Chloe is a well-versed interesting tour guide. For those wishing to undertake this tour, I suggest, for the enjoyment of all, that you get back to the van on time after the first Chateaux. On our tour some were very late affecting our time and enjoyment of the second Chateaux.

Lots of uneven walking and stairs. Guide very knowledgeable but difficult to understand. Was conversing a lot in French with one guest ignoring the others Also long breaks seemed unnecessary
Outstanding & worth every penny!

The tour was wonderful! Our guide, Dimitri was amazing! He was fun and so knowledgeable about the castles and all along the route to each place. He pointed things out along the way and shared so much interesting information. We had a great time and would recommend this tour to anyone hoping to enjoy the castles in an easy convenient way.
