to Amboise from Paris is to join a day tour of the Loire Valley, many of which include transportation. You can also rent a car and drive yourself or take a train to Saint-Pierre-des-Corps and then switch to a different train to the Amboise station, about a mile (1.6 kilometers) from the castle.

Q: What is the best time of year to visit Amboise?

Spring may be the best time of year to visit Amboise, when the weather is lovely and gardens are in bloom. Summer is also a great time, with minimal chance of rain, but you should expect crowds. Early fall provides a good alternative with fewer visitors, especially on weekdays.

Amboise Discovery Segway 45mn

Cliff_C, Dec 2025

Fantastic Way to See Amboise!

Nicolas is a natural to train on the Segway and show guests around the charming and amazing town of Amboise. I can't think of a better way to see such a beautiful place. In fact, I've found myself looking for other Segway tours as I travel (although I'm sure few could match Nicolas' ease and engagement). We had 3 on our little tour (all "senior" aged...) with 2 never having even seen a Segway. In a few minutes, we stopped thinking about the machine and really began enjoying the whole experience and feeling of freedom. We loved every minute of the excursion and absolutely recommend it!

Wonderful photogropher

This was a great experience. I cannot recommend Iva strongly enough. She is patient and kind and has a wonderful way with children. She is clearly very experienced with shooting in Amboise. The backdrop of the chateau was perfect and Iva knew all the right spots and poses. We had an enjoyable shoot and we loved the photos.

Excellent! Gave us a greater understanding and appreciation for lovely Amboise.

It was a wonderful experience! Mark Playle, our guide, made our whole visit in Amboise so much more meaningful and interesting. He showed us things we would otherwise have missed or overlooked. By the time we were done, I was visualizing what it would be like to live in Amboise, not only in the past but also in the present. My husband, who is an artist who sometimes paints from photos from our travel, felt a strong bonding to Mark, who is a professional photographer and artist.
