5.00The Loire chateaux and wine tasting tour was great value for price. It lasted 12 hours from door to door, and we visited three gorgeous chateaux and a quaint wine shop for the tasting. We had a very nice and knowledgeable guide, Enzo, to introduce us to the history of each castle, and we also had time to explore them on our own. The van was comfortable and spacious; it was not as if we were packed in a can of sardines.
