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.

A great taste of the Loire Valley - We had a great time. The chateau were all amazing. Augustine was a great guide. He gave us lots of information about the region and the history of each chateau. Time at each location is limited, but we fit as much as was possible into a 12 hour trip. I highly recommend.

Loire Valley day trip - highly recommend! - Fantastic day tour of three Chateaux in Loire Valley. Our driver/guide Julia was knowledgeable and let us have ample time to explore at each stop. We skipped the wine tasting in Amboise and had a delicious three course lunch at Chez Bruno that was recommended by Julia. One of the best meals of our trip! Everything was well organized from start to finish. Pickup spot was easy to find and we left on time and got back as scheduled.

Loved it - Wonderful driver and tour; everything ran smoothly. It’s a great tour with lots of information and a lovely guide who provides information first and then allows you to explore the castles yourself in your own time.

You better make sure the metro is running - Apparently there are restricted metros during Veterans Day, unbeknownst to us. When the metro stopped, many stops passed where we needed to be, we couldn’t make it to the meeting point until 40 minutes later. We called the company to let them know what was going on. No one returned our call. We contacted Viator but they couldn’t help. We were refused a refund. Needless to say, we are very disappointed because we were unable to go on this much anticipated tour.
