★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 38 reviews · 12 hours (approx.) Top rated

Review of a private Loire Valley tour from Paris visiting Chambord, Amboise, Chenonceau, and a seven-wine tasting.

“Castles were interesting. The guide wasn't very knowledgeable. We nice person but wasn't really providing any useful information (basically reading off google). The wine tasting was standing at the bar of a small winery and not at all what was expected for the cost of the trip. I would look at other tour companies for the price of this trip.”
