In general, the tour was extraordinary; the Loire valley beautiful, the castles, towns and history really interesting and the restaurants and wineries excellent. The guide was an important part of the success of the tour: experienced, with knowledge in history, wine, restaurants.... On the personal side, he is amenable and always giving the best service and help.

Seeing the chateaux’s as well as Davinci’s last home was spectacular. But the unexpected pleasant surprise was having Luc Bonhomme as our host for two days. He goes the extra mile to make sure you have the experience of a lifetime. Highly recommend this tour and Luc!

This was our first trip to France and after spending 3 days in Paris, we wanted to explore the beautiful French valleys. Luc was our private tour guide, picked us up from the train station and drove us to the troglodyte. The troglodyte was an amazing experience, very clean and it was a blast to sleep in a cave. Luc drove us to 4 different chateaus, and we dined at delicious restaurants. We had an excellent time with Luc, very personable, professional and full of knowledge. We feel we have made a lifelong friend with Luc. We plan on returning to Loire Valley and Luc in the near future and bringing out friends from USA with us.
