Bait and switch - We booked the tour because it sounded like a lot of fun in a sidecar with the opportunity to see some chateaux and visit Chambord. The sidecar ride was great but without telling us the tour owner decided to change the itinerary and take us to Tours and for a wine tasting instead. When we asked when we were going to see the chateaux he told us that our tour was done and he had decided that we would enjoy Tours more. I told him that he should have given us a choice since we paid for a visit to the chateaux and now we would be leaving without seeing them. He continued to say that what we saw was better. That was not his decision to make. If you sign up for this tour make sure you are going to get what you paid for. This was pure and simply a bait and switch. The sidecar ride was great and the second driver Francisois was great. Fred, the owner was unapologetic and didn’t care at all that he did not provide the tour that we paid for.
