Not as signed up for

Compared to our guide with another company the day before and with the young man from the same company the next day, we have to say this was a 3. It was also somewhat annoying to have the day broken up for us and rushed because the company decided to do 2 half day groups. My husband and I signed up for the entire day and lunch on our own at Villandry wasn’t possible unless we cut our visit there short. If it’s a full day tour, it should be just that.

Operator response

Dear Laura, Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the experience didn’t fully meet your expectations. Our full-day tours are intentionally structured to combine morning and afternoon half-day groups, which allows guests to experience a wider itinerary while keeping group sizes manageable and offering flexibility throughout the day. We understand that expectations can vary, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts, which help us continue improving the experience. Sincerely, A la Française Team

Great day!

It is a wonderful tour. The Chateaus and gardens are great. The tour of their family owned and dug wine caves at the first, smaller winery was fascinating. Our guide Dimitri was knowledgeable and personable, I highly recommend.

Chateaus and wine, what could be better?

Very relaxing tour with wonderful guide Alex. The wine stops, one at cave were, were very interesting and complete with a selection of beautiful French wines that represent the area. The gardens at Villandry were nothing short of stunning
