Spring break chateau visit - Great history background on the castles from our tour guide. Appreciated the opportunity to explore independently in both chateaus and over lunch

5 starry stars - Very interesting tour to discover the Loire Valley. The guide, Ray, is very helpful and easygoung, he takes the time to explain everything, even the funny facts. The schedule allows to visit the two main castles. It only is a pity that the free time in Blois is not enough to both have lunch and visit the city or the castle and the museum, but still this keeps the curiosity alive to be back another time.
Highly recommended.

Great experience! - Very enjoyable day trip! The two castles we saw were straight out of a fairy tale, awesome to see in person. Our guides were also great and provided a very helpful history on the bus ride. We had our 10 and 15 year old with us, as well, and they also really enjoyed it. Very special experience to see these castles in person! Definitely recommend the experience!

Beautiful castles, itinerary can be improved - The two castles we visited are beautiful and worth the visit; the tour guide was also friendly, professional, and provided valuable insights. On the other hand, the itinerary could be improved. We stopped for a coffee break that I think is unnecessary, which took time away from our first castle visit. Then, after the first castle, we stopped again for lunch in a town called Blois, which is nice, but the focus was supposed to be on visiting castles, not towns. This also took a lot of time away from our second castle visit. While I understand it is hard to plan a full day’s itinerary, I think it can be improved to allow more time for the tour’s subject: the castles
