This was a very full and...

Lori_C, Jun 2025

This was a very full and slightly long day but we saw so much! It was really wonderful. Our guide, Daniel, and driver, Alex, were excellent.

Best concierge and guided tours of three of the best Loire Valley chateaus!

Kevin_B, Jun 2025

First, the tour company had great communication through Viator messages several days out and the day before our trip - makes everything easier. Second, this trip was FANTASTIC! It is a long day excursion, but well worth it (plan for 12 hours). Marie (our wonderful guide) and Alex (our intrepid driver) picked us up from our hotel in the 15th near Trocadero at 7:30 a.m. in a roomy and new E Class Mercedes sedan. We were then quickly headed out of Paris with Marie previewing our trip and providing details on the first chateau, Chambord. Once we arrived, Marie coordinated entry and gave a thorough but swift tour, with as much time as we could afford to keep the itinerary. She took pictures of us in great spots and suggested where those would be along the way while educating us on the castle. (She was very accommodating with taking pics everywhere during our trip). Then she and Alex took us to Amboise where we had lunch reservations ready for us in an excellent bistro. She and Alex joined us for a quick lunch at our invitation and were great company throughout the trip. Afterwards, Marie gave us a full tour of Chateau Amboise, which was like Chambord, also a palace of the French Kings. The history at Amboise was deep and Marie knew everything about the castle and it many residents over the years. We needed the tour of Amboise by visiting the gardens and chapel, with Leonardo DaVinci’s tomb. We then were off to Chenonceau, which was spectacular. Weather was just cool enough to allow for being able to walk the large grounds and have a full tour of the castle without getting warm, so we were really able to enjoy everything about the estate. Finally, we headed off to a Loire Valley winery where we were afforded ample tastings and picked up some wonderful whites and roses, along with a little time to refresh before the drive back to Paris. Those who want to have more time to explore each chateau or wander the Valley area may want to ask the tour company for only a two castle tour, but for us, we would not have wanted to miss any of them. Just means we have more to explore when we return. Marie and Alex were among the best guides and drivers we had in Paris! We enjoyed our time with them, and they also allowed us time to talk quietly in the back and nap along the trips out and back to Paris. Really, great tour and company - will only use them again for our excursions in France.

Castles were interesting....

Andrew_N, May 2025

Castles were interesting. The guide wasn't very knowledgeable. We nice person but wasn't really providing any useful information (basically reading off google). The wine tasting was standing at the bar of a small winery and not at all what was expected for the cost of the trip. I would look at other tour companies for the price of this trip.

Great tour but ruined by tour guide - don't go near Maria

David_W, Apr 2025

Beautiful chateaux and Loire Valley. Maria our supposedly English speaking guide had poor English and history knowkedge, she was googling as we approached. Her commentary conflicted with signs posted in chateaux. She cared more about her 1 hour lunch break than our needs. Great tour but don't ever go with Maria!

Excellent excursion to the Loire Valley

Eric_H, Jul 2024

This was an exceptional trip and I would not hesitate to do it again especially if I could have the same wonderful tour guide. Her name was Elena. She was very knowledgeable and very pleasant to talk to. She also adjusted the tour slightly to accommodate our wishes. As For the Loire Valley It is a must see for anyone visiting France and I would recommend it highly.

Espectacular!!!!
