Don't ponder, enjoy the wonder of this Loire Valley Tour! - The three castles on the Loire Valley tour were quite interesting to see and to learn about. Our guide, Ifi, was very astute in the knowledge of French history and related all the details with great finesse while weaving the facts and folklore to help us understand what was happening in that period. Ifi, provided the details of the trip, all the stops and times we would have for each stop and left nothing in the dark about anything. She guarded the group like a good shepherd and made sure no one was left behind. The driver seemed to navigate effortlessly all through our adventure, so kudos to him! When the tour was done, we were dropped off at the site where we were picked up, unlike a previous tour with another company that dropped everyone off at a different stop in a totally different part of the city in Ireland without informing us about it. Which caused some calamity as no one expected that. That's not cool. I would recommend taking this tour! It was fun learning of the history, exploring the castles, relaxing in the immaculate gardens of each castle and just appreciating the fact that we were occupying the same space as royalty except at a different place in time.

Great Loire experience - Goran and Yasmin were great tour guides. We did a tour of two Loire Valley châteaus. They were both very knowledgeable, kind and patient. We look forward to more tours with them.

Great full day excursion from Paris - Great full day tour that gives a different feel from Paris. Multiple sites of interest explored including a chateau with a wine tasting experience. Gorgeous views and Raymond was a great guide filling in with history and important notes along the way. Some beautiful photo opportunities as well, we would not hesitate to book again.

Excellent visit to the chateau of the Loire valley - Wonderful tour with Raymond as our guide. Very knowledgeable and managed time well! Sites were beautiful and I highly recommend this tour if you would like to visit the chateau of the Loire valley.

Loire Valley Chateaus Beauty and fun! - Tour was so fun,Raymond our tour guide was knowledgeable, personable, authentic and fun! A two thumbs up, would recommend!! Chateaus were lovely, Raymond provided a good educational background prior to arrival at chateaus, made it all more meaningful

Must See Places! - Raymond was a great guide throughout our trip. It was a packed 12 hour day, but worth it and we got to see a lot. The chateau de Chenonceau was the highlight of our day!

Great speedy tour - Raymond was great! Made learning about history fun and funny. Enjoyed this tour. Quick stops with just enough time to get a glimpse. Great if you want a quick read of places to return to one day.

Great one day trek from Paris. - Beautiful castles. Evi and Daniel were knowledgeable and friendly and kept the tour on time. Could have used more time at Chambord and less at the rest stops.

Long Trip But Worth It - Our guide (Goran) was very knowledgeable about the history of the area. We got a lot of good pictures and really enjoyed the architecture of the castles. The ride was also very comfortable to and from the sights. If you go on a weekend and especially a Sunday tour lunch options will be extremely limited when you stop. Also, I think this trip was too busy - the castles were nice but a little more time at each would have allowed for more exploring. It also didn’t help that customers weren’t on time returning to the bus but that’s not on the guide. All in we were happy with the trip but keep in mind if you do this it will be a very long day.

Better next time - The chateaus were amazing but if we had to do it again, we wouldn’t go on a guided tour. We would go for several days and go independently at our speed. We were seniors and moved Slower than the rest of the group and we realized the guide had to stay on time but we missed out on a lot of information. The wine tasting was disappointing…really rushed. Also only having 1.5-2 hours at each chateau including the distance to/from the bus felt rushed as well. Gorman had some valuable information he did share on the bus. My recommendation would select excursions carefully depending on your age or mobility issues before committing.
