Three castles for a princess - We went on a tour from 1 libourne Paris. We left at 7 AM and arrived about two hours later in Chambord. Majestic! Then to Chennonceau, for me cutest, with its gardens to which we devote more time than inside. Then Cheverny, more modern. Next time I'd go to Blois by car, the next day I'd go to the castles on our own. To reach to enjoy without the pressure of time

Informative and fantastic! - Our tour guide Alex was very knowledgeable and friendly. I had been to these chateaux years before and learned many new things from her. I highly recommend you take this tour for good insights into each chateau and their colorful history.

Seeing is believing - Highly suggested, amazing and fascinating experience!! Our guide Chloe was an endless source of knowledge, plenty of insights on the road (always useful for future trips) and obviously around the castles..just a pity the visits were a bit rushed compared to the amount of things to see and enjoy..overall a 10/10 for me

Noble Escapades - Our tour was great with knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide, timely departure and return, clean van, clear instructions and recommendations, and a great group of fellow travelers. Chambord and Chenonceau were good choices for only seeing two chateaus. Chenonceau is well kept and furnished, Chambord is more an airy spectacle. This tour allows for about two hours at Chenonceau and one hour at Chambord given the driving distance.

Chloe was an exceptional... - Chloe was an exceptional guide. With a PhD in renaissance architecture specializing in castles of the Loire Valley, her knowledge was vast. She did her best to help us stay comfortable on a very hot day and had great recommendations for other things to do in the area as well.

An unforgettable Loire Valley experience - I had the absolute pleasure of spending a day exploring the Loire Valley with Camille as my guide, and it was truly one of the highlights of my trip to France. Her storytelling brought the châteaux to life, and she shared fascinating details I would have never discovered on my own. Thank you Camille!! 😊

Chloe a well-versed and interesting tour guide - Chloe is a well-versed interesting tour guide. For those wishing to undertake this tour, I suggest, for the enjoyment of all, that you get back to the van on time after the first Chateaux. On our tour some were very late affecting our time and enjoyment of the second Chateaux.

Chenonceau and Chambord - Lots of uneven walking and stairs. Guide very knowledgeable but difficult to understand. Was conversing a lot in French with one guest ignoring the others Also long breaks seemed unnecessary
