Too much

3.00It was too much crammed into one day. Maybe one chateau and a wine tasting would have allowed more time to really explore the chateau both with our wonderful guide, Ingrid, and also some time to explore the grounds on our own.
Fabulous French chateaux with Ingrid

5.00We had the most wonderful fun filled day with Ingrid and a fabulous family from the US who were also on our trip. Our first stop off was Chenonceau, which was just magnificent. Ingrid brought to life the history of the chateau and the men and women who fought and lusted over it. We got a huge dose of French history and some fascinating stories from Ingrid throughout the tour. The next stop was the winery and the caves for a wine tasting experience, enhanced by Francesco’s expertise, which was followed by a lovely lunch with our new friends. After lunch we headed to the next chateau, Chambord, which was even larger than the first. Again, Ingrid brought the history to life with her fabulous commentary, and fun facts. We finally refined to Amboise, with lots of restaurant recommendations, and the all important directions to the laundromat! Thanks Ingrid, you’re a lifesaver. Wish we had more tours with Ingrid but we will be off to Paris soon for other adventures. We had such a great time we are also hoping to stay in touch with our fellow tourers from the US😜
