Visit with the Dimitri Guide - Our Guide welcomed us kindly with his comments and punctuality. We want to keep a good memory of this excursion. If he did not answer our questions, he had the humility to say so and not to make up answers. I recommend this excursion if we only have a few days to spend in the lure.

Great way to get history in while leaving the driving to others - Great way to absorb the magnificent history of these castles and leave the driving to others. Very nice lunch at Chateau de Villesavin in the French country tradition. Highly recommend this English version tour if you only have a few days to explore the Loire. Get the most visits for your time!

Book the tour, it was an amazing experience! - This was a highlight of our trip to the Loire valley. The castles were spectacular, the lunch was authentic and delicious. Camille, our tour guide, was so fantastic. She was knowledgeable and fun, and had so many fun stories to tell about the families behind the castles. We are not typically tour people, but this might have converted us.
