Beautiful journey to the gardens

5.00If you like gardens you will be in the right place. Villandry is a spectacle. The other side of the view, i.e., to the castle Azay le Rideau, is well worth the TB

5.00Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable about the two sites we visited as well as a safe driver. We were in good hands, and she even built in time for us to get some lunch.

5.00The gardens of Villandry are gorgeous and extensive. Take the time to see them fully even if you end up skipping lunch.

5.00First of all, we were glad that the tour was in a smaller 8 passenger van rather than a large mega bus tour. Chloe, our tour guide, was fluent in several languages and very informed about the interesting information at each stop. She was very delightful and friendly! We felt like we covered a lot of ground in the Loire Valley area in a short amount of time. We would definitely book another tour with her in the future! Bravo!

5.00Beautiful locations to visit & our guide “Dimitri”, was a real character. We forgot his name & as he reminded us strongly of Gino the Italian TV chef, that’s what we called him. Full of info, great sense of humour & really interactive with us & the other couple.
Super

5.00It is a well organised tour. Our driver&guide Clovie was very enthusiastic and gave interesting information. It is enough time both for the tour and some free time. Both visited places were worth visiting.
Fascinating morning outside of Tours.
