5.00We had a wonderful half day tour with Chloe, our guide and driver. She was very enthusiastic and passionate about architecture. She offered us extra time so we could get some lunch after visiting the gardens at Villandry.

Horrible Tour Agency - Don't book

1.00Horrible experience. The people of this company show no empathy or regard for the client. The experience with the customer team was terrible and ruined my whole day. We have to incur in additional costs to make it to this tour partially and the team made a mistake and didn't wanted to recognize it. I will never recommend this company to anybody
Fun and Informative Tour

5.00Our tour guide Garnet was excellent. She was informative, funny, and personable. The half day tour was also the perfect amount of time as it allowed us to see a chateau and gardens in the morning while giving us time to add our own items later in the day. Highly recommend!
