Very nice day trip to the Loire! - Lucy was a very informative guide during our tour of the Loire. She knew the area well and provided a lot of interesting stories about the sites. The trip was very organized and we saw everything as intended. Keep in mind it is a long day. Over 13 hours. Nevertheless, Lucy kept our small group entertained.

Amazing day! - We had the most amazing day visiting the Loire Valley with Mathieu! He was so great making sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. His intro at each castle was a great overview and he was so knowledgeable about the history of each site. We hit a lot of traffic heading out of town, but he kept us up to date on the planned schedule for the day, so we did not stress. The pace overall was good. I highly recommend spending the day with him and Blue Fox Travel. He recommended 3 options for lunch in Ambrose, and I highly recommend the option with galettes. Delicious! My only recommendation would be providing a WhatsApp number in the link that is sent the day before. We had a lot of road closures in the morning due to the upcoming festival and had no way to get in touch when running 5 mins late. Other tours often provide a contact number which is helpful. Thanks!

Beautiful day in the Loire Valley! - Very fun day with our tour guide, Serena! The castles were pretty and we each liked a different one best. Serena was thoughtful, well-informed, and a great tour guide. Communication beforehand was great and easy to get to the meeting point. We would recommend this trip to others!

The Loire chateaux and... - The Loire chateaux and wine tasting tour was great value for price. It lasted 12 hours from door to door, and we visited three gorgeous chateaux and a quaint wine shop for the tasting. We had a very nice and knowledgeable guide, Enzo, to introduce us to the history of each castle, and we also had time to explore them on our own. The van was comfortable and spacious; it was not as if we were packed in a can of sardines.

Incredible experience visiting 3 Loire Valley castles! - Tim was an incredible tour guide and driver! He added facts and fun to our event! We 100% recommend this day trip. Plenty of breaks built in for drinks and rest stops. You have the freedom to explore as much as wanted at each castle.

Wonderful! - Wonderful experience with Matthew! The day was very hot (late June) but he found shade to stop to share information, had good photo suggestions, and allowed time to purchase water and sorbet. The van was very clean and had air conditioning. I would recommend the Viator website allowing the selection for children (Viator website only had adult selection) due to the wine tasting component as there was no juice, etc. and we paid extra for the tasting. Still 5 stars!
