Fabulous day. Driver was friendly, great company, knowledgeable and informative. Lunch was delicious. Pickup essential for such a long day. Chateaux were beautiful. Amazing architecture, art, gardens. Highly recommended. A holiday highlight. Great value.

Our guide was awesome! The area was beautiful even in the dead of winter. Well worth the money.

First, we had an absolutely fabulous guide knowledgeable, funny and energetic-what a pleasure! The up early was so worth having the entire day to wander and wonder about what we were seeing. The three chateaux were expertly chosen with great chances to explore and learn in whatever way we chose audio, video, books in the bookstore. And the guide gave suggestions then let us choose what would be best for the time and our interests. Also, we had a delicious meal in a fancy traditional French restaurant. An all around excellent experience, would recommend it to everyone!

Loved the history and architecture. The guide was very quiet. It would have been nice to have a tour of the castles, but I understand there are work safety limitations. The food was OK but mass produced.

A fine day. Minivan tours cost, but they really pay off. Always meet interesting people on the trip. We had a fine guide. Lunch was the best we've had on one of these tours.

A great tour. Guide very informative and a good driver - definitely a plus. Three very different castles with very different histories. Very enjoyable day.

The tour guide was the best ever, very knowledgeable, very patient and an excellent driver. I loved the tours and he gave us plenty of time to walk around.

A great selection of chateaux from 3 different genres. Our guide was pleasant and efficient, and the van very comfortable. I didn't enjoy the lunch, but it was a good example of local fare that I never would have ordered otherwise. Definitely worth the time and money--much better than if we had attempted to do it on our own!

Brilliant tour! Very competent guide who gave us a thorough explanation of the historical background of the castles. Be aware that the tours within the castles are unguided and we had to hurry to be on time because there is so much to see! Lunch was excellent!

The tour was very memorable and so much to see. The guide was informative and very helpful. Travelling with a small group was the best way to visit and learn about these historical sites.

If you are going to be in the area for a short amount of time and want to see as much as you can without wasting time, this is a great way to do it! You don't have to worry about getting lost, you learn more than if you were visiting on your own, & you can knock out 3 castles in one day. Yes, the time at the castles is limited, but I think it was adequate to see everything you need to see. Lunch was very good, and the tour guide was awesome. I almost didn't book this trip, and we are so glad that we did. Definitely recommend it to my friends.
