Stop atChateau de Chambord
Chambord is the most majestic of the Châteaux you will see, boasting massive medieval towers perfectly blended with Renaissance elegance. Set in 13,000 acres of parkland this former royal residence represents the pinnacle of France’s 16th century architectural revolution, and the double helix spiral staircase at the heart of the Château, attributed to Leonardo Di Vinci is simply mind-blowing.
1 hours and 10 minutes (approx.)・Admission included
Stop atChateau Royal d'Amboise
Amboise, with its spectacular view over the Loire, is famous for being the last resting place of one of history’s most famous men: Leonardo Da Vinci and with its massive gothic defensive features it evokes that bygone era of knights on horseback.
1 hour (approx.)・Admission included
Stop atChateau de Chenonceau
Chenonceau, above all stands out as the most beautiful of the Châteaux of the Loire as it extends with infinite grace over the waters of the river Cher. With its ornately carved decoration and history of romance and rivalry, this Château lives up to its passionate reputation and has been seducing visitors for hundreds of years.

Wonderful excursion.
Vito_C, Dec 2024
1. our driver and guide Fabrice was terrific. Got us to the valley quickly. talked along the way.
he was the best part of the trip!
2. this was a wonderful experience. getting to the valley was a treat and we could not have done this on our own without a guide and driver. So, while it seems expensive there was a lot involved in getting to, around and back. I am happy we got the experience.
3. would recommend this to anyone.
4. there was some confusion regarding pickup site. the pickup is close to the Arc, not on Champs. be careful.

Ricardo was an experienced driver and knowledgeable about the Liore Valley.
I don’t have more to say about the trip.

We had a great day. It was an amazing day, lots of history. Nice lunch at a local restaurant. It was a small group, comfortable travel to and from Paris. Lots of walking.
Excellent Experience

Excellent experience. Our guide was excellent and super knowledgeable. Really enjoyed being able to stroll and experience by ourselves, too. This was well worth doing.
Loire Castles

The experience was very good. The trip to the castles is wonderful. However, it would have been better to have a guided tour or at least audio guides (all were sold out). The driver gave us a 5 minute explanation before arriving to each castle but that was not enough.
On the way back the traffic was terrible and the driving was not smooth at all. The AC on the van was not always working well.
