Itinerary

Admission included120 min

The first stop of the day is the Château de Chambord; A perfect example of French Renaissance architecture, this remarkable edifice was built by King Francis I between 1519 and 1547 and is the largest chateau in the Loire Valley. Who designed this masterpiece is still in dispute, and with contenders like Leonardo da Vinci, his views certainly won't disappoint.

Admission included120 min

Then, the charming Château de Chenonceau, a real fairy tale castle picturesquely located on the Cher, its history and its character have been shaped by the women who lived there. Site of France's very first fireworks display, Chenonceau is truly a favorite.

Admission not included120 min

The last stop will be at the Château de Cheverny, a 17th century beauty very tastefully furnished and with marvelous gardens. Enjoy free time for lunch (not included) during the day either in Chenonceau or Chambord. You will be back in Paris in the evening.

Best ever!

Fantastic trip! Our driver was great! He was punctual, drove well, and provided a comfortable car. He took us to three sidferent styles of Chateaus and provided a wealth of historical information for both the Loire Valley and Paris. We would take another tour with him anytime!

The perfect castle vacation tour. Packed with kindness, flexibility and castles. Loved it loved it loved it!!!

This is the perfect day if you want to see fairy castles and palaces. What really made our tour were the two wonderful people that took us to all three places and made sure we had everything we could need. Kevin and his coworker were so attentive and helpful. They had our tickets for us to each place. Kevin also sent us messages on what’s app prior to picking us up so we knew exactly what he was doing and had two sets of tickets before we ever got into the nice Tesla he drove. Even though this was an “on your own” tour we had great conversations throughout our transport. They had a lot of information for us. We couldn’t be happier with their kindness and friendly personalities. We were even able to get information about a restaurant that only serves gluten free foods. I am gluten free and this was so exciting for me. They knew of the catacombs and other places that we might want to go to on other days. They suggested restaurants around the corner from our hotel. So helpful. If this isn’t glowing enough for our driver and helper, I will try to add some neon lights and music. Seriously one of the best ever in 15 years of traveling and taking hundreds of tours. The first castle was Chambord, so beautiful, a classic castle, so much history and I felt like I was in a fairy tale. Huge spiral staircases and parade halls. Tapestries and period furnishings. We were at this one early and there were no crowds at all. We felt like we could explore and enjoy as much as we liked. Kevin’s flexibility made it feel like we had all day. It was so relaxing. The second was Chenonceau. Again, Tapestries in every room, paintings, furniture, amazing sites and beautiful gardens in all of the castles and chateaus. The third was Cheverny. Designed by women, it has a wing that extends across a nice medium river. We didn’t have the opportunity, but we would have loved to spend a whole day there and paddle small boats on that river and swim. At each one, there were cafes with very decent food options. And don’t forget the best part. Our people who provided great transportation and information as well as the tickets were just perfect. They made our tour what we needed it to be- packed with beauty and kindness. The perfect vacation tour.

Great Way to See Popular Chateaux

This was a great way to see three popular castles in the Loire in one day. Our guide, Yasser, was engaging and very knowledgeable about the Loire and the chateaux. He kept us on schedule, but also gave us some flexibility on how much time we spent at each place and in a couple of stopovers along the way. The van was comfortable and very clean, and all we had to do was show up. At each chateaux, Yasser handled everything, including setting us up with audio tours. This is a much better way to enjoy these beautiful places than on a larger tour.

Want to see the chateaus? This is the tour for you

It was the best day. Our tour guide picked us up from our hotel and escorted us to the entrance of every castle as well as picked up our audio guides. Our guide was extremely personable and made a long day an enjoyable one. If you are looking to spend the day exploring castles this is the best one. I will recommend them to everyone.

Great day trip, highly recommend Anas

The Loire Valley trip was a highlight of our holiday. Anas was excellent, picking us up from our hotel, ensuring we had enough breaks during the drive, driving through beautiful French towns, and walking us to the entrance to each chateau to ensure we got to the right place with tickets and audio guides. He was well prepared, with the perfect amount of conversation, very good English, we really couldn’t have picked a better guide. We also chose this trip as most of the other tours didn’t include these 3 specific chateau, and each was amazing in their own way. Chamborde was large and impressive, Chenonceau was stunningly beautiful, and Cheverny was full of character especially for those who love tin tin. Highly recommend booking a trip with Anas.

The stories behind each...

The stories behind each château were very interesting. Seeing them in person brought the story to life.
