My wife and I were celebrating her birthday and our wedding anniversary. We took the full day tour to the Lorie Valley to visit three Chateaus. Valerie is very knowledgeable and explained the history of all three in a way that it brought the past to life. Also, Roman got us to all the different locations safely and made sure we had plenty of snacks and drinks. We would recommend Valerie and Roman to anyone looking to book their next tour.

Chenonceau and wine tasting were highlights. But all 3 castles were unique and interesting. Wouldn’t have wanted to miss any. Valerie was a knowledgeable, professional, and engaging guide. Beckham, our driver, got us around safely and timely. Long, wonderful day spent in charming Loire valley. Book it!

Wonderful trip with Cyrus to the gorgeous Loire Valley. He was quite knowledgeable about all the castles and recommended an amazing restaurant in a small little village that was superb!
