Highlights
- Chateau de Chambord - Visit the Château de Chambord. The Guide will tell you the history of the Castle and its construction. The Château de Chambord is one of the most popular castles because of its French Renaissance architecture. The building was constructed (1519–1547) by Francis I and is nowadays the biggest castle with its 440 rooms, 282 fireplaces and 84 staircases. The castle is also known because of its open double-spiral staircase. The two spirals ascend the three floors without ever meeting. Leonardo da Vinci may have designed the staircase.

What a memorable time we had! - We cannot thank Valerie enough in helping book a trip to the Loire Valley for 9 family members. She was accommodating as the number of people kept getting bigger and smaller up until the day of the trip.
Our guide Nataly made the beautiful historical sites come alive with her knowledge. She was sweet, friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable. She made the trip fun. Even thought the day was long, it didn’t seem like it at all. Because of her, the trip was light and met our family’s needs. The three fairy tale castles were absolutely gorgeous and worth the trip. They are punctual and you won’t feel rushed. The ride was clean, luxurious and comfortable. I highly recommend this company.

Excellent excursion to the Loire Valley - This was an exceptional trip and I would not hesitate to do it again especially if I could have the same wonderful tour guide. Her name was Elena. She was very knowledgeable and very pleasant to talk to. She also adjusted the tour slightly to accommodate our wishes. As For the Loire Valley It is a must see for anyone visiting France and I would recommend it highly.

Our excursion through the Loire Valley was simply spectacular. - Emily, our guide, was incredibly knowledgeable and attentive as she took us around the region's stunning castles and vineyards. We had hoped to see more places, but Emily tailored our itinerary perfectly to our preferences and the time available. The wine tasting was a highlight experience, and we learned a lot about the local wines and the history behind each castle. We were delighted with every moment of this experience and can't wait to return and explore more. Thanks to Tour Up in Europe for an unforgettable adventure in the Loire Valley!

The Inside Scoop of the French Monarchy in Loire Valley - Despite a very rainy day, I had a wonderful excursion to the Loire Valley. Elena, my guide, was exceptional. Her English was excellent and she was very knowledgeable providing helpful insight into the history of the three castles and the French monarchy. I would highly recommend this tour.

Customised experience - We were delighted to learn that this company could organize a customised experience for us. As wine lovers, we wanted to highlight this aspect of the trip. We visited 2 Loire Valley wineries, explored the vineyards, and even managed to visit 2 castles: Leonardo da Vinci's and Chenonso. We loved this tour, thank you!

Best Tour Guide for Loire Valley - This was the most enjoyable tour that we took while on our trip to France.
Valerie, our tour guide was exceptional in her knowledge and ability to communicate perfectly with us. She is a true historian and it was an incredible bonus to us to have her explain the many facts concerning each castle. Her energy, enthusiasm and lovely personality made our trip perfect!
Roman was our driver and he was a safe and considerate driver. He too, made the experience even more enjoyable with his friendly personality.
If you want the best possible tour, coupled with beauty of the region and knowledge of the history of the region..book with Valerie ,Tour up in Europe! Five stars!
