Chateau de Chambord

Chambord is the most majestic of the Châteaux you will see, boasting massive medieval towers perfectly blended with Renaissance elegance. Set in 13,000 acres of parkland this former royal residence represents the pinnacle of France’s 16th century architectural revolution, and the double helix spiral staircase at the heart of the Château, attributed to Leonardo Di Vinci is simply mind-blowing.

Admission Included

Chateau Royal d'Amboise

Amboise, with its spectacular view over the Loire, is famous for being the last resting place of one of history’s most famous men: Leonardo Da Vinci and with its massive gothic defensive features it evokes that bygone era of knights on horseback.

Admission Included

Chateau de Chenonceau

Chenonceau, above all stands out as the most beautiful of the Châteaux of the Loire as it extends with infinite grace over the waters of the river Cher. With its ornately carved decoration and history of romance and rivalry, this Château lives up to its passionate reputation and has been seducing visitors for hundreds of years.

Ricardo was an experienced driver and knowledgeable about the Liore Valley. I don’t have more to say about the trip.

We had a great day. It was an amazing day, lots of history. Nice lunch at a local restaurant. It was a small group, comfortable travel to and from Paris. Lots of walking.

Excellent experience. Our guide was excellent and super knowledgeable. Really enjoyed being able to stroll and experience by ourselves, too. This was well worth doing.

The experience was very good. The trip to the castles is wonderful. However, it would have been better to have a guided tour or at least audio guides (all were sold out). The driver gave us a 5 minute explanation before arriving to each castle but that was not enough. On the way back the traffic was terrible and the driving was not smooth at all. The AC on the van was not always working well.

The semi private is a must and it was great! Marcelo was our driver and was very warm and funny and made us feel very comfortable. We learned a lot and the castles are a must. Take time to leave the busy streets of Paris and take this calming trip. It feels like you go back in time!

A wonderful day trip and introduction to the countryside and the chateaux. Our driver/guide Majela (sp?) was kind, helpful, and informative. Given the size of the chateaux, the crowds, and the limited time, consider this tour an overview of each location; each chateau and its gardens probably needs a half-day to really see and appreciate. There is quite a bit of walking and stairs so be prepared.

Richard_C

A well organised tour with a helpful and knowledgeable your guide. All three chateaux were different and the history is fascinating. A good one day tour to do from Paris

Sue_R

A lovely day-trip . Travelled in a very clean, modern van with a friendly driver who was able to share his knowledge regarding the history of each castle. We really enjoyed seeing some of the French countryside, south of Paris. Would highly recommend Paris Trip as the organisers of this excursion.

Stephanie_S

Beautiful escape from the City. An Expert guide provided history of the castles and area. Plenty of time to explore the sites and visit gift shops.

Mary_H

A very full day, but Pascale took good care of his travelers. He gave us a good balance of historical background at the start of the tour, on our way to the chateaux and in each chateau, but also gave us time to explore on our own. Thanks for a memorable experience!
