Loire Valley is spectacular! - Sebastian is a wonderful guide! He always made sure we were enjoying ourselves and had everything we needed. He is very knowledgeable of the area and answered all of our questions! When we return we will definitely ask for him again.

Loire valley - We enjoyed our day. Our guide, Sebastian, was on time, knowledgeable, friendly and considerate of our needs and interests. We spent the day driving thru the countryside seeing castles and stopping at a winery- and a town for lunch and to shop a bit. While it is an all day excursion the castles are a must see so it is well worth dedicating a day to the valley.

Outstanding experience, cant wait to do it again! - I am writing to share how much we enjoyed our recent custom excursion in Paris. We had an incredible time, and I wanted to particularly highlight that our guide, Sebastian, was phenomenal. He was extremely knowledgeable about the city's history and truly went above and beyond to make our experience memorable. Sebastian is intuitive, proactive, and was an absolute pleasure to have as our guide. Furthermore, I would highly recommend your company to others. Your team was incredibly thoughtful and responsive throughout the planning and booking process, ensuring the tour was customized exactly to our preferences. Thank you for helping us have such a wonderful experience in the city we love. We already look forward to booking with you again next year! Best regards, Elizabeth Pritchard

A dream of a day! - What a dream of a day! We had the best time visiting the Loire valley and very much enjoyed touring Chateau de Chenonceau and two wineries and had a delicious lunch in between. Much of what made the day so incredible was our guide, Sebastian, who went over the top to provide the most beautiful day for us. He was timely, knowledgeable, on top of everything, a great driver and never hesitated to take our photos (which he is incredibly talented at). Would definitely recommend this day trip and Sebastian!

Just do it! - Our Loire castles tour which included a winery tour and lunch, ticked a lot of boxes for us of great things to do when visiting Paris. A bonus too was our guide, Sebastian. He was punctual to pick us up and very knowledgeable on Paris, wine, food, history and things to see and do. Sebastian also brought along his super duper camera and took some beautiful photographs for us that we would not have been able to do ourselves. We thought Chateau de Chenonceau was fantastic and loved the presentation and information provided. The lunch and winery were a delight. We were informed of one more chateau stop before heading back and WOW - we could not believe our eyes. Chateau de Chambord is spectacular. It actually requires a lot more time than we had to explore it all but we appreciated the experience we had. Do the tour - we highly recommend it.
