What a fabulous day we had, the weather was gorgeous & the Castles were amazing, the tour was worth every penny we spent on it, would fully recommend this tour.

This was a must-do on our return trip to Paris. We could not fit it in back in 2022 and made it a priority this trip. So glad we did. Our tour guide, Karim, was fantastic, and made our group feel very welcomed. The day was well-paced, with visits to three castles, and wine tasting, and lunch in Ambois. There was plenty of time at each site to take time and explore. The transportation was very comfortable. We have taken several tours with Blue Fox through the years. They run an excellent program.

Excellent day trip from Paris. Certainly worth the full day from Paris. Beautiful Castles and great driver/guide. Very comfortable experience.

It was amazing seeing the castles. It was a very long day, long drive from Paris to the Loire Valley, but worth it. The only disappointment was the wine tasting. The amount of wine in the glass for each tasting was barely enough for a sip. Not much to see, smell or sip. Worst wine tasting I've ever had.

We had Timothy as our guide and he was fantastic! Knowledge, helpful, funny, and made the whole experience for us!

This tour was amazing, all the stops were stunning. Though you might want to grab a coffee or snack at the Cafe where you picked up from.

We enjoyed the tour very much.May I recommend only to add 20 min.more time for lunch in the second castle and take it from visiting of the first one. All the rest was perfect.

This was a phenomenal experience. It is a long day but was so worth it. Our tour guide Valeria was amazing. She was funny entertaining and so considerate of everyone. She made sure everyone was comfortable, had everything they needed, and offered stops for bathroom whenever needed. She checked in frequently with everyone. The castles were a perfect selection of three very different castles. One wine tasting is included but you can also do wine tastings at two of the other castles as well one for a small fee and the other free as well. The included wine tasting is informal which I have seen negatively impact other people’s reviews but again it is not the main focus of the trip. Valeria and the store owner were phenomenal and gave brief info about wines and I personally thought it was a fun little add on to the day. Be prepared to walk a lot!

The three castle tour was excellent - Serena was an excellent diver and a wonderful guide! The lunch break in Ambrose was fun as was the wine Tasting. This was our 2nd time taking this tour as the first time a few years ago was also very good and we wanted our friends to experience this tour!
