What To Expect

Chateau de Chenonceau
The first castle which you visit is Chateau de Chennonceau, it is one of the oldest and most beautiful castles in the France that is today only surpassed by the might of the famous Versailles in Paris. From the moment it was created, beauty and unique style of the castle that was built over the river Cher attracted royalty and nobles from all around the Europe. Have an audio-guided experience in this castle and explore the past on your own!

Chateau de Chambord
After tasty lunch head to your next destination which would be the famous chateau Chambord Chambord is a radically unique work, one of the jewels in the heritage of humankind. Its vocation is at once symbolic, aesthetic and spiritual. It is not only an affirmation of royal power, but also an evocation of the ideal city; as a monument, it remains an enigma that has yet to divulge all its secrets. Chambord is perhaps the equivalent in architecture of Mona Lisa in painting. The royal hunting lodge Chateau de Chambord was started in 1519 by the Valois King Francis I. It was favoured by kings fond of hunting such as Henry II and Louis XIV.

Reviews

Both Victor and Vincent were great hosts for our tour of 8 to the Loire Valley. We needed two vehicles, both of which were very comfortable and we learned a lot about French history and culture on our way from Paris. It was certainly a full day of great wine and food and the choice for lunch was absolutely fantastic. 2 wineries and 1 chateau proved to be a great balance for a day trip. Both hosts were prompt and safe drivers. I recommend not planning anything else for your day as it's a full 12-hours or so.

Worth the time and money. The pick up and drop off at your hotel is a very valuable thing to have. Our guide, Larisa was the best! The drive out to the Chateau is about 2.5 hours, but the drive back into Paris is 3 hours since the vineyard you visit is a bit further away. The lunch is wonderful, the staff there was very friendly and helped us make decisions on the menu that you choose your food from for the tour. You will truly experience French cuisine here! Snails, souffle, duck liver, and plenty of wine. We had the catch of the day which they didn't tell us what that exactly was until we were done. I will leave it at that, but when we googled it in the car we thought - WOW, we ate that!? Have an open mind, enjoy the travel time and good wines at the vineyard.
