Tours 2026 Calendar of Events

Very thorough, enjoyable tours of two amazing chateaus! Our guide was excellent and very knowledgeable!

We had a great half day visiting two chateaus today and a whole day yesterday. Flore was our Gide yesterday and Dorian today. Both had their own specialty knowledge of the are and history. I would travel again with either Dorian or Flore

You stand in the courtyard in awe of both chateaux.

Flying above the Loire Valley was a once in a lifetime experience! Kevin, Bruno, and Max were fabulous! I would do this again in a heartbeat!

Knowledgeable guide took us through the wine make process and explained well the many factors involved. The cellars are cool(both meanings) and the wine tasting at the end was interesting, portion control strict though. Outside seating with view over river was lovely, blazing row between chef and waitress just made the experience more French.

This was the most educational wine experience we’ve ever had and we’ve done wine tours, and tastings in many countries many times. This is well worth your time and money!

The opterater communicated meeting times and places clearly. We meet at the meeting location and were taken by van to the launch location. The ride out was in a nice van and the driver was pleasant. The balloon ride itself was magical and the balloon operator was excellent. He took us over fields, a river and a castle. Lowered the balloon to give everyone a great view. They accompanied the balloon with a drone occasionally and then provided opportunity to purchase a very reasonably priced package of photos and videos. The landing was a handled with grace and ease and they treated us to croissants and sparking grape juice(morning ride) in a lovely field after. Overall, a beautiful experience with a friendly and knowldgable crew.

This tour was a great way to make the most of my short time in the Loire Valley. Dimitri was an excellent guide and made the day both enjoyable and educational. I would recommend this tour for anyone who would like to get a good sample of what the Loire has to offer.

Thank you Hélèna for this visit which made us appreciate this charming place even more.

An enchanting estate, the guided tour was more than interesting, we spent a wonderful time there, not to mention the orange cake, a real delight😋 Highly recommended.

An idyllic day in the countryside and woods of Loire Valley. The two chateau were out of a storybook. Each has its own story and beauty. Be prepared for a good deal of walking and exploring. Our guide Charlene was very nice and knew a great deal about each place we visited. A little bonus was exploring Amboise and seeing resting place of Leonardo Da Vinci. If you’re staying in Tours this is a fantastic day trip.

Great experience! The guide, Dimitri, is very nice! He led the tour perfectly! Thank you to the team.

Really great day. Great guide. Lovely bike ride through the forest. Highly recommend!

Great tour. Smooth bikes, gorgeous scenery, and Dimitri kept the day fun and effortless. Learned a lot, ate well, and never felt rushed. One of the best ways to experience Chambord.

Our guide Arnaud was just incredible—he was so nice and generous with his time and information. We really understood the history of Tours now throughout the ages. Highly recommend

What better way to get acquainted with beautiful Tours than on a motorcycle and sidecar!? My husband and I took turns sitting in the sidecar as we cruised through the city and saw all the major sights! A comfortable ride… I’m 5’9” and had plenty of room to extend my legs. Just do it! Such fun !
