Called us 5 minutes after we were to meet our guide just to tell us the tour was canceled. They offered options but they were no suitable

We had the most incredible day biking to Chateau Chambord! Our guide Dimitri was fun, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic. We rode through the forest on our way to the Chateau. Once there we were in awe of the views from our bikes as we got closer. We enjoyed lunch on the lawn near the beautiful gardens with a glass of Cheverny wine. After lunch Dimitri guided us into the chateau and to the garden overlook for the best views before giving us free time to explore. The bikes were easy to ride and fast. This day was the highlight of our trip to the Loire Valley!!

What fun my wife and I had taking the Ebike tour to Château Chambord! We are both in our 60s and never ridden an electric bike before. Our guide, Dimitri, was patient and gracious in teaching us how to use the eBikes safely. After a few practice runs, we were on our way to Château Chambord and boy, what a sight! It’s the grandest of chateaus and being on eBikes allowed us to see the various views of it. Thank you to Dimitri for making this a fun and informative day!

Enjoyed the bike ride through the forest on our way to the castle. Our guide, Sophie was very knowledgeable on the history of Chambord and made the tour very interesting. She was engaging with a good sense of humour! We enjoyed a delicious lunch before riding back to the family Chateau.

A fun ride through the countryside along with a tour of stunning Chambord. Our guide Sophie was charming and very attentive to the group. She was so great about pointing out good spots for pictures (and taking quite a few for us!). Would recommend!

Ala Francaise was very efficient, with a comfortable van and a most knowledgeable drover / guide. I highly recommend visiting. Loire Chateaus with a train ride from Paris.

We had a an absolutely amazing day bikeriding through the forest in Chambord. Dimitri was very knowledgeable and took us through the history of Chateau of Chambord in a friendly and engaging manner. Lots of free time to take photos. The bike ride itself was also very enjoyable, and not to difficult. Big thanks to Dimitri who made us feel very comfortable, and took very good care of us.. Even though, we didn't speak much French. All in all, a perfect day in the Loire Valley! Highly recommend!
