Great day - we didn't choose the lunch option and not much in that small village available. We finally found a small pizza place and it was delicious, but had a serious language barrier.

Was a big day but well worth it; tour guide and driver very professional.

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.

This was a big bus tour with 27 people and 4 guides. It was a little complicated at times.

It was great. I would have liked to have been able to spend more time at each but it would have meant missing one.

The tour of the castles is enjoyable and interesting. This tour in on a large bus jam packed with at least 50 visitors, many of them sneezing and coughing. My first tour of the castles was in a small minivan with around eight total visitors, and that was much more enjoyable for us. I inadvertently selected this large bus tour thinking it was the minivan. Nonetheless, it is enjoyable. But if you prefer individual attention, go with the minivan!

Certainly tiring, but SO worth it.

The bus was packed and uncomfortable, with the AC on you could not hear the guides. The group was too large and the microphone system was horrible when we went into the castles. People were late back to the bus and it effected everyone's experience.
