Take this day trip immediately! - This tour was by far the highlight of my trip to Paris! A beautiful day visiting enchanting castles, learning about history, and tasting wines from the region - with the best guide imaginable. Sara was absolute perfection as our guide: her brilliance about the history of the region, each castle, and France in general shone brightly the entire day. I also made a new good friend in another group member. I could not be more emphatic in recommending this day trip. Please select this particular tour as opposed to one of the larger group trips from other companies, which visit fewer castles. The personalized attention and small group experience of this particular tour made it even more special.

Great day tour to Loire Valley - It’s a fantastic day tour from Paris to Loire Valley by Philip. It was a heavy schedule starting from 7am covering 3 castles. I’m amazed by Philip’s passion and energy - the day tour was well paced and very enjoyable! Thank you for making it memorable. Kids loved it too

A wonderful day! - This was probably one of my favorite tours we went on during my time in France. Everything about it was wonderful. The guide was knowledgeable and easy to talk to and seemed very interested in the subject matter, which made it even more fun to listen to the information she presented. And the châteaux! Chenonceau was my favorite for all of its history and picturesque beauty. Amboise was the perfect stop for lunch with delicious food options and a wonderful wine tasting. And Chambord was just stunning to walk around and just really see the immense size of it along with the beautiful architecture. Thinking back over the tour, I honestly can't think of anything I would change. It felt like we had plenty of time at every location (though there was definitely more we could have seen if we'd had longer, but it didn't feel rushed at all) and I was very happy with the way the day went. This is one tour I would highly recommend!

Excellent trip outside Paris - Your explicit directions to the meeting point were very helpful. Can you please add the name of our guide Mattui ? Our experience on the 3 castle tour in the Loire Valley was fantastic! Starting early at 7:00 AM and returning at 8:00 PM, we had a full day of exploration. The guide's preparation and knowledge enhanced our visit, making the long drive enjoyable, especially in rainy conditions. The castles included iconic sites like Chambord and Chenonceau, known for their stunning architecture and rich history and also a wine tasting. Our guide was also very knowledgeable in wines, amazing Our guide provided a deep dive into French heritage, making it a memorable way to experience this beautiful region. Be prepared it is a very long day, We can’t say enough how great a driver our guide was, we felt secure throughout the trip.

Worth the day! - It was a wonderful trip! Victor was a wonderful guide for the day, offering a lot of history and interesting facts. He was also a great driver—lots of traffic and rain coming back into Paris, and felt so safe. An added surprise on the trip was that the chateaux were decorated for the holidays. Such a treat to see that! I also appreciate the lunch recommendations Victor gave me in Amboise. A delicious lunch!

Great intro to the Loire region - Loved our guide, Nicolas. He was rather thoughtful (I was pregnant and he kept checking in with me and brought out a stool to help me get out to the van). Long day but made enjoyable by both our visits (our guide started us off with walking us to the castles, giving us some info and recommendations on what to focus on with time available and then free time at each location). All three chateaus were different and interesting. Nice way to get an intro to the region if you don’t have time for multiple days or don’t want to get a car and do it on your own.
