James was a great guide. I really loved the way he explained everything related to the history of La Loire and the Castles. He really knows what he’s talking about. The places we visited were beautiful. The place where there was the wine tasting: such a small place for such a huge Castle. Regarding the meeting point: there are works in the indicated meeting point, so it was hard to find it ‘cause it was still dark and had to walk all around to finally find where they were waiting for us.

The sights were great, but the experience itself was pretty frustrating. Finding the bus was confusing as hell. We were told to meet at the Catacombs, but the bus was actually parked a block away with little indication. We ended up helping another member of the group find it, and another person nearly missed the bus. The wine tasting was essentially three tiny sample pours of cheap wine. The guide, James, constantly said “yeah, know,” after every sentence and had many forced jokes, and also brought up politics? The final 45 minutes on the bus were spent listening to unsolicited restaurant recommendations. The tour delivered what was advertised, but I definitely wouldn’t book it again.

We truly enjoyed James as our tour guide he was not only knowledgeable about our tour destination but was also helpful in making our day trip as enjoyable and safe as possible. James was affable, entertaining and lessens to have omen one no one conversations.

Very knowledgeable and entertaining, our guide James made this trip a blast.

James was an awesome (and funny) tour guide who gave us lots of history on the areas and castles we were exploring as well as France itself. We learned a lot and got to taste some delicious wine and see some beautiful castles on our day out! It was a little challenging to find the meeting point because the area was under construction, but everything else was great.

Perfect Guide is Steve!!! Thank you again!!!

James was a great tour guide! Super funny and knowledgeable. 10/10 would recommend.

James was a phenomenal tour guide. He was funny but also very well educated about French history. We appreciated his time throughout the tour and would recommend to anyone coming to Paris for the first time or just wanting something new to do.

absolutely horrible. Our tour guide was so bad. He rushed us through things. Never answered questions and he made the lunch time a disaster. I can go on and on about but if you go with this guy, make sure you rush in and order your food otherwise you end up not getting any food at all and he dosnt give a damn eventhough he recommend the plase. Also wine tasitng is a joke. I don't recommend this people.
