Worth the money! - This tour was the most expensive part of our visit to France but it was worth it. Our guide, Camille, was friendly and knowledgeable. We loved the ease of access to the chateaus, the mix of tour and free time, and the delicious lunch at the private chateau. The two main chateaus were beautiful and the wedding collection at the private chateau was a personal highlight. It was definitely worth the money. Don't hesitate, go ahead and book the Loire Valley Day Tour.

Do the A La Francaise tour ! - The Loire Valley and the beautiful Chateaux are not to be missed. France is a beautiful country but this area is indeed special. It was very clear that our guide, Dimitri loved and was proud of this region. He shared so many interesting stories about the chateaux and the characters who built them and lived in them. The lunch at Villesavin was charming and the wine was delicious. It was a splendid tour and a lovely day!

Magical Day in the Loire Valley - During a girls trip to France last week, we spent a magical day in The Loire Valley with our A la Francaise and guide Marion! Marion expertly guided us through the incredible Loire Valley with tours of Chateau Chambord and
CHÂTEAU DE CHENONCEAU. We stopped for the most incredible lunch at a favorite restaurant of A la Francaise and it far exceed our expectation. Our day was pure magic from start to finish.

Great day trip with an excellent guide - What a great day with our guide Marion. She took the time to ensure we all had a wonderful time visiting all the beautiful Chateaus. The private lunch at a castle was an extra special event and should not be missed.

Excellent Tour - Camille, our guide and driver was so pleasant. She did an excellent job of providing information about the Chateaus we visited and the areas we traveled through. The luncheon at the private chateau was a delightful experience where we enjoyed the best quiche.

Chambord was my favorite. - I particularly liked Chambord for its views and lovely building, Chenonceau was too big for my tastes. The guide was extremely nice and spoke with correct grammar and vocabulary, but her English accent was so incorrect that she was extremely difficult to understand. Lovely person however

SCAM AND FRAUD - TOOK MY $500 - This operator took $500 without me experiencing the tour. All Verizon customers lost cellular service the day before my tour and I was not able to go to the tour as a result. The operator til this day has not reached out to me, even the day of the tour they did not call or text, WhatsApp or use the Viator app, to contact me at the very least to say “are you on your way?” They just took my $500 without reaching out to me. DO NOT BOOK WITH THIS TOUR COMPANY THEY ARE A SCAM AND FRAUDULENT.
