    Camille was a friendly guide and I loved the gardens at both chateaux. Easy to organise and reliable service.

    Our guide/driver Steeven was very engaging, professional and informative. The cost was a little pricey, but overall pretty decent value

    Azay le Rideau is magnificent. The chateau and its position are beautiful. The guided tour was very interesting and the restoration of the property allows a better understanding of the skill in construction. Villandry gardens are beautiful sure, but we would have preferred to skip Villandry and spend the extra time at Azay le Rideau.

    Maryann our group leader was A++++ outstanding. She was friendly, knowledgeable, humorous, a safe driver and top notch in every way. I cannot commend her more for the job she did in guiding our adventure. The two main castles were amazing and must-see sights…. almost unimaginable. The van was clean and comfortable to ride in. The time in the van was very tolerable for this big sightseeing trip as it was broken into small pieces going from place to place. That said, the time allowed at the two big castles was way too short! We had to rush on our free time to see just a few of the optional sites at each castle. And felt like we really got shorted on this experience. The needed extra time at the big chateaus would have been easy to add by removing the 3 hour visit to the small chateau where we had a very small, modest, unmemorable lunch. We appreciated seeing how a small privately owned chateau that is not funded by the government pales in comparison to the more glorious French funded chateaus but I would have gladly given up this one part of the day to have more time at the two big chateaus. This shortcoming was not Maryann’s fault, this was the fault of the planning by the tour company. In all, a wonderful opportunity to see the French countryside and two amazing chateaus but too little time to see more of them.
