Chateau de Chenonceau

Chateau de Chambord

After tasty lunch head to your next destination which would be the famous chateau Chambord Chambord is a radically unique work, one of the jewels in the heritage of humankind. Its vocation is at once symbolic, aesthetic and spiritual. It is not only an affirmation of royal power, but also an evocation of the ideal city; as a monument, it remains an enigma that has yet to divulge all its secrets. Chambord is perhaps the equivalent in architecture of Mona Lisa in painting. The royal hunting lodge Chateau de Chambord was started in 1519 by the Valois King Francis I. It was favoured by kings fond of hunting such as Henry II and Louis XIV.

    Sebastian was great! The tour exceeded our expectations. Sebastian was knowledgeable, personable and very accommodating. The castle tours were super fun but Sebastian 's private winery tours were THE BEST PART! He really made the day special. Lunch was AMAZING . I highly recommend this tour and would absolutely do it again!

    Sebastian was wonderful. He personalized the experience for my husband and I - even made a stop along the way and took amazing photos of us in a sunflower field. The lunch was exceptional, and castles grand. I can't recommend it enough - especially with Sebastian as your tour guide. You won't be disappointed.

    We enjoyed the castles very much and the lunch was great. The wine tasting was a little underwhelming. I was expecting a bit more information and it just wasn’t like other tastings I’ve been on. Also, the van was a little warm.

    The guide drives for you and covers stuff outside and along the way. Inside each you are on your own with history-pads that walk you through. The flexibility depending on the group is great as we had a private experience and saw a castle not listed with the tomb of divinci.

  • Lovely Day Trip!

    Lovely experience in the Loire Valley. Tomer was our guide and he took great care of our group. We toured 2 chateaus - Chambord and Blois, had a delicious lunch, and tasted wines at a winery. The towns we drove through were very quaint and we also enjoyed the company and chats during the long drive.
