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.

WALTER_Y

The trip was very rushed with only about an hour to see the wonders of each chateau. The wine tasting was well below average. Not enough chairs for all the tour participants and not much information about the wines or the winery. The owner of the vineyard did not impart much info about the wines and nothing about the process of making his wine. Least impressive wine tour we have ever taken. The bus driver got lost at least once. Lastly, the trip was billed as small group tour but it was a full size coach 25 to 30 tour goers. The tour guide was good but their was too much to do and too little time.

Corina_G

Chamborg and Chenonceau were great! Needed more time at each venue, didn't get a chance to see a lot. Skip the stop at Blois. Perhaps offer a box lunch or make other arrangements to offer more time at the castles. Tour guides were good.

Carla_G

We visited two beautiful and interesting castles in the Loire Valley. The tour guides were nice and we learned about the castles and history in general. The wine tasting was a nice experience.

The views of the Castles were amazing! Our first stop was the Château de Chambord, followed by lunch and stroll at Blois, wine tasting at a vineyard, and final stop was the Château de Chenonceau. Overall, the day was great and provided an overview of the region. If one wants to spend a lot of time at each castle, then they should come on their own to explore. Our guide Raymond was knowledgeable and shared the history of the castles with us making the tour even more enjoyable. I would highly recommend the tour if you have limited time and want to explore the Loire Valley region.

The Loire valley trip is well organised, lovely drive , gives enough time to visit the attractions. Tour guide Raymond was great help, very friendly and at the same time knowledgeable about historical aspects of the areas visited. Only suggestion could be that the winery visit was a bit of an disappointment with regards to ambience, facilities and overall experience and a better spot could have been selected.

Had a fantastic day with great guides Goran and Ifi. Definitely worth a visit - thoroughly enjoyed it.

Beelzebulb2022

One of the highlights of my trip to Paris. It was nice to break up city excursions with this day trip. Our tour guide, Raymond, was extremely helpful and attentive. I would highly recommend this tour!

GRACIELA_C

The guide was very well informed about the history of the Chateaus and very kind to give us tips to visit several turistics places in Paris The punctuality was also excellent. The only bad thing was the smell coming from the toilet. When I complained they used Febreze. I think this is something to check before the trip star.

Emkayoo

This was both a French history lesson & a delight watching the marvelous beauty of the chateaus. Raymond was great. Thx.
