A great tour - Marco the driver was fabulous! Goran the tour guide was good too. Bus was very comfortable and had A/C!! A good pace, could have spent more time at each place, but then the tour would have been too long. A nice day to spend when in Paris

Our guides were great! - A wonderful way to spend the day in the French countryside. Our guides Jim and Saeed were so knowledgeable and personable and helpful. I'm not a history buff, but they made it all so interesting. Like listening to stories before bedtime. I highly recommend this tour.

Lovely day in the Loire valley - The weather was great, our tour guides were amazing and we're giving us detailed information about the history of the chateaux. The bus was comfortable and air-conditioned. The only (kind of) downside one might pick is that the sommelier

A wonderful and full of information day - An interesting day, with beautiful and historic places. Ideal for an overview as we do not have a lot of time in each place. Raymond and Telma are very great and experienced guides, what made all the things better. If you have more time and is really fun of History , it would be nice to do this journey in two days. Thank you Raymond and Telma for the wonderful day

Glad we did this tour - I was a little leery about the length of this trip with my family. Kids are 15 and 11 however I think it was a very good tour. You get to see a lot of French countryside and small villages while on the bus but can also take a nap if needed. The tour stops at two must see French castles also a quaint little town. Unfortunately, we didn’t get much time in the town because anytime you do a large people are late to the bus and ended up costing us time in the town. We had a wine tasting at one of the castles, which was better than I had anticipated. While, I have found a lot of the tours pretty pricey that we have taken in Paris. I thought this one was decent deal for the money. our tour guide Saeed was great

Relaxing Day Trip with Short Time at Chateaux - This was a fun day trip out of Paris with the chance to see two gorgeous chateaux in the Loire Valley, Chambord and Chenonceau. A historic overview was given on the bus, which was funny and informative. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to have a relaxing day seeing the French countryside, glancing at some chateaux, and sipping wine. We, unfortunately, wanted the chance to delve deeper into the history at each location, closely look at each of the rooms, wander the grounds, and see any other buildings on site. These visits were far too short for that. Most of our time was spent on the bus since the Loire Valley is so far from Paris. Tickets were not purchased ahead of time so we lost time at each site waiting for entrance. There was no guided tour inside the chateaux, so we were left with the information we got on the bus. Ultimately, this was a great day trip, but maybe not the best match for us.
