Overview

This day trip centers on the Loire Valley’s two most well-known castles, Château de Chambord and Château de Chenonceau, each linked to French royalty. The tour lasts about nine and a half hours and is conducted by an English-speaking driver-guide in an air-conditioned minivan. First, the guide leads a two-hour visit of Château de Chenonceau and its gardens, sharing details about the castle’s history and design. Next, the group visits Château de Villesavin, a family-owned private château, where a traditional French lunch is served inside the castle. After lunch, the tour continues with a two-hour guided visit of Château de Chambord. Throughout the day, the guide provides historical facts and anecdotes about the kings who lived in these castles. This itinerary offers panoramic views and a chance to see a less touristy private château alongside the two famous royal residences. The tour includes lunch, transport by air-conditioned minivan, and an English-speaking guide. Gratuities, hotel pickup and drop-off, and a French-speaking guide are not included. Participants should notify the operator of any dietary requirements when booking and arrive 5 to 10 minutes before departure at the specified meeting point. Pets are not allowed on the tour.
