Happy family, long day. - It starts early in the morning & we were on the other side of Paris; coordinated a taxi with our hotel. Got to the Pullman hotel in plenty of time for tour pick up which was on-time and easy. However, there is no place open at that hour nearby to get a coffee or pastry - bring a snack or coordinate a to-go bag with your hotel at least a day prior to your trip. You’ll have a quick minute to grab a bite after the first chateau, sit-down lunch is scheduled into free time after the second chateau. At this point, you are at least five hours into the trip. Our guide was excellent. She was quite informative and showed us the highlights of three chateaus. The bus was clean and comfortable. Bottom line: I’d take my family again, ages: 54 (me and wife), and daughters 25, 18, and 18. Yes, twinning is winning!

Dream castles - Fascinantes los castillos Chambord, Chenonceau y Cheverny. Chambord is impressive for its design, Chenonceau for its beauty and charm, and Cheverny stands out mainly for its dogs. The visit inside is very easy to orient yourself and know those beauties. Very good organization. Many views of the Loire River and its valley, other points of interest along the route, other small castles along the route and, in general, a beautiful tour. I recommend it 100%

A well chosen trio of... - A well chosen trio of Castles showing the diversity of the region. The guided tour is worth it to get lots of info quickly as visiting 3 Chateau in one day means you only spend 1h30 / 2h30 at each, but it's well spaced

Great way to explore three splendid Loire Valley Chateaux - It was a convenient way to visit three splendid French castles in the Loire Valley. It was truly a dream come true. Our guide Claire spoke English and Spanish very well and explained the history of the area well. Please note that the time in Chambord was limited. It would be wise to plane your visit to spend a bit more time walking around the beautiful gardens to get a great view of the castle. I had to run to capture the moments I wanted.

The tour was too long. Nevertheless, the castles were beautiful. - The tour lasted more than twelve hours and was very tiring by the late afternoon. Aside from that, the castles lived up to their reputations. They were beautiful, both outside and in.
