An excellent day! Both châteaux visited were stunning and complimented each other very well. Really enjoyed the guided tours of the two wine cellars and tasting the very good wines at both. Our guide Sophie was superb; knowledgeable, friendly, thoughtful, attentive and energetic.

My daughter and I had a great day, she said it was her favorite day of the trip to France. The Chateau’s we great selections and the private family dug cave was a perfect stop. The tour guide was the highlight, she was informed, fun, and treated everyone with kindness and care for how the day went. Chad

The trip was great. Dmitri was very friendly, helpful and fun. Suggestion for the future would be another tasting stop and spend less time with each one on the details of the wine making process. I think most people like some of that detail, but not extensive time on it. Overall though well done.

Dimitry was a fantastic guide for 2 Chateaux, gardens and 2 wine tastings. Very knowledgeable, pleasant and offered up many insights about the area, French culture and wine. We had a great day and met some other nice travelers in our group. A must do when you visit the Loire.

We booked this tour at the last minute after our other tour was cancelled at the last minute and we were not disappointed. Dimitri was great! He gave us a lot of historical information but then gave us plenty of time to explore on our own. He was very friendly and had tons of energy and enthusiasm.

We enjoyed the tour. The 2 castles gave a nice variety of experience as did the 2 wineries. Our guide was knowledgeable and very pleasant and conversational. I got an appreciation for the region - and the locals' love for it - that I'd have never gotten without this tour.
