Fantastic Trip with Lillia as a guide/driver
MarieJosee_M
, Jul 2022
This was a fabulous trip and worth the expense. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed visiting the castles, the village of Amboise, and the drive through the Loire Valley. Our guide Lillia was fantastic! Very knowledgeable, funny, caring and kind. Such positive energy she had throughout the day…always smiling! She is also an amazing driver! Safe and very skilled. The van was very comfortable and the AC was working very well…it was a hot day so that was really appreciated. She also had great recommendations for lunch in the village of Amboise. We highly recommend this day trip from Paris and hope you get Lillia as a guide/driver. Doing this trip in a small group (we were 8) is a must!

A wonderful experience!
Karen_S

This was a great way to see some amazing places, particularly if you are heading out from home base in Paris! The only problem is that we could have used a few more hours of exploring, though we definitely had enough time to see nearly everything. The van was comfortable, the driver/guide knowledgeable and personable, and I learned some new wine preferences. Highly recommend!

Loire Valley with Lillian
Melissa_M
, Jul 2022
We were lucky enough to get Lillian as our tour guide for the day. She was so entertaining! Her collection of stories and amazing history facts brought all three castles to life. Her recommendations for lunch were spot on. And her driving skills were so impressive! She had great parking spots for each tour and knew right where to take us. I wouldn’t have dared to try and navigating the tiny streets of the towns we visited. We throughly enjoyed our experience with Lillian, and love our new friendship with her. We booked through Viator. The whole process was incredibly easy and worth the cost. We will definitely be booking with them again.

Must see if you like Castles!!!
Tamara_E
, Jul 2022
Our tour was a small group of six (comfortable van with great AC). I highly recommend small group because you cover so much of the Loire Valley in a Day. The castles were amazing and the history was interesting. It was so nice to not have 25 + in a group and it take forever to move through one castle. The guide gives you all the history and info about the castle and you walk through on your own so you see what interests you. Perfect tour for a day and the pace was not exhausting or too fast. You have plenty of time at each place.

Proactively choose with who you want to ride!
Tim_D
, Jul 2022
The castles were amazing, even those under restoration. The grouping and guide makes a huge difference. You spend so much time in the small van together that where you sit and who with, can really affect your level of enjoyment. Be proactive and tell your guide who you want to ride with. Our organizer did a very poor job.

Fantastic tour with Nisa
Skylar_G
, Jun 2022
What a lovely tour with Nisa! It was a long day, but we really enjoyed getting to see the three châteaux--each one had a different character, and the scenery was gorgeous. Nisa was very friendly and knowledgeable, and we appreciated that the tour was limited to a small group. We also enjoyed seeing the charming town of Amboise. It was nice getting out of the city, and this was definitely a highlight of our trip--would highly recommend it!

I had an amazing time touring around the Loire Valley and its three castles! Despite having a storm in the last castle, our tour guide, Lilia made it a fun adventure! I highly recommend her! She's amazing, full of energy, and genuinely cares about her group.

The tour was as expected, which was fun and informative. But what made it extra special was having Lucy as our tour guide. She had a wonderful sense of humor along with an amazing command of the history behind each chateau. She wove four groups of strangers into a warm group of new friends.
