Simply perfect. The tour was conducted by the local A La Française and we had a super pleasant tour, in a air-conditioned van with another couple from New York. The guide was extremely kind and gave a lot of useful information, leading us through interesting points, with more than perfect views of the castles. The lunch in Villesavin was extremely delicious, and a necessary break in the middle of the tour. I highly recommend this tour. No peregrines, everything on schedule, everything perfect.
