5.00Chloe was an exceptional guide. With a PhD in renaissance architecture specializing in castles of the Loire Valley, her knowledge was vast. She did her best to help us stay comfortable on a very hot day and had great recommendations for other things to do in the area as well.
Chloe a well-versed and interesting tour guide

5.00Chloe 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.

4.00Lots 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!
