My wife and I totally enjoyed this Loire Valley chateau and wineries tour. Out tour guide, Cami, was beyond excellent. She provided a wealth of information while driving us to the different attractions.
This is an outstanding tour and definitely one to consider.

Dimitry was a fantastic guide for 2 Chateaux, gardens and 2 wine tastings. Very knowledgeable, pleasant and offered up many insights about the area, French culture and wine. We had a great day and met some other nice travelers in our group. A must do when you visit the Loire.

We booked this tour at the last minute after our other tour was cancelled at the last minute and we were not disappointed. Dimitri was great! He gave us a lot of historical information but then gave us plenty of time to explore on our own. He was very friendly and had tons of energy and enthusiasm.

Top value tour for a tight schedule. The best chateaux to visit nearby Tours.
Our guide, Daphné, was extremely knowledgeable about the chateaux and wineries, highlighting all the interesting points along the day.
She also surprised us with a picnic during the visit to Château de L'Islette and even helped with booking a fantastic dinner back in town.
Fully recommended.

Small group tour, so very customizable. For instance, at Villandry we wanted to spend more time in the gardens and less in the castle. Gorgeous picturesque picnic lunch at a private little charming - and surprising - chateau I wouldn't have found on my own. Spent the afternoon in wine heaven tasting the variety of styles produced in Vouvray. I am a solo traveler and found this a superb introduction to this area of the Loire.
