Fabulous trip - We really loved this tour, showed some glorious highlights and the castles were exceptional. Plenty of time to eat lunch too, which is always appreciated.

Castle Small Group Trip - an Amazing Experience - Our small group tour of the Loire Valley, with visits to Chambord, Chenonceau and DaVinci castles, lunch in Amboise and a visit to a winery was beyond amazing! Our tour guide, Ilia, and his driver made the perfect duo for a worry-free and enjoyable ride through the Loire Valley. This tour is a MUST do, for all travelers to Paris. Ilia, our guide, was very knowledgeable and informative, and ready to answer any and all questions we had. Of special note, one member of our party required extra assistance and use of a wheelchair. Ilia went above and beyond and pushed the wheelchair on all types of terrain, to ensure our comfort and enjoyment throughout the trip, We were so grateful for his genuine kindness and his enthusiasm when speaking about the history surrounding the region. As a side note, we had left some items in the Mercedes van, and Ilia went out of his way to return them to our hotel the following day. Ilia and his driver were first-class and we HIGHLY recommend this experience.

Perfect tour! - Perfect day! This tour was fabulous! Valerie was our tour guide and Roman was our driver. They were both excellent and made sure our day went smoothly. Valerie gave us great historic insight on each place we visited and Roman made sure we stayed on track time wise to get to 3 beautiful estates. I would highly recommend as we could not have gotten as thorough of a tour on our own. A beautiful way to spend the day!

Great history and beautiful castles - - Lovely and interesting castles - more history from the tour guide would be helpful - the hotel selections you pick up from needs to be reviewed. The address of the pick up location was not the hotel indicated. Luckily we made a “dry run” the evening prior to the tour and discovered this. We contacted the tour operator and they picked us up at our hotel. If we had not verified the day prior to the trip we would have gone to the address indicated on our ticket and missed the tour.

Good way to spend only a day in the Loire - A good day - long travel time so bring a book or podcast!! This is a "do it yourself" type of tour, but we enjoyed that. Communication about pick up and times at the places could have been better, but it was a lot to pack in!

Too much for one day! - This was a really long day as these castles are really far out of town and far from each other. That then necessitated that we didn't have much time for exploring and just enjoying the experience. The guide that was provided was informative, but unfortunately the environment and ways he had to whisper to share information did not allow our teens to feel included.

Nice castles, nice driver, not a great tour - The castles were wonderful and the new method of using tablets for self guided touring was great. Our driver was very nice, but was not knowledgeable at all of the castles were visited and actually seemed to be there for the first time. There were also communication issues with the tour company and the driver and we were on the trip with a different tour so missed one of the things we had booked (Clos Luce).
