Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Loire Valley, Loire Valley
Marvel at the Loire Valley's opulent châteaux and taste its famous locally-made wine during this full-day tour from Paris.
Duration: 2 hours
Stop At: Chateau de Chambord, le Chateau, 41250, Chambord France
From Paris, you’ll head first to Château de Chambord. Disney fans will find this castle’s turrets familiar; it was the inspiration for the castle in ‘Beauty and the Beast’. Though originally conceived as a royal hunting lodge, it was built to a scale that must be seen to be believed. You’ll learn all about the castle’s captivating history from your guide, before getting your own chance to explore. Climb a staircase supposedly designed by Da Vinci; enjoy spectacular turret-framed rooftop views; glimpse wild deer around the grounds; and work up an appetite for the next stop.
Duration: 1 hour 15 minutes
Stop At: Blois, Blois, Loir-et-Cher, Centre-Val de Loire
Having worked up an appetite, we'll get back on the bus and on to our next stop - the quaint town of Blois, where you’ll get some free time to enjoy lunch in one of the restaurants located around the beautiful and vibrant Square Louis XII.
Duration: 1 hour 45 minutes
Stop At: Chateau de Chenonceau, 37150 Chenonceaux France
Last but not least is a visit to the elegant Château de Chenonceau for wine tasting. The chapel, bedrooms and magnificent vaulted kitchens are still furnished and decorated from times gone by, showing off the castle’s many sweeping stone carvings. Don’t miss the impressive main hall, which spans the river Cher, or the gardens cultivated by Diane de Poitiers and Catherine de Medici – two of the famous owners that earned Chenonceau the nickname ‘the Ladies’ Château’. After a guided tour, you’ll have a choice: continue exploring, or indulge in a second wine tasting in the castle’s vaulted wine cellar.
Three uniquely beautiful castles, good food and wine, all amid the scenery of the Loire Valley: this tour is a feast for the senses.

One of the highlights of my trip to Paris. It was nice to break up city excursions with this day trip. Our tour guide, Raymond, was extremely helpful and attentive. I would highly recommend this tour!

The guide was very well informed about the history of the Chateaus and very kind to give us tips to visit several turistics places in Paris
The punctuality was also excellent.
The only bad thing was the smell coming from the toilet. When I complained they used Febreze. I think this is something to check before the trip star.

Our guides Saeed and Raymond were exceptional. I especially enjoyed Saeed’s commentary. A long day but it’s well planned and gave us a nice break from the Paris hustle. Chateaus are beautiful and the wine tasting was nice.

Fantastic places, but not enough time at each stop, making it hard for older adults or people with disabilities to follow the group and enjoy the stops. The wines were good, but we expected to taste more wine. It's a good schedule for two days with a smaller group.
