A huge day but worth it - We set off early on the first morning with our tour guide. Lots and lots of driving as was expected but well worth it. We had lots of time at Mount Saint Michel being guided around and then given free time. We had time for a nice lunch then back on the bus. At this point there was some confusion as to what bus we should be on as the bus we arrived on was apparently only the day trip not the overnight trip. I overheard a conversation that made me question which bus I should be on which luckily pushed us and another couple onto the correct bus. The other couple thought they’d mucked up and purchased the day excursion so were trying desperately to find accommodation. This was sorted in the end but caused a lot of grief and uncertainty. Overnight hotel was great and in a good location to walk around Angers town centre and have dinner. The next day was to the Loire valley. There’s no stop at Angers castle as you get in too late to visit. The three chateaus are beautiful and we felt we had enough time at each. Time for lunch at Chenonceaux even queuing for 30 mins still plenty of time for lunch. Long long drive back to Paris. Two big days but sore everything we wanted to. Recommend if you’re ok in a bus for a long time. One star taken off as the three guides we encounter didn’t have a great idea of what was going on. The guide around Mont Saint Michel was provided to us and she was great.

The company that does this tour is... - <p>The company that does this tour is super organized. Everything went as planned and we saw and learned a lot of cool things. </p> <p>My only complaint is with the nature of a big tour like this. There is a lot of bus travel and the time at the sites is very limited. We had to rush around after the guided parts to see anything else. The planned meals weren't that great, I would rather not have that included and instead just leave time for folks to eat on their own.<br/> The hotel was fine, the breakfast was great. </p> <p>It's really cool that they accommodate so many different languages. If you don't want to drive yourself, this is a great option.</p> <p>It's a bit pricey.</p>

I loved seeing the Mont Saint-Michel... - <p>I loved seeing the Mont Saint-Michel and the Loire Castles. Wish they would have told us ahead of time that due to the time schedule we would not be seeing the Mont Saint Michel at high tide and therefore missing it being surrounded by water. Also, because of the time schedule we felt rushed a lot. They would say there will be plenty of time at the end to take photos, but that never seemed to happen. Also, a lot of times it felt like we were huddled in a corner and told about what we were going to see and then we would rush by what we were seeing. That being said, other than renting a car, I don't see any better logistics for the trip.</p>

Lots of Time on the Bus - On day 1, the bus was an hour late arriving at departure point and then didn't leave for another hour. We had a very nice lunch and 2 hours at Mt St Michel. On day 2, we had 1.5 hours at Amboise and 2 hours at Chenonceau. Hotel was okay.
