An excellent day trip with personalized service
Richard_R
, Nov 2021
Traveling and taking tours fir nearly 40 years, and this day was among the tops. Guillaume was an excellent guide, the van was comfortable and the itinerary was perfect. It’s a full day, but well worth the price for such personalized service.

Good Tour-Skip the Wine
SusanW_V
, Oct 2021
This is the second time I have done this tour. Oliver, our guide, was great...a vast improvement over the last one! I did find our time to explore the buildings was a little rushed. I did not try the wine tasting but my friend found it a waste of time. I think the tour should arrange lunch reservations for the group to insure lunch is timely and available. I did not like the meeting point. As I usually travel alone, I would not like to have been dropped off there by my taxi to wait in the dark by myself. Perhaps a Bistro that is open for 24 hours might be a better idea. We were approached by 2 wanderers around the Arc de Triomphe, not scary but a bit unsettling.

Hi Susan, Thanks for taking the time to share your experience with others. I'm glad you enjoyed the tour overall. I'm sorry you didn't enjoy the wine tasting. The Loire Valley is a region famous for its Renaissance castles but also its wines. The short wine tasting is an opportunity to try out some of those local wines, it is not the main focus of this tour. We also wish you had more time to spend in the castles but this is a day trip from Paris and it is impossible to spend more time unless the tour (which is already very from 7AM to 8PM) would finish even later. The only way to spend more time would be to visit the Loire Valley for multiple days, our tour is designed as a Day Trip and only gives you a glimpse of what the region has to offer. We do not include the lunch in our tour as we feel that most of our clients like the idea to have the choice, not everyone likes the same type of food. The place where this tour meet in the morning (a café) usually opens at 6AM, that is why we chose it. Currently , because of Covid they sometimes open a bit later, we're sorry about that but there are no café in Paris open 24hrs a day. Regards, JB

Great day
Elizabeth_B

Great one day from Paris. A long day but really enjoyed seeing 3 different castles. I found the amount of time at each site adequate. Our guide, Olivia, really added to the experience with her knowledge of the sites, enthusiasm and professionalism throughout the construction delays on the way back into Paris.

3 Great French Chateaus!
Domenic_M
, Aug 2021
Well paced trip with a great guide. Had just enough time at each chateau to explore and see the many different rooms. If you spend too much time in the rooms you may not have much time in the gardens, so you just have to budget your time to focus on what is important to you.

Our least favorite tour
Steven_S
, Aug 2021
This was the least favorite of the many tours we have done with Viator. We were allotted 1 hour at Château de Chenonceau, which is by far the nicest of all of the castles and at a minimum we should have had 2 hours. The wine tasting on Amboise was skimpy and a needless waste of precious time. We arrived at Chateau Chambord less than an hour before closing time. Even though this castle is the largest it was not interesting but one hour is not enough time to see much. The driver let us off at the destinations but did not accompany us so we were wandering aimlessly with cumbersome head sets at every stop. I'm sure there are better tours to the Loire Valley.

Best French experience
HelenJ
, Mar 2020
We visited three lovely historic Châteaux and did wine tasting at a cute little shop. We also had lunch in a small cafe which had delicious authentic French food. I loved every minute! Our guide, Olivier, was wonderful! I loved this trip so much more than Versailles.
