Your Itinerary

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!

Admission Included

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.

We have had an amazingly brilliant day, not only did we get to see two fabulous castles (Chambord and Chenonceau) as well as a delicious three course meal (very posh 10/10) and some sight seeing along the way, we then finished in a beautiful winery seeing how they grew, stored, bottled and sold the wine with plenty of tastings… not to mention a fab doggy who we befriended 🤩🤩 bought several bottles just which we could have brought more home! Hotel pick up and drop off included which made the day so much easier and the NICEST tour guide Sebastian we could have asked for, would do it all over again in a heartbeat, thank you so much for such a lovely day

Was a wonderful day trip. A perfect blend of activities (a castle, a lovely lunch, house of da-Vinci, and a lovely wine-tasting at an authentic (duh) French winery. Our host, Sebastian was so very pleasant. He was kind, accommodating, and knowledgeable. He gave us enough information without overwhelming us with information. He made sure we were all comfortable and our group felt 100% comfortable and confident in his ability to guide (drive, etc) us through said activities. He was a great driver, too… and I truly appreciate someone who is in-tune with the road! 🙏 Our group had zero complaints, and were very pleased with how things were arranged, handled, and planned. Highly recommend, would do it again any day. :)

My trip was awesome! Our tour guide Sebastian was just impeccable! He was so knowledgeable and informative! He was also very kind and funny. He definitely helped my family and I understand more about France and it’s history. The tour itself was spectacular! The castles were so incredibly beautiful and interesting to learn about. Our lunch was out of this world amazing and I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone! And personally I would ask for our guide Sebastian again!

The Loire Valley was a truly magical experience. We visited few castles such as Château de Chambord, Château de Chenonceau, and the historical one Château d'Amboise. The villages were charming and picture-perfect, and I was able to enjoy the local cuisine and wine. I would highly recommend this day trip to anyone looking for a taste of French history and culture.

We booked this tour for our honeymoon out of Paris. We had Sebastian for our tour. He took use to 2 castles Chamboard and Amboise. Plus a winery with a tour of their cave and tasting. An amazing 5 course lunch at a hotel that also had a cave. We had extra time so we stopped at another wine room before heading back to Paris. I would recommend this tour if you like castles and wine. Loire valley is beautiful.

We booked this tour for our honeymoon in Paris. What an amazing experience! We had Sebastian as our tour guide. It ended up just being the 2 of us. We got a private tour for a great price. We went to 2 amazing castles in the Loire valley. Chamboard and Amboise. A very good wine tasting and a tour of the cave in the winery. We went to another wine room since we had more time after the Amboise castle as a bonus. We stopped for a 5 course lunch at a beautiful hotel. It was the best food we had on our trip. Plus a cave to tour on the property. Sebastian was great he really customized the tour to do what we were interested in. I would definitely recommend this tour.
