Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Chateau Royal d'Amboise, Montee de l'Emir Abd El Kader Montée de l'Emir Abd-el-Kader, 37400, Amboise France

After departing Paris in the morning, enjoy a spacious, luxury ride to the first stop of the day, Chateau Royal d'Amboise. The royal château is famous for being the last resting place of Leonardo da Vinci.

French royalty resided at Amboise from the 15th to the 19th century, and with its spectacular view over the Loire River, Saint Hubert Chapel, and Gothic architectural details, you can easily imagine knights galloping off into the distance as you breathe in fresh air from impressive vantage points.

Duration: 1 hour

Pass By: Le Chateau du Clos Luce - Parc Leonardo da Vinci, 2 rue du clos Luce, 37400, Amboise France

Near Amboise, there will be a quick stop for pictures at Clos Lucé, which used to be the official residence of Leonardo da Vinci, between 1516 and 1519.


Stop At: Chateau de Chenonceau, 37150 Chenonceaux France

Next is a real jewel of a château, and the most famous of the Loire region: Chenonceau with its magnificent gardens.

Chenonceau is a unique castle, situated above the Cher river, that is also known as “Chateau des dames.” It’s a beautiful mixture between Gothic and Renaissance styles with ornateness that one might only imagine seeing in fairy tale books. Next to Versailles, this is the most visited castle in France.

Walks of the grounds reveal a dizzying labyrinth, and a tour of the interior with your private expert guide might take you to the chapel, Francoise I's drawing room, and the gallery over the bridge

Duration: 2 hours

Stop At: Chateau de Chambord, le Chateau, 41250, Chambord France

In the afternoon, you will finally discover Chambord, a grandiose château. Set on 13,000 acres of parkland, this former royal residence represents the pinnacle of France’s 16th-century architectural revolution, and the double helix spiral staircase at the heart of the
château, attributed to Leonardo da Vinci, is simply mind-blowing.

Great day. On time pickup, easy drive. We preferred the relaxed pace, not in a big hurry. Guide was excellent. We wanted high level info, read details online as we toured the castles. My husband and I wander separately, so it's a challenge for a guide to try to keep us together. Best to give us an overview, tell us when we need to be back at the car and let us go. Our guide was astute enough to recognize that and the camaraderie we established was great. Da Vinci home, Clos Luce, is interesting to get reacquainted with the genius of Da Vinci. That said, it's reproduction so anyone expecting it to actually be Da Vinci's home should understand that it's a reproduction of his home.

The tour promised 3 chateaux i was able to see Chambord and Chenonceau but could not see Amboise this is a big let down. The tour guide was not very friendly. He rushed everything and did not show the whole palace. I feel it is a rip off for that money we paid for a family of 5.

We really enjoyed our day and it went very smoothly. Our guide was knowledgeable and gave us some time on our own to explore and have lunch. What you are really paying for is private transportation and entry tickets with some guide assistance.
