Wonderful day to ride and see Chambord. Dimitri was an excellent guide and made sure we had plenty of time to explore. Highly recommended!

This was hands down one of the best experiences of our trip. Camille is an incredible guid! She was warm, knowledgeable, and so thoughtful in how she shaped the day around what we loved. Riding e-bikes through the forest of Chambord was absolutely magical, and the château we visited at the end was breathtaking. It felt like a full, rich day without ever feeling rushed. Truly unforgettable!! I would recommend this tour (and Camille!) to anyone in a heartbeat.

Alex was an amazing host! Her English was outstanding. She was funny, witty and knowledgable- exactly what you want in a guide. The e bikes were very easy to use and the ride was flat and beatutiful. Alex was very focused on making sure we stayed safe. At Chambord, she was very knowledgeable about the Chateau and history. We had a lovely and informative visit. Would highly recommend if you are visiting the Loire Valley!

Disappointed. The title "Loire Valley EBike Tour to Chambord from Amboise" is misleading. It was a ride in a van from and back to Amboise. The van was comfortable and Camille (?) was delightlful. The actual biking was less than 2 hours of the total 6 hours. A tour of the chateau at Chambord, lunch on our own in the village, than ack to Amboise in the van. For $421, we had anticipated riding bikes from Chambord to Amboise, as the title implies, with a guide. We cancelled much less expensive EBike rentals and chateau tours, with which we could have done the same, to do this tour. regretted our choice.
Bonjour, Thank you for your feedback, we are sorry to read that you did not enjoy this tour. Unfortunately, it is not possible to cycle directly from Amboise to Chambord. That's over 100km round trip, which is far too much for most of our customers who are looking for shorter, more relaxed bike tours. Our tours are designed to be enjoyable and to allow you to discover our beautiful region while having fun on your bike. That's why we start out in a van to do the dangerous road part, before taking the bikes and pedaling through the forest to discover our beautiful Chateau de Chambord. Have a nice day!
Wonderful experience. Dimitri our tor guide was fantastic! Very knowledgeable and so much fun!! Highly recommend!!!

For those looking for an experience that combines culture, humor and surprises, look no further! Dimitri, the guide we had during our visit to the Château de Chambord and its region exceeded all our expectations (cultivated, funny and creative). His passion for the history of the region and his energy were contagious. It is an excellent activity to captivate and entertain the whole family. Thank you very much Dimitri!
Merci pour votre excellent commentaire, nous sommes ravis de voir que vous avez passé un très bon moment en compagnie de notre guide Dimitri. Nous espérons vous revoir bientôt. N’hésitez pas à nous rendre visite dans d’autres régions : Bordeaux, la Provence, la Champagne ou la Bourgogne. Cordialement, A La Française Loire Valley Team
Sophie was a wonderful guide with lots of knowledge and with an awesome personality. First of all, we were picked up in a huge van, and it was only three of us. Then we were transported to a chateau where we began our e-bike tour to Chambord. We loved the trails and the fact that no cars were on our paths. It was a really memorable adventure!
