Itinéraire
Le Château de Chambord est le plus grand château du Val de Loire ! Il a des centaines de flèches délicates et un escalier à double hélice qui ne manquera pas de vous impressionner par sa conception et son ampleur géniales. Vous découvrirez Chambord avec votre guide puis aurez au moins une heure de temps libre pour le visiter par vous-même et prendre de superbes photos souvenirs.
Chenonceau est vraiment unique ! Connu sous le nom de Château des Dames car il appartenait et était construit par, pour la plupart, des femmes puissantes, et elles y ont laissé leur touche féminine. Vous en apprendrez plus sur son histoire fascinante, y compris pourquoi il a été construit au-dessus d'une rivière, grâce à votre guide, puis vous aurez du temps libre pour explorer l'intérieur et admirer le magnifique décor.
Le château d'Amboise est l'un des plus anciens châteaux royaux de France. Depuis son perchoir, il offre une vue magnifique sur la Loire sauvage et la charmante ville médiévale d'Amboise. Vous apprendrez tout sur son histoire torride grâce au guide, puis vous aurez du temps libre pour explorer les remparts du château et prendre de superbes photos.
Visitez la tombe du grand Léonard de Vinci et voyez où il a passé les 3 dernières années de sa vie au service du roi de France. Aucune visite de la Loire ne serait complète sans en apprendre davantage sur Da Vinci. Son génie architectural était très important pour le château de la Renaissance dans la Loire. (pas toujours accessible)
La cité médiévale d'Amboise vous charmera avec ses maisons à pans de plâtre et à pans de bois et ses petites ruelles sinueuses. Vous profiterez de temps libre pour déjeuner dans la belle ville d'Amboise. Vous avez le choix entre des dizaines de petits restaurants et boulangeries. Votre déjeuner n'est pas inclus dans le prix de notre voyage.
Bien que le vin ne soit pas au centre de cette visite avant de quitter Amboise, votre guide vous conduira dans une jolie petite boutique de vins où vous recevrez une courte dégustation d'échantillons de trois vins différents. Le Val de Loire est connu pour sa production de vins blancs alors vous en dégusterez quelques-uns pour rendre votre visite de la Loire encore plus authentique.
Sur votre chemin vers le château de Chambord, nous passerons devant ce charmant château millénaire et son magnifique jardin fleuri qui longe la Loire. Si vous posez des questions à ce sujet, le guide se fera un plaisir de partager son histoire avec vous et, si le temps le permet, de s'arrêter également pour quelques photos.

My family booked this tour with us being 6 out of 8 of the group. Our tour guide Wesley didn’t tell us more than 10 minutes of information for a whole day tour about 3 castles. Gave us about 1-1.5 hours at each castle and given it was holiday time in France, he could have given us 15 minutes more at each so we wouldn’t have to rush. The tour covered entrance but no audio guide. At the price of 1400€ for 6 people and only 10€ or less per castle ticket, this was overpriced for just a driver and a 10 min “tour guide”. This tour is a waste of money.
The three castles were beautiful and the trip was flexible enough to tour independently. The small group/van was very comfortable and easy.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the beautiful Loire Valley castles and appreciated the comfort and flexibility of the small-group tour. We’re so glad the experience was easy and worthwhile. We hope to welcome you again on another adventure! - Alice
Amazing trip! Visiting the Loire Valley castles was an unforgettable experience, and it was made even better thanks to our guide, Wesley. His explanations were, informative, and full of interesting historical details. He was always attentive, friendly, and happy to answer our questions. On top of that, his driving was excellent! we felt completely safe and comfortable throughout the journey. We highly recommend this tour!
Great castles to visit, we left on time and were back an hour earlier. I would have enjoyed to have the wine tasting after lunch, and to have more time at the last castle. But it was overall well organized trip. I enjoyed having time to explore on my own.
Thank you Karim Antony for a great trip - despite the brutal heat wave. All parts of the trip from pickup to passes and breaks were perfect. Recommended.
Thank you for your lovely review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the trip and that Karim made your experience smooth and enjoyable despite the heat wave. We truly appreciate your recommendation! Kind regards, Alice
We really enjoyed the day. Ryan did a wonderful job of filling in the history and helping understand what we were seeing. He was very thoughtful and a lot of fun. We had a couple of us that had some mobility issues and he accommodated as much as possible. I definitely recommend this tour to anyone.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We’re delighted you enjoyed the Loire Valley tour and that Ryan made the experience informative, engaging, and comfortable for everyone. We truly appreciate your recommendation! Regards, - Alice
Exactly as advertised. The castles are phenomenal. The guide gives a 5-minute presentation before each castle then you explore on your own at your own pace. Bring a hat, water, sunglasses, and very comfortable shoes - it’s a LOT of walking and a LOT of steps/climbing. Definitely worth the value but it’s a long day!
Great way to see a lot of castles in one day. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. Be aware that this is A LOT of time in a van in one day..... about 6 hours total. It was nice not to have to figure out routes, etc. and just relax and enjoy the day. If you have a tendency to get car sick this might not be the best tour for you.
Family of 4 (two kids ages 15 and 11) took this all-day tour with Julien. We were very thankful for the air conditioned van, especially with record breaking temperatures this week in France. We were the only family on this tour and Julien was extremely informative and helpful as our guide. We had enough time at each castle and even had time to grab a drink or snack at each location. Highly recommend this tour. Our kids weren’t as engaged in the history so we also enjoyed forced learning on holiday!
The Loire Valley region is so beautiful and offers many must see destinations. This trip included visits to 3 remarkable castles, lunch on our own in an excellent local restaurant, and a wine tasting which was very fun. Our guide, Julian, was the perfect host. He was the exact right amount of information and guidance and then time to explore on our own. He was an excellent driver and a great communicator. Julian is a lifelong Parisian and he is very knowledgeable. The castles are all very unique and the gardens and surrounding grounds were beautiful to explore. This was a great value and well worth the time. We especially enjoyed the countryside after a week in the city.
Thanks so much for your kind words, really glad you enjoyed the Loire Valley trip, the castles, wine tasting, and the countryside. Great to hear Julian took good care of you. Hope to see you again soon! - Alice
