Excellent way to get out of the city and into the countryside. We visited 3 chateaus, of course chambord was the most beautiful and indulgent. It also allowed for the most wandering. The bus ride was easy. was able to sleep on the coach with no issue. We went into a village by one of the chateaus to have lunch... this was my wifes favorite thing we did in france. We didn't opt for the audio tour thing, we just did it all on our own. The guide knew her stuff and the driver was very professional.

Our tour guide was knowledgeable and made the day enjoyable. She easily handled our tour in English and Spanish. We learned a lot from her during the bus ride even though we chose the self guided option while at the chateaus. If I only had time for one castle, I would choose Chateau de Chenonceau because of the decor.

We just did it on our own. Got the ear pieces. The female tour guide on the bus was just too cheap to share her commentaries on the bus. She just whispered on those who got the guided tour. Too bad, we are 9 BIG TIPPERS.. Huge mistake. HUGE!

I misread the voucher due to differences in how European dates are printed versus American, so I thought our tour was 10/ 23. The guide for another tour told us we missed yesterday's tour but we might be able to get a refund. When the reminder message was sent Saturday I was on the Eiffel tower so I could not read it, and forgot about it later. Very sad.
