What a memorable time we had!
Umaara H, Dec 2024
We cannot thank Valerie enough in helping book a trip to the Loire Valley for 9 family members. She was accommodating as the number of people kept getting bigger and smaller up until the day of the trip.
Our guide Nataly made the beautiful historical sites come alive with her knowledge. She was sweet, friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable. She made the trip fun. Even thought the day was long, it didn’t seem like it at all. Because of her, the trip was light and met our family’s needs. The three fairy tale castles were absolutely gorgeous and worth the trip. They are punctual and you won’t feel rushed. The ride was clean, luxurious and comfortable. I highly recommend this company.
Excellent excursion to the Loire Valley

This was an exceptional trip and I would not hesitate to do it again especially if I could have the same wonderful tour guide. Her name was Elena. She was very knowledgeable and very pleasant to talk to. She also adjusted the tour slightly to accommodate our wishes. As For the Loire Valley It is a must see for anyone visiting France and I would recommend it highly.

Despite a very rainy day, I had a wonderful excursion to the Loire Valley. Elena, my guide, was exceptional. Her English was excellent and she was very knowledgeable providing helpful insight into the history of the three castles and the French monarchy. I would highly recommend this tour.
