Wonderful Chateaux tour and must do - An idyllic day in the countryside and woods of Loire Valley. The two chateau were out of a storybook. Each has its own story and beauty. Be prepared for a good deal of walking and exploring. Our guide Charlene was very nice and knew a great deal about each place we visited. A little bonus was exploring Amboise and seeing resting place of Leonardo Da Vinci. If you’re staying in Tours this is a fantastic day trip.

Wonderful day out - Wonderful day out with a small group with the delightful Flora as our guide. She was unassuming, very knowledgeable and so warm and friendly. It was an absolute joy to spend the day with her. This was a well paced tour and I never felt rushed - great balance between guided tour and free time. Would definitely use this tour company again for further touring when in France.

Lovely day despite the heat - Flore was a fabulous driver guide. She was prompt knowledgeable with great attention and followup. We had an hour of formal presentation followed by an hour to explore on our own. In between chateaus we had lunch in a quaint town. Highly recommend

Wonderful day trip with Ophorus Tours to Chenonceau and Chambord - Ophorus was very responsive to my questions before booking, and our guide Flore was fantastic—knowledgeable, enthusiastic about the region, and a very safe driver. The other family didn’t show, so we ended up with a private tour. We could have used about 30 more minutes at Chenonceau, but had plenty of time at Chambord. Loved our simple picnic lunch from a local boulangerie by the Cher River and the scenic backroads drive instead of major highways. The schedule allowed extra time in Tours both before and after the châteaux to explore the market and medieval district with its beautiful half-timbered houses. Overall, the tour felt well organized, and we would happily book with Ophorus and Flore again.

Fun Day at the Chateaus - Our tour guide Charline was great. She was funny and personable, and was well versed in the history of both locations. She made our visits to Chenonceau and Chambord Castles with a quick lunch stop at Amboise special. And we lucked out as this ended up being a private tour! Highly recommend.

Fairytale Chateaus - This experience was truely out of this world. I felt I had stepped into a fairy tale. Our guide Charline could not have done more to incorporate our needs and ensure we saw the highlights of each chateau. She worked hard to ensure the day was amazing. Merci beaucoup Charline
