An unforgettable Loire Valley experience - I had the absolute pleasure of spending a day exploring the Loire Valley with Camille as my guide, and it was truly one of the highlights of my trip to France. Her storytelling brought the châteaux to life, and she shared fascinating details I would have never discovered on my own. Thank you Camille!! 😊

Chloe a well-versed and interesting tour guide - Chloe is a well-versed interesting tour guide. For those wishing to undertake this tour, I suggest, for the enjoyment of all, that you get back to the van on time after the first Chateaux. On our tour some were very late affecting our time and enjoyment of the second Chateaux.

Best way to make the most of your time in the Loire Valley! - This was a great way to make the most of a day in the Loire Valley. Our guide , Chloe, was fun and very informed, ( she is finishing a PHD in art history this summer) . It was seamless and there was no waiting.

Chenonceau and Chambord - Lots of uneven walking and stairs. Guide very knowledgeable but difficult to understand. Was conversing a lot in French with one guest ignoring the others Also long breaks seemed unnecessary
