Loire Valley tour - Our guide, Dimitri, was great. Didn't get bogged down with lots of details but explained things in a way that made it completely understandable. The 3 stops were different enough to be interesting. Lunch was great.

Michelob - Full day of riding and walking. Many steps to climb in chateaux. It was a wonderful experience to see them. Having someone drive and be your guide so you could relax was great.

A Terrific Tour - Marion was our guide. She was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the times and the chateaux. Between stops, she kept up a running dialog so we were never bored. Over lunch, she initiated an conversation between everyone on the tour giving us a chance to get to know something about each other. The two hours spent at each stop was perfect for us. For the two chateaux we toured, Marion gave us the history and took us through the major parts of each. Then we were given close to an hour to explore other areas on our on. For us, this split was ideal. Lunch was delicious but simple. I heard no complaints and we certainly had none. Seeing a small, privately owned chateau with a limited income stream was an interesting comparison against the other two. I highly recommend this tour and Marion as a guide.
