Great Chateau Tour - Excellent experience with a small group. Matthew was the driver guide. He was a safe driver and extremely knowledgeable guide. I learned so much about the history of French kings and their chateau. Be prepared for a long, but fascinating day.

A delightful day in the Loire - I had a delightful day on Blue Fox's Loire Valley tour. Our guide, Karim, was very knowledgeable and had a fantastic sense of humour. As a solo traveller, I particularly appreciated his ability to ensure all members of the group felt included and build a sense of camaraderie amongst strangers. Aside from Karim's professionalism, I thought the tour itself was very well-planned. It was a full schedule, but I never felt rushed. I'm very much looking forward to my next tour with Blue Fox.

Best Loire Valley castle tour - My tour guide was very knowledgeable about all the sites, the best points of view during the visit, and also shared a lot about the history of each site and the region on the road between each. The day was packed with beautiful spaces and also time to relax and enjoy food/drink during the day. They cover the best chateaux in the region. Highly recommend!

Very informative and entertaining tour - Although just three castles, it still makes for a full day. If you go in December, wear warm jackets. the castles are relatively cold. Our guide, Will was excellent and knew a lot about the history of each castle.

Great day outside of Paris - Great tour. Especially liked seeing the castles decorated for Christmas. Matthew, the guide, was passionate about the history of the castles. The stories he shared brought life to the buildings. And the best part, the tour of each castle ends in the gift shop - who would have thought! Highly recommend this tour.
