Stunning formal garden - Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable about the two sites we visited as well as a safe driver. We were in good hands, and she even built in time for us to get some lunch.

Gorgeous must see gardens - The gardens of Villandry are gorgeous and extensive. Take the time to see them fully even if you end up skipping lunch.

Wonderful Loire Valley trip! - First of all, we were glad that the tour was in a smaller 8 passenger van rather than a large mega bus tour. Chloe, our tour guide, was fluent in several languages and very informed about the interesting information at each stop. She was very delightful and friendly! We felt like we covered a lot of ground in the Loire Valley area in a short amount of time. We would definitely book another tour with her in the future! Bravo!

“Dimitri (Gino)” A’La France” Tour Guide - Beautiful locations to visit & our guide “Dimitri”, was a real character. We forgot his name & as he reminded us strongly of Gino the Italian TV chef, that’s what we called him. Full of info, great sense of humour & really interactive with us & the other couple.

Nice castles and gardens to visit - It is a well organised tour. Our driver&guide Clovie was very enthusiastic and gave interesting information. It is enough time both for the tour and some free time. Both visited places were worth visiting.

Deux Chateaux (Two Castles) - This is great opportunity to see the amazing gardens of Villandry and hear about some of the history of the area. Transportation is nice in a van and the guide, Dimitri, made the experience great. This is perfect for solo travelers. This is 9:30-1:30pm, so there is plenty of time left to visit more castles on your own!
