Great excursion! Guide was punctual and safe driver. Gave us a wonderful overview of key interest points. Really enjoyed the lunch at private chateau. I just wish we could spend more time at Villandry and Chambord. The excursion to Villandry covers only garden portion so if you want to see inside chateau pay extra 5 euro and go. Strongly recommend. Cami our guide was very helpful. I must complement another guide Dymitri. Extremely knowledgeable about history and had a fun way to share the information. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️ to him 😀.

The tour was excellent! Sophie was friendly, knowledgeable and very clear. She made sure all of our needs and expectations were met. We had a great time and would gladly travel with her again.

Exceptional. Well organised. The guide was fantastic and even though it wasn't expected he spoke to us in Italian! Thanks Nicolas.

Wonderful meeting people from other countries and sharing the day and experience with them.

Great guide and balance between guided tour and self-guided time.
