The "luxury" coach has very small, close seats, not enough room to put your tray down if the person in front of you lays back, limited air control, no place on the seat back to keep items. Our guide was very pleasant and worked hard unfortunately her strong accent made it hard to understand her English. If English were my second language I would have really struggled to understand. Cheverny seemed to be an add-on but was our favorite.

The bus was comfortable, but cold. Don't hesitate to say something. All the Châteaus were very interesting. No lunch is provided, but the second stop at Chenonceau has a very good cafeteria. The third Château de Cherverny is beautiful but should be given more time. Make sure you check out the dogs. One comment about the guide. She was very nice and enthusiastic, but spoke to fast. She spoke two or three languages, which is impressive, but flew through each one.
Nina did great. Good time management, clarity, illustrated us about very interesting things at all times. Watch for

The bus ride outside of Paris is long, but the scenery was pretty and the castles were very interesting.

We knew we had a full day trip from Paris to see castles in the Loire Valley. What we didn't know was that we'd be crowded into a bus with less than coach-plane-seat space and no toilet. We were hours between stops and the experience was uncomfortable. They put many language speakers together, so every announcement was made multiple times. And finally, our guide was not a fluent English speaker. Understanding the French history associated with the area and castles from her was almost impossible most of the time.
Great service
