Dimitri made this tour so fun! - We really enjoyed the day with Dimitri. The guided portion of the day was well balanced with the free portion. His stories about the kings and queens were memorable especially the “crispy gossip” as he called it. He took fabulous photos of each couple in the group at each chateau which was an added bonus. He is the perfect guide… knowledge, personable and funny. Very fun day. Very convenient to get this tour from the tourism office in Tours. Highly recommended!

Superb Experience - The whole day was very interesting and informative. Sophie was a great tour guide who provided plenty of historical information and illustrations. The lunch at a private château was the icing on the cake, so to speak. Highly recommended.

5 Star day - What an amazing day for our last outing in La Loire. The pick up was easy to find and on time. We had a delightful guide: an excellant ambassadeur, very knowledgeable and an excellent driver who created a lovely rapport with the group. The chateau visit programs were a perfect blend of guided tour and free time. We appreciated our choice of tour without a meal at a private chateau in favour or more chateau time . 5 star day, highly recommended.

Required titles are stupid - Camille was a really fun, personal, and knowledgeable guide. She took care to ensure everyone understood the critical information and was patient with some of us older folks. Chenonceaux was by itself worth the price of the entire tour.

Perfect Day in the Loire Valley - On top of the historic and beautiful chateaux we toured, our guide Stephen was fantastic. He was so knowledgeable of the history behind each of the chateaux and so enthusiastic in telling us about them. And any question we had he answered with so much information and insight. It was a perfect day.

Enjoyed The Tour! - Had fantastic small group tour of Chenonceau and Chambord. It was nice having a guided tour at each place followed by time for each of us to explore on our own. Our guide Alex was superb!
