Our tour experience was very enjoyable overall. The guide was kind, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about sharing the history and culture of the region. She did an excellent job keeping the group on schedule and was also a very safe and considerate driver, which made the day feel well-organized and relaxed. While I appreciated the detailed commentary and insights, I personally would have preferred to spend a bit more time exploring the châteaux and their beautiful gardens rather than focusing on some of the smaller details. Still, it was a memorable and well-run tour that offered a great introduction to the area.

Long day. Didn’t love Chateau Chambord (a bit tacky compared to other chateaus) but had a wonderful trip.

Dimitri is an excellent guide. On time, understandable, great grasp of history, and fine sense of humor. We learned many things about the times, the culture and beliefs. Excellent lunch in a traditional setting. Wonderful day!

Our guide, Dimitri, was great. Didn't get bogged down with lots of details but explained things in a way that made it completely understandable. The 3 stops were different enough to be interesting. Lunch was great.

The tour was very well conducted by Agatha, showing and explaining with nice humor all the important sites. The lunch was very fresh and chateaux authentic. All in all, a very enjoyable experience

Full day of riding and walking. Many steps to climb in chateaux. It was a wonderful experience to see them. Having someone drive and be your guide so you could relax was great.
