Château du Clos Lucé in Amboise, France, was Leonardo da Vinci's residence from 1516 to 1519. The castle showcases his inventions and sketches, with gardens featuring models of his machines. It's a cultural center with exhibitions and interactive activities that reflect da Vinci's genius.

we had a great day! Our guide Anna was very knowledgeable, gave us lots of interesting information about each castle, and the driver Alex was a super driver. The wine tasting at Plous et Fils was also an interesting experience, the Loire wine is definitely different from what we have ;). Thanks for a wonderful day
Thank you for the lovely review! Weʼre so glad you enjoyed the day - Annaʼs insights, Alexʼs smooth driving, and a taste of Loire wines make for a perfect combo. Cheers to new experiences!
We booked the tour with friends a week before arriving in Paris. The car arrived on time, and our driver and guide Ivan was very kind and pleasant. He asked if the temperature in the car was comfortable for us, if we needed more water, and how we were feeling. Along the way, he told us about the castles, their history, and shared interesting facts. We visited all the Loire Valley castles we had always dreamed of seeing. The last castle, which was built over the water, especially amazed us. A surprise awaited us at a 16th-century winery, which had not only preserved its traditions and ancient winemaking methods but also gave us a full tour of the wine cellars and organized a tasting. I give it 5/5 — our best experience!
Thank you for your review. We are very happy that you liked everything!
