The three castles chosen showed different types, conditions and current ownerships to give you a broader background. Our guide was very knowledgeable and personable. I was glad that we had not signed up for the lunch as we had more time on the grounds with our packed lunch. When traveling in the future, I will look for Viator's offerings.

Definitely a great day trip from Paris. The tour guide was informative and helpful, and the castles were spectacular. Only problem was we had to leave the last castle just before "the hounds were fed" - supposed to be a highlight. But only a minor quibble!

It was simply amazing and made me realize all the more why I love France! The guides were so great, informational and energized that I ended up also booking two subsequent tours to Giverney and Versailles and Bruges, also unbelievable!

This tour was excellent. The castles were wonderful and the guide was most informative. Lunch in a small country village was very good. Highly recommended.

Amazing, no words to describe the beauty of the castles. Worth every single penny of the price, a MUST do experience, Europe's top 5 places in my opinion.

Only complaint was the terrible lunch! Don't get this option, choose to purchase your own from one of the local delis. The lunch is pathetic and the staff very rude, choose something more 'French' with friendly staff! The hostess was absolutely brilliant and a great source of knowledge.

Lovely trip, though the multitude of languages was a tad annoying and some of the foreign language guides were less than fluent. Three castles in one day is impressive and not at all simple to coordinate, well done.

I wish the lunch would have been scheduled not at Cheverny. This is the most beautiful castle and did not have time to see it properly due to scheduled lunch and the fact that the admission ticket does not allow for re-entrance. Other than that detail it was a wonderful experience. The guides are excellent.

The castles are gorgeous, but I think that our tour guide could have been more personable and communicative.

I liked this trip. Fortunately the weather was good, as it was rainy before and after. The guides were perfect and I have fulfilled my dream to see these castles now.

The tour was nice and the castles are very pretty. The lunch stop at the 2nd castle Chenoncheau was odd in that if you purchased the lunch option you went into the nearby quaint town and left the castle grounds. That left little time to explore Chenoncheau after the escorted tour. It's your choice if that is a big deal or not.
