“Private drive to Fountainebleau and Vaux Le Vicomte was a wonderful day. This is one of the few tours that picks up and drops off at your hotel which is a definite plus. Yasser did a great job and escorted us into both sites to obtain our audio guides and get us headed in the right direction. Time at each site was adequate for us to complete the audio guide and also have time to explore on our own. Highly recommend both sites as they are beautiful and play an important role in history. The new audio guide for Vaux Le Vicomte was amazing and interactive, nice that they are…”

Review this private Loire Valley day trip from Paris, with Chambord, Blois, Chenonceau, Cheverny, private transport, and practical booking advice.

“We booked this tour a couple weeks in advance and received numerous updates from TripAdvisor reminding us of it. Come the morning of the tour, no one showed up. The tour operator texted us later in the day to say he never received the info from Viator. The good news is that TripAdvisor processed the refund. The bad news, of course, is that we didn’t get the tour we looked forward to. Our takeaway is to book directly with operators and don’t do business with TripAdvisor.”
