Fantastic Castles and Wine
sarahpresley, Dec 2024
Olga was a great guide. She was very knowledgeable about all of the castles and was able to give us information we wouldn’t have know if we didn’t have a guide. We really enjoyed the trip one tasting and sent a few boxes home. I would recommend this trip to anyone looking to see castles in the Louire Valley
Castles and Wine

A very enjoyable day! Our guide Olga led us through three very different castles and told us the history and stories behind them all. A stop at a winery that has been in the same family since 1508 was fabulous! Olga was a perfect guide for the day- she even left us with a silly selfie on our phone when she used it to take photos of us at the top of a castle. I would highly recommend this tour!
A great and informative tour
BARBARA_M, Dec 2024
Our guide, Helen, and our driver, Alex, took great care to see to it that we were able to get as much out of our visit as possible, considering that they had to slow down their pace to accommodate our old legs, knees, ankles, etc. Helen was incredibly knowledgeable about French history as it applies to the chateaux that we visited. She was also personable and very easy to talk with and ask questions of. Alex was ready when we needed him to be. We would recommend this tour to anyone wanting to know more about the chateaux of the Loire Valley than a standard group tour can provide.
Magnificent experience to learn about history and culture with wine tasting
Camper39605723788, Dec 2024
Our guide Valentin extended the magnificent experience by navigating the tour leveraging his knowledge nurtured through his academic background of studying history and his experience as professional ballet dancer, surely adding more depth in explaining on transition of French monarchy and its cultural impacts in association with the sites we visited.
The excursion to 3 castles under May Loire weather was beyond description, which experience was magnified by the wine tasting experience providing the opportunity to enjoy Loire wine produced by the local winery. We ended up with buying 3 bottles on site while also asking for future shipment after return as the quality and the reasonable price surely would justify paying extra shipping cost.
We cannot thank Valentin and the driver more for our very memorable and fabulous experience!
Fantastic Day Trip!

What a fantastic day we had! Our driver was polite, efficient, and got us everywhere safely. Our guide Elena was lovely. She messaged me the night before (make sure you have WhatsApp) and they arrived right on time to pick us up in the morning. Elena walked us through each castle and gave great historical context for everything. She took many great pictures of us along the way. We were able to see so much in one day! We never felt rushed but were able to keep on schedule to see everything. The order of the castles is perfect and Amboise was lovely for lunch. Elena asked us what we wanted to eat then took us straight to the restaurant and got a table for us. The winery tour was very neat as well. Overall, well worth booking!
The car was very comfortable and bottled water was provided. They even had umbrellas for us to use and we had forgotten ours. Merci beaucoup!
