5.00This was the highlight of our trip to Paris. Cedric was passionate and knowledgeable about wines and making sure we were well taken care of. Chambord castle was beautiful and I loved being able to go inside! The two wineries were amazing with plenty of wine flowing and the ancient caves were fantastic. Lunch was so delicious and plentiful at the winery on the beautiful grounds. Everything was well worth the price and the day excursion! I highly recommend!
Beautiful Day in the Loire Valley

5.00Cedric was our guide and he was simply the best! If anyone is looking to get out of the city for the day, look no further. We were picked up at our hotel and arrived at Chateau Chambord just as it opened and beat the crowds, we then enjoyed sipping wine in the Chambord vineyards and looking at the adorable goats. From there, we went to a small family winery and enjoyed a homemade lunch in their cellar paired with their wines and ended our day at another family winery. Cedric is professional, kind and genuinely wants everyone to have a great time and is very knowledgeable about wine, France and any other questions you may have. The tour is about 12 hrs from start to drop off, if I had one piece of feedback it would be to provide or pack a rechargeable phone charger just as the day is long. There were many opportunities to great photo spots that you will want to show everyone! We loved this tour and day out of the city and would recommend to anyone!

5.00It is a good ride from Paris to the Loire Valley. You have maybe 1 1/2 to visit the castle and grounds which isn't a lot. View from up top is beautiful. Bredif Winery was interesting. Your lunch is a genuine French meal cheeses, different types of fish, meats and pate plus wine bread and creme brulee for dessert. If you are a big eater bring a snack. The 2nd winery Alcacia had presses from the 16th century.
