Our guide, Arwan, was completely knowledgeable and flexible. With every turn, he had at least one interesting tale to tell. We walked away with a much better breadth of knowledge from the days when Chambord flourished. Thank you, Arwan (R1) for a delightful afternoon.
Great castle, very nice prestige visit of the castle. A great guide (Myriam). Smiling, kind, know her subject very well. We'll look at Chambord from a different angle.
Certainly one of the most beautiful castles visited. I particularly appreciated the tasting of the castle's wines done in a very technical and professional way. Definitely an experience to do
The castle is very nice to see on the outside, the interior is much barer, the "spiral" staircase is mainly interesting. I recommend taking a walk only outside maybe having a picnic if the day allows.
A majestic castle with beautiful landscapes, before arriving at the castle are souvenir shops and food shops where one can taste crepes or paninis.
We took a small group tour of the beautifully decorated castle for Christmas with an extraordinary speaker who spoke to us about both the history of the castle and Christmas for more than two hours. During the weekends of December costumed artists circulate in the castle and dance in front of us Barbara is a very friendly and passionate speaker-guide who interacts with her audience without ever bothering them.

Impressive! Getting to the castle is a wonderful journey with the colors of autumn. The castle is something indescribable. Walk a little. It's worth it. Entry EU14,50 per Cover
A little disappointed, not by the imposing exterior building. Inside, despite an unusual visit of 3 hours the discoveries remain few. This castle is hopelessly empty and for good reason it has never really been inhabited. Du tu saw me for a king's herd who only spent 72 days there officially and in reality most certainly less than 15 days... castle finally never finished for lack of budget. We preferred Cheverny even if smaller, but he habitable, inhabited and perfectly maintained. Chambord is finally a cash machine, more than a discovery.
Bonjour, Au vue de la lecture de votre avis, vous mettez une note sur votre ressenti concernant le château, alors que votre notation doit concerner la visite guidée et le moment que vous avez passé avec le guide. En mettant trois étoiles pour le château, c'est nous qui sommes pénalisez, alors que le château n'est pas lié à la qualité de la prestation reçue. Pour donner votre avis sur le château je vous invite à aller sur le site de Chambord. Si la visite guidée a été satisfaisante pour vous, merci de revoir votre copie. Cordialement. AKOPSO
Beautiful surroundings, beautiful castle and beautiful cycling routes in the area. You can also go around the castle with a boat or a golf cart. In the castle you can also go through the castle with a tablet fun for children. There are also a lot of geocaches. In short, definitely worth it.
Dear customer, Thank you for your return and the pleasure you had to visit this lovely french Loire castle with us! Regards AKOPSO
Must-see by the wealth and number of rooms to visit and its imposing architecture. English and French gardens. Possibility of very varied catering and for any budget. Plan the day for a complete and rewarding visit. Impossible in 1h30 as indicated in some guide. For now no gauge on the number of visitors... and a strong influence at 2pm! But sanitary pass and covid sanitary standards very well respected A wonderful day
Bonjour et merci pour votre avis. AKOPSO
