Breathtaking Chateaus & Great Guide - This was an amazing excursion for anyone visiting France or Paris for the first time. We wanted to experience some of France's countryside, and this experience checked all boxes. We had a wonderful tour guide, Sebastian, who ended up doing a private tour for my husband and I. We visited two breathtaking chateaus, which includes tasty lunch and wine tasting. Sebastian was very knowledgeable of the wine making process which made the experience a lot better. I'd highly recommend this trip if you're looking for something to do outside of the busy Paris attractions.

A tour worth the money and time - We visit France enough to know what these tours are like. But this was exceptional. Pick up was prompt and easy. The travel between the places we visited was really nice and seemed like we never backtracked. The castles were the usual but the two wineries were more interesting than usual with interesting wine selections. Would recommend taking he lunch option because unlike other tours this was at a very nice non touristy restaurant at a high end property. It also helped to have a wonderful guide who has a lot of interesting knowledge about the region. Was very personable and open to questions. The tour is worth every dollar we spent on it and more. Will be reaching out again to this company for additional tours.

Great day in the Loire Valley - We had such a great day on this tour. Our guide Sebastian made the whole tour fun, informative, and seamless. Sebastian really went out of his way to make it a great day for me and my partner. He included multiple stops, taught us so much about the area we were in and each venue we visited. His French is also great and made it easy getting around, as he could speak to all the locals and shop owners. Sebastian went out of the way to show us the sites and really went the extra mile to make our experience great. Would highly recommend this tour.

Great Experience! - Fantastic tour! As a solo traveler, it was great to have a guide that was engaging, knowledgeable and patient when I had questions or wanted to stop for many photo ops of the scenery, castles, churches and more. Lunch was excellent and the wine tasting was a nice addition.

Sebastian is the best at what a tour guide should be. - It was great right from the pick up.
Sebastian was a great tour guide.
The 2.5 hour drive to the Loire Valley seemed short due to great conversation with Sebastian about each other and History about Paris. He made sure we were comfortable and even stopped so we could get coffee and use the toilet when needed. Sebastian has great communication skills and made the experience easy and enjoyable. The whole trip from pick up to drop off was 13 hours.
Even though it was a long day we had a great time and never realized how long it really was. By the end of the trip we felt like we have known Sebastian
Like a friend we came to visit.
Sebastian driving skills and concern for safety is second to none. He always made sure we were buckled up and stay the speed limit on the highways . The traffic is crazy in Paris with cars and scooters cutting in front of us but Sebastian let us know that he is always aware of the traffic and our safety is important to him.
I must say, Sebastian was everything he sad he was. There wasn’t one time during the trip where I was nervous about the traffic. Sebastian also takes great pictures.
He has experience in this and made a lot of great suggestions on spots to take photos of my wife and I.
Sebastian made us feel like it was important to him to enjoy ourselves on the trip and tour. Not just because it was his job as a tour guide. Because it was important him as a person. He takes his job very seriously and is very knowledgeable about Paris and everything it has to offer.
The next time we come to Paris we will Definitely take another tour with Sebastian. He is a great tour guide and a kind and caring person.
Thanks again Sebastian for a great and memorable experience.

Perfect getaway! - Despite the cold weather the tour went really smoothly, castles are somewhat cold but that’s to be expected so make sure to dress accordingly if you are visiting during the cold season. The lunch was great in a beautiful cave which did warm us up as there is a massive fireplace in the middle! Wine tasting was great as well we loved the family owned estate. Would recommend it to everyone who wants to enjoy a similar experience.

Would not recommend - Be careful of the bait and switch. We were given a completely different and lesser itinerary than what we signed up and paid for. Our tour guide barely spoke to us at all even when asked where we were going since it was off the itinerary. There was barely a wine tasting at all so don’t be deceived by the title of the tour. It is hard to tell who even runs the tour because they are all resold on different sites…ours was purchased through Viator tours but apparently provided by GoGo tours. We reached out to customer service and were not even given a response to our concerns and disappointment.
