Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Chateau de Chenonceau, 37150 Chenonceaux France

The first castle
which you visit is Chateau de Chennonceau, it is one of the oldest and most beautiful
castles in the France that is today only surpassed by the might of the famous Versailles in
Paris. From the moment it was created, beauty and unique style of the castle that was built
over the river Cher attracted royalty and nobles from all around the Europe. Have an
audio-guided experience in this castle and explore the past on your own!

Duration: 1 hour

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

After tasty
lunch head to your next destination which would be the famous chateau Chambord
Chambord is a radically unique work, one of the jewels in the heritage of humankind. Its
vocation is at once symbolic, aesthetic and spiritual. It is not only an affirmation of royal
power, but also an evocation of the ideal city; as a monument, it remains an enigma that
has yet to divulge all its secrets. Chambord is perhaps the equivalent in architecture of
Mona Lisa in painting. The royal hunting lodge Chateau de Chambord was started in 1519

by the Valois King Francis I. It was favoured by kings fond of hunting such as Henry II and
Louis XIV.

My trip was awesome! Our tour guide Sebastian was just impeccable! He was so knowledgeable and informative! He was also very kind and funny. He definitely helped my family and I understand more about France and it’s history. The tour itself was spectacular! The castles were so incredibly beautiful and interesting to learn about. Our lunch was out of this world amazing and I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone! And personally I would ask for our guide Sebastian again!

The Loire Valley was a truly magical experience. We visited few castles such as Château de Chambord, Château de Chenonceau, and the historical one Château d'Amboise. The villages were charming and picture-perfect, and I was able to enjoy the local cuisine and wine. I would highly recommend this day trip to anyone looking for a taste of French history and culture.

We booked this tour for our honeymoon out of Paris. We had Sebastian for our tour. He took use to 2 castles Chamboard and Amboise. Plus a winery with a tour of their cave and tasting. An amazing 5 course lunch at a hotel that also had a cave. We had extra time so we stopped at another wine room before heading back to Paris. I would recommend this tour if you like castles and wine. Loire valley is beautiful.

We booked this tour for our honeymoon in Paris. What an amazing experience! We had Sebastian as our tour guide. It ended up just being the 2 of us. We got a private tour for a great price. We went to 2 amazing castles in the Loire valley. Chamboard and Amboise. A very good wine tasting and a tour of the cave in the winery. We went to another wine room since we had more time after the Amboise castle as a bonus. We stopped for a 5 course lunch at a beautiful hotel. It was the best food we had on our trip. Plus a cave to tour on the property. Sebastian was great he really customized the tour to do what we were interested in. I would definitely recommend this tour.
