This was a lovely introduction to the Loire Valley wines and Chateaux. Alex, our guide, who speaks English fluently, was the secret ingredient for a relaxing well balanced day. She is great fun, an experienced professional and has a wealth of knowledge of the region’s history, wine production and culture. But back to my comment about balance, if you want a deeper discussion Alex is happy to facilitate and participate on any tour related topics. Otherwise, Alex allow plenty of time for question, conversation, or quietly enjoying the gardens and grounds at the Chateaux, it was an enjoyable relaxing day. The wines were wonderful and well represented the range of Vouvray wines. The vehicle was nice and comfortable. The drive time between stops was not too long so the day had a good pace. Highly recommend this tour.Alex was our guide. Great personality and very knowledgeable. Beautiful countryside, the chateau’s were beautiful as were the gardens. Wines were very good, a great exposure to all of the presentations of chenin blanc Would definitely recommend.

Another day another chateau. We loved seeing the chateaux du jour each with a different flavor. We especially loved the incredible gardens of Villandry. Our afternoon of visiting two wineries in Vouvray was fun and informative as we sampled delicious wines of the region. D’mitri was very knowledgeable about everything we saw, not to mention personable. He took great care of us on our day together.This was a fantastic way to spend a day around the Loire Valley. Great mix of sightseeing and wine tasting. Chateau d'Islette was like something from a storybook and was a great unique spot for the lunch stop. Alex our tour guide was exceptional!

Wow, this was a speechless and amazing tour for my wife birthday in Loire Valley! Château de Villandry is stunning and we love the garden. We had our lunch in the beautiful Chateau de l'Islette and the owner is very friendly. We had a unique wine tasting experience in a cave (Cathelineau Cellars), where the owner told us interesting stories. The most memorable was tunnel digging by their family and finished by 5 glasses wine tasting of Vouvray. We also visited Marc Bredif, which is a very different wine cellar and we learned a lot about wine production, wrapping up with another 5 glasses of Vouvray. It won't be successful without Marion (our guide), who smiled all the times. She is professional and super helpful for us, more importantly she is knowledgeable. We have made a new friend in France. We highly recommend this tour to you in Amboise. You can sit back and enjoy wine tasting, understanding the wine making process in English with a great tour guide Marion!
