Delightful tour of two beautiful Chateaux - Our visits to Chambord and Chenonceau were enhanced by beautiful sunny weather and a very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful guide. We had a nice lunch at Chambord and had plenty of time to explore in and around the Chateaux. The van that took us to the sites and back to Tours was very comfortable. All in all, we feel that this tour was good value for the money.

Get tour of the Loire valley Chateaus - We did a tour of the chateaus in the Loire valley and it was amazing. Our guide Alex did agreat job of showing us the highlights and adding stories that probably aren't in a lot of history books. It made the tour more interesting and fun. I would recommend this tour and if you can get Alex all the better
