5.00Raphael, our guide, was fantastic. She was very knowledgeable about the history of the monarchy and of the castles. She was very pleasant and friendly. The wine tasting and the lunch, both included, were fantastic. We would definitely take this tour again.

5.00Great tour of two famous chateau's with a great lunch and wine tasting dropped into the middle. Nicolas was a wonderful tour guide and it was a great experience to have with our newly-adult kids. The wine tasting is *not* an experience that's well suited for young children so if you're with your kids, pick a different option.
Great Day Out

5.00Really good tour and great guide. We did Chenonceau and Chambord Castles and definitely two good choices. Plus an amazing lunch at a winery in between. But since those two castles are so far apart, I wish we had more time to wander around the gardens of each castle so that felt a little rushed. But that was pretty minor compared to the information and really cool stuff we learned about. Did I mention the amazing lunch?
Highly recommend this tour and our guide Jean George!!

5.00Amazing day with our guide Jean George. This was our best day in France. So much to do in one day and Jean George gave a great tour. So much good information. We can’t wait to come back. One of my favorite Viator tours ever!
Excellent Tour

5.00We had a private tour of two Châteaux: Chambord and Chenonceau with lunch in between. That was interesting since it was in the caves of a local winery and the lights went out after we sat down. A little daylight and many candles rectified the situation although it was still a bit dim. The owners were very nice, however. The actual tours were very good; our guide Nicolas (not quite sure of the spelling), was marvelous. He is personable and extremely knowledgeable about the chateaux and the surrounding area. We highly recommend him.
