Day Tour of Chateaux of Chenonceau & Chambord from Tours/Amboise

Deborah_B, Jun 2026

Lovely day

Fabulous tour with a great and knowledgeable guide. Both chateaux were incredible, but Chambord was absolutely amazing. I chose this tour because it had the free time lunch stop in Amboise, which gave me plenty of time to visit the chateau there and see Leonardo da Vinci’s burial site. It was a perfect day.

Day Tour to Chenonceau and Chambord Castles

Robert_T, Jun 2026

Wonderful day out

Wonderful day out with a small group with the delightful Flora as our guide. She was unassuming, very knowledgeable and so warm and friendly. It was an absolute joy to spend the day with her. This was a well paced tour and I never felt rushed - great balance between guided tour and free time. Would definitely use this tour company again for further touring when in France.

Caves Ambacia, Tour and Wine Tasting in Amboise, Loire Valley

A great experience.

A fantastic experience. Interesting and informative and engaging. We enjoyed smelling the fragrances and guessing what they were. The wine tasting and pairing is excellent. 6 wines to taste (3 red and 3 white) paired with different cheeses and different sausages. All delicious! Tomas did an excellent job.

Marion was an excellent guide, who was able to answer all kinds of questions. The chateaus were spectacular and the lunch was lovely. One of our party is hard of hearing and she was easily able to understand Marion's English easily. It was a great experience overall.

Highly Recommend!!!! Most Amazing Birthday!

This experience was seamless and extremely professional from start (reserving) to finish! We have never done this before and it was an exciting and most enjoyable birthday experience! This group of professionals is the way to do this experience! The excellent communication was extremely appreciated and we felt 100% safe at all times. Our pilot was very careful and transparent about the weather conditions and monitored that and the take off location very closely. We had 8 people plus the AMAZING pilot on our trip and we loved having a small group. Amboise is a beautiful village and these are very kind beautiful people.

Picnic in the Vines - A Unique Loire Wine Experience

Megan_A, Apr 2026

Lovely Day Among The Vines

Lovely afternoon spent among the beauty of this chateau vineyard. The proprietor gave us a great tour of the winery with interesting facts of his family’s long history on the property. You can really see how lovingly involved the family is from planting to bottling. The wine and picnic were divine - delicious food and a fantastic setting hidden among the garden! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a nice, leisurely afternoon!

Tony_T, Apr 2026

Fun and Informative Tour

Our tour guide Garnet was excellent. She was informative, funny, and personable. The half day tour was also the perfect amount of time as it allowed us to see a chateau and gardens in the morning while giving us time to add our own items later in the day. Highly recommend!

Afternoon Loire Valley Wine Tour from Tours or Amboise

Deb_E, Oct 2025

A lovely afternoon learning about wines of the Loire Valley.

Laurent was a fantastic guide, sharing his deep knowledge of the wines of the region. We visited a vineyard and learned about appellations and the specific terroir, picking and pruning methods of the plot. The first winery we visited was a small local winemaking family with a lovely range of wines. In contrast, our second tasting was at a cooperative where we tasted 5 different wines. Laurent was very generous in sharing information and special thanks for the delicious cheeses and saucisson he selected to accompany our tastings.

Morning - Loire Valley Wine Tour & Food Pairing, Vouvray

Kevin_T, Oct 2025

Worth it all, if you love vouvray and Chenin blanc!!!

This vouvray wine tour was just absolutely perfect! Lorenzo was an amazing tour guide, loved how we went to three different wineries/ makers. Tried so many different types of sparkling and still white wines and even some reds. I did have a blast and learned so much about wines and how they are produced and shipped right under the same roof! I would highly recommend this tour. Some things I would recommend is the pick up spot, maybe have a sign or logo where we know who we are going with. Besides that the tour was just perfect.

Loire Valley Half Day Wine Tour from Tours : 2 local wineries

doug_w, Sep 2025

Great wine tasting tour!

Our tour guide Dimitri was great!!! We visited 2 different wineries, toured their wine caves and production processes in early September during the harvest and crush. After touring the production processes at both wineries, we tasted all of their wines which were absolutely delicious. I am now only a French wine drinker!!!! We loaded into Dimitri's van at the Tours tourist office around 2:30 and didn't return until 6:30 p.m.!!!! He also took us out into vineyards on farm dirt roads and to educate us on local growing and harvesting practices and local history all of which was not only above and beyond the description of the tour, but fascinating!!!!

Hot Air Balloon Flight over the castle of Chenonceau / France

Randal_W, Jul 2025

Balloon Ride over Liore Valley

Our hot air balloon ride was nothing short of incredible. From start to finish, the staff made the entire experience smooth, enjoyable, and safe. They were welcoming, well-organized, and incredibly informative—taking the time to explain the process, safety precautions, and what to expect during the flight. Our pilot was clearly very experienced and well-trained, which made all the difference. From lift-off to landing, everything felt calm and controlled. We never once felt uneasy—in fact, the ride was so peaceful it was easy to forget how high up we were! Floating silently over the landscape while the sun lit up the horizon was a magical experience. The views were breathtaking and the overall atmosphere was relaxing and awe-inspiring.
