  The trip would have been wonderful, Fabrice was a pleasant guide and the castles amazing. However, on the way back, around Orleans, we got a flat tire. You know how it’s said that challenges make people (and companies) show their true colors. We asked if it would be possible to wait (for the car to be repaired) in the service area (not for another car to take us to Paris); instead, we’ve got a rude response and we were told to climb in the tow truck, the 3 of us, including my 88 year old father, and after a horribly uncomfortable trip we had to wait over 1h on the side of a country road (no water, chairs, empathy). After paying $1,800 for the trip, this was hard to comprehend. On the way back, we passed the same service area. Not sure if the company and Fabrice put the comfort and safety of their clients above their short-sighted interests. Considering other options may be advisable.

  Wonderful itinerary and overall great experience. Our driver was so nice, the vehicle was roomy, the destinations were amazing, and the knowledge our guide had was the perfect amount of info for the duration we had at each castle. Not too much or too in depth, but plenty of facts and things to point out. I highly recommend this tour if you want to experience the Loire Valley in a day without a tour bus and 50 other people. This was perfect.

  Our guide was also our driver so he was with us the entire day. We really enjoyed this tour as it capped off a great week of exploring Paris and surrounding areas.

  Exceptional day with nicely paid visits to the three chateaux. Good driver, and nicely paced flexible itinerary. Guide was knowledgeable and kept the whole day interesting while allowing us some time to sleep in the car as well! Highly recommended.

  We booked 4 different private tours in France. This was one of the best tours. Our guide, Julian, spoke the best English, and did not have a heavy accent at all. The other tours we took were good, but I struggled a bit to understand the guides with their heavy accents. He was very informative on everything in the tour - and even while driving he would show us different things. On the way home, he even went out of his way to drive us to the front of Cheverny, where I told him I heard they still have hunting dogs. The chateaus were all beautiful and the stories about them all were very interesting. It is a long drive from Paris, and the tour was 12 hours total, which I thought was going to be exhausting. But, to my surprise, the time went by quickly and wasn't as exhausting as other shorter tours I took (maybe because 5 of those hours were sitting in the van getting to and from). I would highly recommend Julian as the tour guide and this tour from Parismatic tours
