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.

This was a great way to make the most of a day in the Loire Valley. Our guide , Chloe, was fun and very informed, ( she is finishing a PHD in art history this summer) . It was seamless and there was no waiting. You visit the most iconic castles hassle free in a small group_ 7 total in our group.

Alex was an exceptional guide, her knowledge and description of the sites we visited came from a passion that was infectious. We came away with so much more than a visit to 2 Chateaus.
