5.00Guide was punctual, attentive, and informative. He helped us avoid some of the crowds because especially Chenonceau is super busy over Bastille Day weekend.

5.00Charline took us out on a tour of most magnificent Loire châteaux. She is an excellent driver and very knowledgeable about the places we visited and the local history. We had both French- and English-speakers in our group and she able to accommodate both equally well. I heartily recommend her for any trips you might want to take in the Tours area.

5.00It was a nice small group tour. Our driver and guide Charlene tried her best to make this day memorable for everyone. It is enough time for both guided tour and free time in Chenonceau. I enjoyed this chateau very much. Chambord is too large, but you could get a general vibe/ impression. Lunch stop for 1 hr in Amboise was an additional bonus as some went for a long lunch, whereas others managed to fit either visit to Royal Castle or home of Leonardo Da Vinci.
Best two castles of Loire Valley

5.00Both castles are magnificent both exterior and interior. The time allowed is enough to see all the highlights. The tour guide Ilya was excellent in explaining the details and also with his patience and humor. We enjoyed the comfort of the van, also the little change of not stopping at a town for lunch, which meant we had more time visiting the castles.
Had a wonderful day,...

5.00Had a wonderful day, small group was definitely the best way to enjoy the experience. Ilia was a great guide, pleasant and informative. Both chateaux were beautiful and we had plenty of free time to explore and to have lunch.
