Your Itinerary

Loire Valley

Marvel at the Loire Valley's opulent châteaux and taste its famous locally-made wine during this full-day tour from Paris.

Chateau de Chambord

From Paris, you’ll head first to Château de Chambord. Disney fans will find this castle’s turrets familiar; it was the inspiration for the castle in ‘Beauty and the Beast’. Though originally conceived as a royal hunting lodge, it was built to a scale that must be seen to be believed. You’ll learn all about the castle’s captivating history from your guide, before getting your own chance to explore. Climb a staircase supposedly designed by Da Vinci; enjoy spectacular turret-framed rooftop views; glimpse wild deer around the grounds; and work up an appetite for the next stop.

Admission Included

Blois

Having worked up an appetite, we'll get back on the bus and on to our next stop - the quaint town of Blois, where you’ll get some free time to enjoy lunch in one of the restaurants located around the beautiful and vibrant Square Louis XII.

Chateau de Chenonceau

Last but not least is a visit to the elegant Château de Chenonceau for wine tasting. The chapel, bedrooms and magnificent vaulted kitchens are still furnished and decorated from times gone by, showing off the castle’s many sweeping stone carvings. Don’t miss the impressive main hall, which spans the river Cher, or the gardens cultivated by Diane de Poitiers and Catherine de Medici – two of the famous owners that earned Chenonceau the nickname ‘the Ladies’ Château’. After a guided tour, you’ll have a choice: continue exploring, or indulge in a second wine tasting in the castle’s vaulted wine cellar. Three uniquely beautiful castles, good food and wine, all amid the scenery of the Loire Valley: this tour is a feast for the senses.

Loved to see the castles but wine tasting could have been more thorough or explained in booking. Bus was great bit wine tasting needed chairs and to be in a bigger room

Our guide Daniel was very informative and entertaining. The chateaux were spectacular. Highly recommend this day trip. It’s a long day but well worth it

Claire_M

Great tour, great guides. No rush, very enjoyable. Definitely worth the money. However, the step out of the bus is very high. The driver knew he could lower the bus, saw me struggling four times, and when I told him that he should have a little step stool, he answered that he could lower the bus IF I asked him. Otherwise, it was a great tour.

Beautiful day touring the Loire Valley! We had plenty of time at the wonderful castles. The wine tasting was fun and they even had a drink for non-drinkers(esp children😊). Daniel and Sam were great guides- informative and entertaining. We enjoyed lunch in the little town where we stopped. Definitely recommend this tour!
