Exceptional day with nicely paid visits to the three chateaux. Good driver, and nicely paced flexible itinerary. Guide was knowledgeable and kept the whole day interesting while allowing us some time to sleep in the car as well! Highly recommended.

We booked 4 different private tours in France. This was one of the best tours. Our guide, Julian, spoke the best English, and did not have a heavy accent at all. The other tours we took were good, but I struggled a bit to understand the guides with their heavy accents. He was very informative on everything in the tour - and even while driving he would show us different things. On the way home, he even went out of his way to drive us to the front of Cheverny, where I told him I heard they still have hunting dogs. The chateaus were all beautiful and the stories about them all were very interesting. It is a long drive from Paris, and the tour was 12 hours total, which I thought was going to be exhausting. But, to my surprise, the time went by quickly and wasn't as exhausting as other shorter tours I took (maybe because 5 of those hours were sitting in the van getting to and from). I would highly recommend Julian as the tour guide and this tour from Parismatic tours

Excellent tour experience visiting the Loire Valley Castles on the VIP Private Tour. Ricardo did a fantastic job!!! He gave us personalized attention and was super flexible. Visiting these three castles on the Loire Valley Castles VIP Private Tour is a fantastic way to immerse yourself in the history, culture, and beauty of the region made perfect by our excellent tour guide.

Great day. On time pickup, easy drive. We preferred the relaxed pace, not in a big hurry. Guide was excellent. We wanted high level info, read details online as we toured the castles. My husband and I wander separately, so it's a challenge for a guide to try to keep us together. Best to give us an overview, tell us when we need to be back at the car and let us go. Our guide was astute enough to recognize that and the camaraderie we established was great. Da Vinci home, Clos Luce, is interesting to get reacquainted with the genius of Da Vinci. That said, it's reproduction so anyone expecting it to actually be Da Vinci's home should understand that it's a reproduction of his home.

The tour promised 3 chateaux i was able to see Chambord and Chenonceau but could not see Amboise this is a big let down. The tour guide was not very friendly. He rushed everything and did not show the whole palace. I feel it is a rip off for that money we paid for a family of 5.
