Paris · LOIRE VALLEY CASTLES DAY TRIPS
Chambord, Chenonceau and Amboise are two hours south and impossible to do all three well in a day. These 15 say which pair each trip picks, what entry is covered, and whether lunch and a tasting are in the price.

“Timewise the trip was organized good but in the small group of 7 people this so called English speaking tour has 3 different groups-beside 4 of us who speak English there were 2 persons who spoke only Spanish and one more person who spoke only French. The guide has to repeat the same information in 3 languages. We think i is unacceptable. We purchased the tour that was advertised as English speaking tour. We will not recommend this tour to our friends and families.”

See Chambord, Chenonceau, and Cheverny on a long but rewarding Loire Valley day trip from Paris with hotel pickup.
“Could use more commentary from the guide, not too much time to explore the places that the guide haven't showed us. On the way back we didnt have a stop for bathroom (4 hours drive) was kind of not nice. Should be mentioned that the drop off and pick off is a Taxi and not the actual bus for people that don't know. Overall was a great experience”

See Chambord, Amboise, and Chenonceau from Paris in one long day, with castle entries, minibus transport, and a bakery lunch.
“Really good tour guide and enough time to see all the castles (depends if you really like to explore every rooms, then probably you would need more time). The downside was the lunch, it was advertised as "in a french boulangerie" but we went to a bakery chain that you can find it all over Europe and London... maybe next time it would be better to go to a REAL boulangerie. Overall good experience and knowledgeable tour guide”
Compare three Loire Valley chateaux, seven local wines, private transport, guide support, and the tradeoffs of this long day from Paris.
“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.”
