Efficient but rushed
abobo73, Dec 2024
It was overall a lovely but rushed day. This is not really the fault of the tour company per se; but honestly, due to the drive time involved in getting to and back from the Chateaus, the actual time left to spend at the Chateaus felt very rushed. This is definitely more of an "introduction" type of experience due to the limited time. We did not get to see all the gardnes on the properties as had to rush to catch the van back. For those with limited time and no car, it's a great way to get a taste of the Chateaus. If you really want to explore and enjoy the gardens in a more in-depth, leisurely fashion, I can see why doing it on your own is probably the way to go.
Must experience the French chateaus
Jessica_D, Dec 2024
We were lucky to get Marion as our guide. She was knowledgeable about Chambord and Chenenceau. We enjoyed seeing th chateaus, learning about their histories, and having her share points of interests with us. It was one of the most memorable experiences on our family trip to France.

No better way to see two famous and one less famous Chateaux’s
Urosmith, Dec 2024
Marion did a super job of explaining just enough history of both the politics and architecture of the times represented to bring it all together. Links between the 3 Chateaux’s were cleverly exposed which makes the learning much more fun. Plenty of time to see sights after the explanation of each. I say plenty of time, but really I would need hours at each location to see and photograph all I would normally want to, so I have to be reasonable. Would definitely take a tour with her again.

Interesting and enjoyable trip largely due to Alex, our personable and informed guide, an unrushed and varied itinerary and a great lunch.

great castle tour
MiriamLocher, Dec 2024
It was a wonderful day trip that worked smoothly. Camille was a great driver, as well as a friendly and knowledgeable guide to the castles. If you want a hassle free day, I highly recommend it.
