⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐« A prefect day spent discovering these amazing castles. Everything was spot on. The coach was brand new, comfortable and air conditioned. Our guide Remy very knowledgable and polite was introducing the history of the castles before arriving in the coach. We enjoyed being given the freedom to spend our visit as we wished. Everything was well paced, although sometimes a little bit rushed- but of course that's the compromise to make when 3 castles are in the program! » - Eva A
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐« I really liked how open, nice and caring the guide was. Very interesting tour, very good time management. Very convenient meeting point. Amazing experience! » - Tatiana
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐« Our guide/driver Nicolas was great - very knowledgeable and a safe driver. We had the perfect amount of time to spend in each castle. It makes for a long day of visiting so make sure you are rested and dressed for a lot of walking. » - iLOVEsp
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐« Great to travel with a small group. Remy was great guide and helped us navigate long line-up during a long weekend. He provide interesting information about the three amazing and quite different chateaux we visited. Wow, the architecture, size of 'hunting lodges' and gardens were great. Thanks Remy » - Katherine
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐« We had a wonderful day in the Loire Valley with Jean-Baptiste, a very warm and knowledgeable guide. the three chateaux were magnificent, each worth a visit and just beautiful in their individual way. it was a long day but well structured with time for breaks between the visits. » - Robyn
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐« We took the van tour, not the bus tour. Van accommodated up to 8 people and ours only had 6 so that was nice. Would not have wanted 8 because then two would have to sit upfront with driver. We had a great tour guide, Serge, who is very knowledgeable and great personality. Saw 3 chateaux which was plenty for the day. Had enough time to see each. Wine tasting at the end was a little weak. » - Karen K
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐« The trip was fantastically interesting! A lot was covered and the subject was most interesting. Just needed a little longer on first morning break for a more relaxed coffee as we started so early! Loved it . Serge made trip for us as he personally remembered our names and made many good jokes! He made our trip! » - Heidi
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐« Thank you so much for letting me join the Loire Valley châteaux tour! Gabriel, the driver and guide, was extremely kind to me even though I was travelling alone, which made the trip truly enjoyable. The driving was safe and reassuring. The two couples with us were also lovely, and I am really glad I chose this service. Thank you again! » - Kanami
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐« This was one of my favourite day trips from Paris and the Chateau de Chenonceau has been on my bucket list for a very long time! It's quite a long day, so be prepared and bring something to eat and drink as the bus ride is approx 2-3 hours one way. Nevertheless, we went on a very hot day in September and absolutely loved all the stops, as well as the countryside along the way! Chenonceau and Chambord is absolutely worth the drive, Cheverny is quite small but still very interesting. » - Bernice
