3 Chateaux in 1 Day Your Way - Impressed they could fit the trip to 3 chateaux in a single trip. It’s a self- guided tour with audio. You can spend your time in each chateau your own way.

Three castles in one day!! - First and foremost, we would like to thank Anna for a fantastic day! She is an incredible guide and we were so fortunate to have had her. She did a beautiful job keeping us well informed and on track for a packed day. All 3 castles were awesome and so different! We enjoyed the adventure- it was a great way to spend the day of New Years Eve! Thank you again to Anna and our great driver!!

Easy way to see Loire Castles - This was an easy way to see three castles in one day. It was a long day, but after researching various ways to visit, including renting a car, taking a train and staying in hotels etc, this ended up being very efficient. At this time of year, November, the bus was only had full so there was plenty of room. There are three guide levels to choose from: no explanations, a limited audio guide downloaded to your phone, and provided earbuds and receivers for guided tours from the two tour guides on board who spoke French, Spanish and English. Cheverny did not provide written information pamphlets to groups like ours, which was disappointing. This tour is time-limited; that is, you could spend much more time at each of these locations exploring the history and art more in depth or the gardens and out buildings, kennels, chapels, etc. But because of the distances between castles this tour is a very efficient and comfortable way to visit these castles.

Three Châteaus in the Loire Valley - The bus was comfortable, but cold. Don't hesitate to say something. All the Châteaus were very interesting. No lunch is provided, but the second stop at Chenonceau has a very good cafeteria. The third Château de Cherverny is beautiful but should be given more time. Make sure you check out the dogs.
One comment about the guide. She was very nice and enthusiastic, but spoke to fast. She spoke two or three languages, which is impressive, but flew through each one.

OK trip - The "luxury" coach has very small, close seats, not enough room to put your tray down if the person in front of you lays back, limited air control, no place on the seat back to keep items. Our guide was very pleasant and worked hard unfortunately her strong accent made it hard to understand her English. If English were my second language I would have really struggled to understand. Cheverny seemed to be an add-on but was our favorite.

Long Day for 3 Castles - We knew we had a full day trip from Paris to see castles in the Loire Valley. What we didn't know was that we'd be crowded into a bus with less than coach-plane-seat space and no toilet. We were hours between stops and the experience was uncomfortable.
They put many language speakers together, so every announcement was made multiple times.
And finally, our guide was not a fluent English speaker. Understanding the French history associated with the area and castles from her was almost impossible most of the time.
