Fairytale Chateaus
This experience was truely out of this world. I felt I had stepped into a fairy tale. Our guide Charline could not have done more to incorporate our needs and ensure we saw the highlights of each chateau. She worked hard to ensure the day was amazing. Merci beaucoup Charline

Beautiful!
Agate was so lovely! She had a great personality and knowledgeable. The van was clean and comfortable with 7 other passengers including myself. We visited 3 very different chateaus and were given adequate time at each. We had a lovely lunch with cheese, quiche, salad and wine at the 2nd chateau. I wish the weather was better but alas…
Overall, great day!

Solo Female Travel Experience
Linda took me on a private full day tour of central Shanghai. She is very knowledgeable about the history and also knows the best shopping and other trendy locations youthful people would enjoy. She is a wonderful guide for tourists of all ages. Our tour highlights included a few Temples, Yu Garden, the Bund/ Huangpu river area, French Concession area for an early dinner, and sunset at the tallest building in Shanghai for 360 views. She gave me some tips on things I could do for the last day of my trip and was very kind and helpful throughout our time together! Would recommend Linda from Sunny tours to any travelers going to Shanghai.
Yu Garden & City God Temple is a shopping and historical location very popular with tourists. There are a lot of vendors offering to do photo shoots of individuals in themed attire throughout the temple and garden areas. I believe Linda said the center garden location was built in the Ming dynasty. This closes at 4pm so be mindful when planning your trip. The tour company advised me of the hours to make sure I made the most out of my experience. Even if you are not interested in dressing up, there is plenty to see and do in that area. Though open during the day, the City God Temple area lights up with the rest of Shanghai at 6pm (sunset) and does not close until around 10pm. Beautiful to see!

Tour senza pensieri
It was a wonderful tour thanks to the guide, Tianshu, who we discovered, studied Italian directly in Italy, so it was easier for us to understand the explanations. Having a driver at our disposal was a convenience because we could leave our backpacks and tour around at our leisure. If you have a few hours to spare, we recommend this tour because you don't have to worry about anything; they'll take care of everything and show you both the oldest and most modern parts.

Delightful Tour Made the Most of Our Day
Ingrid was a superb tour guide who made the day fun, informative and incredible. We booked a group of 4 and after 2 other guests had to cancel, we only the 4 of us in the van. We only opted for the tour of the chateaux (without wine tasting), but Ingrid could not have been more accommodating. She assisted us at every step and made for an unforgettable day. The chateaux are breathtaking alone, but there are many ways to see them. I recommend this tour because it made the most of our day showing us so much of the lovely Loire Valley in an efficient, easy, and care-free way. I absolutely recommend this tour!

A humourous and fascinating history of the Chateaux in the Loire Valley
This experience made me want to learn more French history. Ingrid's explanation of the French monarchy and the history of the chateaux were fascinating, and at times humorous. She highlighted the most interesting aspects of each château while also giving us a primer on French history and the monarchy. We had a little free time to explore each of the chateaux and the gardens on our own. The time in the caves was also an educational experience. We learned (and tasted) so much about the wines of the Loire Valley.

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.

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.

A fabulous experience over a gorgeous area!
Do not hesitate! This was such a wonderful experience. I had initial trepidation but in the very experienced hands of Kevin and his team, I did not need to. To be travelling in the open air, so quiet & peaceful, gazing at beautiful scenery, it’s something I won’t forget and I’m so glad I did it! Thank you for a wonderful experience!

What a fun experience!...
What a fun experience! The wine tasting/pairing was definitely the best part. We learned so much from Thomas about the dynamics of wine and how different food combinations pair/change the wine. Would definitely recommend adding to your Amboise itinerary.

Chloe was an exceptional...
Chloe was an exceptional guide. With a PhD in renaissance architecture specializing in castles of the Loire Valley, her knowledge was vast. She did her best to help us stay comfortable on a very hot day and had great recommendations for other things to do in the area as well.

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.

Since the Loire Valley is world-renowned for its vineyards, it’s no surprise many Loire Valley tours offer opportunities to sample the wines produced in this beautiful region of France. The picturesque valley is also home to more than 100 private castles, so day trips to private châteax are plentiful as well. You can even take a hot-air balloon for a bird’s-eye view of the rolling hills, sprawling castles, and historic cathedrals. Other fun tours of the scenic area are via sidecar, Segway, bicycle, and four-wheeler.
