Great day at Villandry, Azay le Rideau and wineries
941tavit, Jun 2024
The guided tour exceeded my expectations because, in addition to the presentation of the history of the two castles, with an emphasis on Azay le Rideau castle, our guide, Sophie, knew how to keep the conversation alive in the minibus, between locations, presenting a lot of information, from past and present, about the places we passed by. My travel companions (we were 5 in the minibus), helped the conversation a lot, asking interesting questions to which Sophie answered prompty and humorously.
The wine tasting at Vouvray, 7 sortiments, was preceded by a guided tour of the cave, led by a member of the family that owns the place, guide the explained the entire production process from grapes harvesting to the actual wine.
It turned out to be a marvelous day for me for which I am grateful to my vivacious travel companions and, especially, to Sophie, which was the perfect guide.

Great day of château and wine

Sophie was an incredibly knowledgeable and entertaining guide who brought Château Azay le Rideau to life, and provided not only interesting background to Villandry but the Loire Valley in general. After a very interesting wine tour in Vouvray, we were treated to a bonus wine tour in Amboise. Both were entertaining and the wine tasting generous. Overall a wonderful day. Thank you Sophie!

Loire Valley Small Group Tour
jhessler2, Apr 2024
Our tour began in Amboise near to our hotel. We were coming off a week long river cruise that we thoroughly enjoyed. However we were “peopled out.” The cruise required constant interaction with a group of 160 people.
This tour was small. Just us and three wonderful companions. This allowed everyone breathing room to see the sights as they would like. Our guide Alex (and her sidekick Steve) were always there to answer any questions. The tour included several stunning chateau’s and a unique cave wine tour. Alex’s knowledge and input helped make this tour come to life for our history deficient minds. This was a tour well worth the price.
