This was a very full day of great scenery along the way to the castles and chateaus. Jose was very informative and a great host.

We had a lovely time and the tour guide provided wonderful information at each of the three château’s we especially loved Chenonaeux. It was a long day but well worth every minute. I highly recommend this tour.
Dear Kathlee, Thank you very much for your feedback. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour of the three châteaux and that the information provided by our guide made the experience even more special, especially at Chenonceaux. It is a pleasure to know that, despite being a long day, it was absolutely worth it. We truly appreciate your recommendation and look forward to welcoming you again soon. Kind regards, Extime Travel (formerly Paris City Vision)
Worth it to see all the castles. Water and lunch are not provided so make sure to bring snacks and water. Very long day but very organized tour and everything was on time. Felt a bit rushed but if you want to see all the castles from Paris this is probably the best way. Guides were great.
Dear Gary, Thank you very much for your comment. We are glad to hear that you appreciated the organization of the tour and the work of our guides. We take note of your comments in order to continue improving the experience. We hope to welcome you again soon. Kind regards, Extime Travel (formerly Paris City Vision)
It was a long day, but the chateaux were beautiful. Cheverny interiors were very strange, but Chambord and Chenonceau were magnificent. The tour guide seemed like he would rather have been somewhere else.
Dear Jeffrey, We are glad to hear you enjoyed the castles and we take note of your comments about the tour and the guide, as they help us to continuously improve. We hope to see you again soon. Kind regards, Paris City Vision
Long day but we had enough time to see everything. Very organized and thorough. I would go a little bit later in the season but the roses were in bloom.
Dear Diane, Thank you very much for your comment. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the visit and that everything was well organized. We hope to see you again soon. Kind regards, Paris City Vision
This was a great tour! Jasmina and Sidiq were great to have all day. We had a smaller group, which was nice. The two castles are wonderful. Jasmina gave us so much good information and history all day. The wines that we tried at Chenonceau were a bonus- it was the first Sauv. Blanc I've ever liked! We had great weather, and the French countryside this time of year (April) is just stunning. I would absolutely suggest this tour to anyone who wants to experience the Loire Valley. Our stop in Bloise was a really nice lunch stop. It's a small town that wasn't on my radar, but I'm so glad to have seen it.
Dear Kyndall, Thank you very much for your kind comment. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the tour, the smaller group setting, and of course the company of Jasmina and Sidiq. It’s a pleasure to know that the experience at Chenonceau and the visit to Blois exceeded your expectations. We hope to accompany you again on another unforgettable experience! Kind regards, Paris City Vision
Impressed they could fit the trip to 3 chateaux in a single trip. It’s a self- guided tour with audio. You can spend your time in each chateau your own way.
Dear traveler, Thank you veyr much for your comment. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the tour and that you value the services we provide. We hope to see you again soon. Kind regards, Paris City Vision
First and foremost, we would like to thank Anna for a fantastic day! She is an incredible guide and we were so fortunate to have had her. She did a beautiful job keeping us well informed and on track for a packed day. All 3 castles were awesome and so different! We enjoyed the adventure- it was a great way to spend the day of New Years Eve! Thank you again to Anna and our great driver!!

Querido Carlos, Muchas gracias por su comentario. Nos alegra saber que ha tenido una gran experiencia con nosotros y que el guia le otorgo el servicio esperado. ¡Esperamos volver a verle pronto! Cordialmente,
This was an easy way to see three castles in one day. It was a long day, but after researching various ways to visit, including renting a car, taking a train and staying in hotels etc, this ended up being very efficient. At this time of year, November, the bus was only had full so there was plenty of room. There are three guide levels to choose from: no explanations, a limited audio guide downloaded to your phone, and provided earbuds and receivers for guided tours from the two tour guides on board who spoke French, Spanish and English. Cheverny did not provide written information pamphlets to groups like ours, which was disappointing. This tour is time-limited; that is, you could spend much more time at each of these locations exploring the history and art more in depth or the gardens and out buildings, kennels, chapels, etc. But because of the distances between castles this tour is a very efficient and comfortable way to visit these castles.
Dear Kitty, Thank you for your detailed review. We’re glad to hear that the tour provided an efficient and comfortable way to visit the three castles, especially given the long distances involved. Your comments about the guide options and bus comfort in November are appreciated, and we’re sorry that Cheverny did not provide written materials during your visit. Your feedback is valuable and helps us improve the experience. Kind Regards,
