Book this wonderful tour!! - We had a truly wonderful time with Dimitri as our guide. He has so much knowledge of the history of the chateaus and area and communicates it in such a pleasant way. He is so professional, and fun and takes the time to ensure all members of the small group are engaged. This made for a great dynamic. The scenery on the route is gorgeous and he stopped to point out various significant places. The chateaus are amazing and the lunch was very special. We loved the whole day! Thank you Dimitri! This tour is highly recommended!

Book this tour ASAP!!! - We had the most fabulous tour today with Dimitri as our guide. His knowledge of the chateaus and history of the area was imparted in the most pleasant manner. He is incredibly friendly and accommodating and ensures everyone has the best experience. We loved our day touring the magnificent chateaus and the luncheon was so special. He took time to point out other points of interest along the way and answered all questions. He works hard to make sure each member of the group is involved and as a result the dynamic was great! He’s a careful driver as well. Thank you so much Dimitri! We would highly recommend this very special tour to anyone lucky enough to visit this gorgeous area of France.

Great way to see chateaux - We had a wonderful time on this tour. Our guide Camille was bubbly and knowledgable, making us feel right at home. The chateaux were gorgeous and we learned a lot. Something we appreciated about this day trip is that when visiting each chateau, the first half is a guided tour, and the second half you can explore on your own. That felt like the best of both worlds. Our van had 8 total people but was comfortable. We had a blast and would highly recommend this tour to others.

Great time in the Loire - It was exactly what we wanted in our Loire experience. The time spent was well worth the money and our guide Marion was first class. She was very knowledgeable and explained things clearly.

It is a long day. The... - It is a long day. The guide gives you a bit of time on your own to wonder around. May have been nice to have a little guidance on where to spend time as one could spend most of the day in one place
