The chateaux are gorgeous and the bus was comfortable. We really really wanted to enjoy this tour, but we were given zero information about any of the places we visited. The tour leader didn’t seem to know anything. We had paid for audio guides but they didn’t work. Victor explained that this could ONLY be because the new technology that they just installed last month is too new for our phones. The “new technology” was a standard QR code — adopted what, 12 years ago now? — and our phones are iPhone 13 pros, 3 years old and hardly ancient. He said that nobody uses iPhones any more. He kept repeating that we are lucky because scanning is so much better than what they had been using. When we asked how to get the cost of the guides refunded, he said it has nothing to do with him because he doesn’t work for the company, and discouraged us from calling customer service because “they won’t do anything.”

I chose to take a guided tour rather than just the audio guided tour. I am so glad I did! Our guide added so much insight into the people who built and lived or stayed at the chateaus, not just the history and architectural features. The memories will last a lifetime.

The cheateaus were each very unique. Chambord was huge with a beautiful staircase. Chenonceau over the water was exquisite. Cheverny was fun with all of the Easter decor.

The trip was well organized. Chambord is most impressive for its planning, Chenonceau most beautiful and delightful, and Cheverny notable mainly for its dogs. Lots of views of Loire river and its valley, other items of interest along the route, other small chateaux along the route, and generally a beautiful drive. Points of interest were noted on bus intercom by our guide for the day. Suggestions for Paris City Vision: 1) please setup the App audiotour so the content can be downloaded ahead of time. I was constantly having trouble playing audioguide due to poor or zero cell network connection, and not all the places have a wifi available. Not sure why it is setup this way to require a network connection in order to play. 2) please open the toilet on the bus. Your excuse of "we closed it for covid" is very outdated. It is really needed on a long tour like this. The failure to reopen the toilet this long after covid is just dumb. 3) please notify ahead of time if the bus will (or will not) have power outlets for recharging devices. Now that audiotour is by App on your own iphone, it means you are going to run out of battery on a long trip like this. Our bus for Loire had no outlets. It would be nice to know that in advance. 4) please give a more accurate end/return time for planning purposes. I found that the stated return time was overstated by around an hour each time. So if their materials said 9:30pm return, we got back at about 8:30pm. This had happened on multiple PCV tours. So if you are planning dinner, you may have it way too late because you paid too careful attention the stated return time. As the time is stated now, it is basically the worst case scenario with terrible traffic, which doesn't happen very often.

I enjoyed the tour but the audio did not work well. The guide seemed nice and knowledgeable. Since it was an early start I wish we could have stopped for croissants or something.
