    Highly recommend it! The most convenient and pleasant way to visit 3 castles in one day. The bus and its seats were huge enough and clean. Also, we had enough time (at least minimum to visit each castle entirely). I think we are lucky everyone was almost on time and there were less people considering the fact it is a peak period (it was sunday). I did self guided tour without any guided map, but still I could rely on the brochures from the castle, and most of all, whenever I asked something to the guides, they kindly responded to allof my questions. Thank you so much to the guides and the driver( Priscillar, if I remembered correctly and sorry for not remembering wonderful guides..). I would highly recommend this tour to those who havent enough time to visit castles for several days but want to visit them conveniently and all at once. Just one tip: if you are interested in hearing stories of the towns and castles, recommend to have a guide tour. However, for me who like to walk around and discover places, self guided tour was also a good choice.:)

    Our guides, Joe and Liliya were amazing. It's hard keeping up with seven people asking questions, especially when four of them are kids, but they were great at balancing their attention. Our youngest kid was especially impressed with having his questions heard and answered as much as the adults'. They showed us many things I missed on my previous visit to the Louvre, told us a lot about the artworks, what they meant, hidden features, and how they got to the Louvre. They also had a number of good suggestions on other places to visit and when to visit these.

    Positives: The castles were beautiful and the views of the countryside were equally nice. We were lucky to have great weather. The bus was air-conditioned and comfortable. I think that being self-guided was the right choice for travelers like us, who prefer to take our time with areas that are more interesting to us. Negatives: Three chateaus was really a lot —probably too much—for one day. People were late to the bus both times and waiting for them cost us 25 minutes…for such a tight tour, this was a big loss. Just for context, we had about an hour and fifteen minutes at each chateau. At the last chateau, the line was so long to get in the house that we thought we would spend most of the hour in line, so we opted to spend time on the grounds instead. They decided to add 15 minutes on to make up for the time we lost waiting on late people—but because we were self guided and not part of the tour group, we were not informed of this, and arrived to the bus 20 minutes early. The second chateau also had very odd instruction. They said we all needed to go into the chateau together, but we ended up 50 people in a very tight space at the entrance. We ended up following one of the tour groups out of confusion before realizing we were probably supposed to make our own way after entering. I have a feeling some instruction may have been given to the people with headsets, but since we weren’t them, it wasn’t available. I didn’t expect guidance since we didn’t pay for it, but since they had given us instructions to follow, I would hope they’d follow up on them. In conclusion, I think it was a good way to see the chateaus, but certainly some bumps along the way.

    Excellent way to get out of the city and into the countryside. We visited 3 chateaus, of course chambord was the most beautiful and indulgent. It also allowed for the most wandering. The bus ride was easy. was able to sleep on the coach with no issue. We went into a village by one of the chateaus to have lunch... this was my wifes favorite thing we did in france. We didn't opt for the audio tour thing, we just did it all on our own. The guide knew her stuff and the driver was very professional.

    Our tour guide was knowledgeable and made the day enjoyable. She easily handled our tour in English and Spanish. We learned a lot from her during the bus ride even though we chose the self guided option while at the chateaus. If I only had time for one castle, I would choose Chateau de Chenonceau because of the decor.
