Amazing tour guide Olga

5.00Olga is a wonderful tour guide her attention to detail is impeccable. She pointed out details regarding coins with Diana De Poitiers’ image on them that I never would have found out about. Her enthusiasm and knowledge made the day unforgettable. Things I was amazed at: we passed through tiny villages with ancient Tudor style buildings, fields of sunflowers, she pointed out the past cafes that served food quickly in Amboise. She pointed out important details at the castle where Leonardo Da Vinci is buried. The mini van was equipped with bottled water. We visited an amazing vineyard underground in caves that shipped wine to the USA. Olga was not only gifted in her knowledge of the history of the three castles, she helped us decide which features to prioritize seeing. French don’t have Venmo accounts so bring cash for tips.
Great tour

5.00We had a wonderful experience on the Private 3 Loire Castles Live Guided Tour with Wine Tasting from Paris. Our guide, Olga, was incredibly well-versed and passionate about the history and architecture of the Loire Valley. She brought the stories of the castles to life with insight and enthusiasm. What stood out most was her attentiveness and empathy. It was an unusually hot day, and my daughter wasn’t feeling her best. Olga immediately noticed and kindly accommodated our request to shorten the tour without making us feel rushed or like we were missing out. That level of care made a big difference and allowed us to still enjoy the highlights comfortably. The wine tasting was a lovely and a highlight of our day—well chosen and informative. Highly recommend this tour, especially with Olga as your guide!

5.00My wife and I had a wonderful experience on this all day tour. Our guide David, who spoke English quite well, provided us with a wealth of interesting information about the areas we drove thru and the castles that we visited. Each castle we visited was more beautiful as we walked thru them. David was very enjoyable as a guide and he took the time to take us to the best photo opertunitys and even took many photos of the two of us. Our driver Roman, was an excellent driver. He smoothly drove us thru the traffic in Paris and out to each of the castles that we visited. He was very courteous and opened and closed the passenger doors for us. On our return to Paris, Roman found a quick path back to our hotel, even though the was a Taxi strike going on in Paris. Both my wife and I were very pleased with our experience and we would both recommend this tour to anyone that we know. Great job!
Awesome Tour!
