Must experience the French chateaus - We were lucky to get Marion as our guide. She was knowledgeable about Chambord and Chenenceau. We enjoyed seeing th chateaus, learning about their histories, and having her share points of interests with us. It was one of the most memorable experiences on our family trip to France.

No better way to see two famous and one less famous Chateaux’s - Marion did a super job of explaining just enough history of both the politics and architecture of the times represented to bring it all together. Links between the 3 Chateaux’s were cleverly exposed which makes the learning much more fun. Plenty of time to see sights after the explanation of each. I say plenty of time, but really I would need hours at each location to see and photograph all I would normally want to, so I have to be reasonable. Would definitely take a tour with her again.

Loire Valley Tour - Interesting and enjoyable trip largely due to Alex, our personable and informed guide, an unrushed and varied itinerary and a great lunch.

great castle tour - It was a wonderful day trip that worked smoothly. Camille was a great driver, as well as a friendly and knowledgeable guide to the castles. If you want a hassle free day, I highly recommend it.

Such a fun way to learn history and never forget it! - Marion was excellent! She was on time, knowledgeable, funny and kind. I so enjoyed how she tied the history of the chateaus (and how they were built) to the Kings, Queens and mistresses … and then intertwined the history of Chenonceau to that of Chambord. She gave great recommendations for food and knew the surprises and secrets along the way.

Wonderful tour!! - We loved this tour! The van was very comfortable and we needed up being the only ones on the tour that day so it ended up being a private tour by chance. Marion was a wonderful guide! We learned so much and were shown amazing views of each Chateau and had enough free time to wander around on our own. Would absolutely recommend!!

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!
