CAUTION high cost low yield!

Booked this 6 castle with wine tasting experience thinking there was a wine tasting with each castle. The two castles visited the first day were lovely. The wine tasting portion of the trip was actually 1 vineyard on day 2. We shared our confusion with driver Cyrus and he quickly booked two wine tastings venues the first day. The hotel was comfortable but not luxurious. The second day of the trip two additional wine tasting and one castle were visited. The driver and guide on day 2 were friendly but not an experienced tour guide as described. We expected a roomy van with adjustable seats not a small Mercedes sedan with no adjustable seats and limited leg room. Be careful when booking, this is a high cost trip. Recommend checking the details first. Clewel is the travel agency with offices in Paris and Riga Latvia that fulfilled this booking via Viatar booking from TripAdvisor site. READ recent reviews. Wish we had.

Two ladies 70+ y.o., wine lovers, instead of booking one of Wine or Champagne tours have booked in fact this cultural Castles sightseeings trip obviously without reading our step by step itinerary by Viator. These two ladies were served by our comfortable Mercedes Benz E-Class car (Business class). As the ladies realised that it was a Castles visiting tour they were disappointed. They asked me in the late afternoon to remake the itinerary if possible. It was quite difficult but we managed it. The first day we visited 2 castles + made 3 wine tastings at 3 different places: by the local wine producer Pere August 7 wines, by Chenonceau Castle 3 wines and the longest and best wine tasting which lasted 1 hour 15 minutes was made by Chateau de Montdomaine. The owner showed them around making all the explanations with 5 wine tastings. Both ladies were exited about this visit. This day lasted for me 2 hours longer as per our description. Both ladies repeated several times during the trip that they appreciated our flexibility changing the program according to their wishes. Afterwards they were brought by me to the 4 Stars Chateau Bellmontre with rating close to 10. For the second day we made a special itinerary with 2 winery visits and one castle visit. The updated program was designed upon the customers wish in the evening of the first day. The first stop in the morning was by a small family winery surrounded by the vineyards. The second winery was Clos de la Richadiere. It was a high quality winery visit with wine tastings and snacks. So many snacks that they skept the Lunch afterwards. This visit lasted by this Wine House 1 hour 40 minutes. They bought many things there showing that they liked it. Afterwards they were brought by Mercedes E class (Business class) car to Chaumont castle. Afterwards they were brought to Paris and dropped off at their hotel. We did all the services. We changed the itinerary according their wish. The costs are quite high because they were only two, by 4 people the price is about half of the rate for 2 people. When we have big families with 5 or 6 people it is quite cheap. After this trip the customers tried to get money back for this trip and were refused. So they wrote two ! 2 stars rating (bad).

Horrible experience! The tour guide who accompanied us in the van was inexpeirenced, read from an iphone and was just beginning. The owner who met us at each site was extremely knowledgable &informative but only spent 30 - 45 minutes with us at each venue...he didn't accompany us in the van during 2 days travelling . VIATOR was unresponsive to our inquires prior to the trip. They requested we speak to the sub-contractor for all inquiries.

Terrible people. Terrible review. I don't know why terrible people right terrible reviews starting with the word Horrible. But Horrible was to put the note Terrible after you 4 people were served by our Mercedes minivan within two days visiting all sights. You have got all the informations about the castles, we provided you a 4 star Château-hotel instead if 3 stars hotel, reserved for you dinners and lunches and updated the program on the second day due to your wishes. Terrible is the note you gave yourself :) Horrible.
Wonderful personal guided tour of the valley

Overall a wonderful and personal experience. They picked us up at our hotel and drove us to 3 different locations each day, including wine tasting on the first day. The host was very knowledgeable and taught us a lot during our trip. Everything was set up for us and he has a great relationship with the winery for the tasting and tour. It can be a little rushed at times, but they will work with you on what you want to spend more time on than others, the only restraint being the closing times of the castles. Thank you very much!
