Loiretal Wein- & Schlosstour ab Paris mit Verkostung & Abholung

Sebastien was friendly, attentive and very informative. He wanted to make sure we all had a good experience. His knowledge led to a more fulfilling experience while touring the castles.

Our guide Sebastian was on time for our hotel pickup. We are visiting during the heatwave in Paris. The van was cold and pleasant, and much needed relief between castle stops. Sebastian gave interesting commentary about the area and what we would see during our drive, pointing out things along the way. He was knowledgeable, funny and interesting, & navigated each location with confidence. In some spots where a device guided us through a castle, he would let us tour on our own, which was fine because we could linger (or not) according to our interest, while learning about the rooms we were in. We had a very tasty lunch where our group (2 couples and a single) got to know each other, which made the trip even more enjoyable. The final stop was a local winery. Sebastian gave a great tour of the wine making process, and we got to meet the family who owned it. We had fun tasting the different wines. So good! Also, Sebastian had a different music playlist for each section of the trip, which was very enjoyable to listen to. He had water for us, offered to charge our devices, and took good care to make sure we stayed on track and be safe since it was so hot. This was my favorite tour of my trip, and fun to see a new area of France that I hadn’t experienced before. For me, the comfort of a very cool van in a heatwave coupled with a knowledgeable and fun guide who catered to the group was well worth the expense. Thank you Sebastian! Well done! (My pictures do not do the tour justice; truly spectacular places!)

Amazing experience with Sebastian, he was incredibly accommodating and informative!

Sebastian was an excellent guide. We thoroughly enjoyed this Loire Valley excursion. We saw two beautiful castles --the ladies' castle and Chambord... although both are beautiful they are extremely different. The drive is a beautiful pass through the French Countryside... a great break from the Hustle of Paris. Sebastian even made it possible for us to to see Leonardo DaVinci's resting place in Amboise on our Lunch stop... the winery tour and tasting were amazing as well. Would highly recommend this one. Thank you for providing such a fantastic experience for our family.

Our Paris experience was well-complemented with a trip to SE France in the Loire area. Wine tasting, castle exploration, and a traditional 3-course French cuisine inspired lunch was a fantastic experience. Sebastian was a great tour guide & narrated our trip with all sorts of useful information about the history of the area.

Sebastian was a great guide. He is very knowledgeable and easy going. Excellent service. He was willing to adapt our trip to make it exactly what we wanted! We appreciated his timeliness and the AC blasting in the car during the heat wave.

We had a great day with Sebastian. He was polite, informative and an all-around pleasant guy to spend the day with. The trip encompasses an entire day - we left just after 7am and returned 12 hours later. We saw some beautiful sites, drank nice wine and had a good lunch in a quaint town. However, it is a long day and you have to be willing to give up a full day in Paris to make the trip. Overall, was a fun experience and something different than the regular tourist activities.

5 out of 5 experience without a doubt! Our family vacation was kicked off with our castles and wine tasting tour with Sebastian. It was fantastic and unforgettable. We are still raving about it to our friends and family! It started out right because we were picked and dropped off in front of our hotel, and we were lucky enough to get the whole van to ourselves, which was comfortable and perfectly air conditioned! Chateau de Chenonceau was our favorite castle and we loved the wine tasting experience at Plou de Fils, especially going through the cold cellar (man made cave carved into the mountains 🤯)! We we so excited about the treat at chateau de Amboise where Leonardo Davinci is laid to rest. We even had a wonderful lunch (wine and dessert included) at La Reserve!! Sebastian was so patient and took us to do a little shopping and explained everything in great but fun detail!

We had a truly memorable day on this small group tour of the Loire Valley. Everything was outstanding starting with the hotel pick up in a very comfortable and clean van to a spectacular day visiting the two castles as well as a local winery. Our guide, Sebastian, was excellent, providing information on the local area and was an expert tour guide of the winery too! The wine tasting was very generous and informative as well. We had plenty of time to explore the castles even though our lunch ran very late (the restaurant service was extremely slow). Sebastian made adjustments to our schedule so we wouldn't miss any time exploring the last castle, which was the magnificent Chambord Castle. Sebastian timed it perfect, getting us to Chenonceau Castle early in the morning before the crowds arrived, so we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Highly recommend this tour and if you're lucky, you will get Sebastian as your tour guide. Bonjour!

Sebastian is a great guide. He gets around the Parisien traffic and shares his knowledge well. He was flexible and supported our goals. We definitely felt we got more than we expected with this tour.
