  • Step into the splendor of the Loire Valley on a full-day castle tour, where Renaissance masterpieces, royal history, and regional wine come together in one memorable experience.

    Getting started

    Meet your driver-guide and board a comfortable air-conditioned minibus for a relaxed journey through the Loire Valley. As you travel, hear engaging commentary about the region and the castles on your itinerary, setting the scene for a day of history, architecture, and scenic beauty.

    What to expect

    Your first stop is Chambord, one of the Loire Valley’s most iconic castles and a striking symbol of Renaissance architecture. Explore the vast château at your own pace and climb the famous double-helix staircase, associated with Leonardo da Vinci, before heading up to the terrace for sweeping views over the immense estate. Continue to Royal Amboise Castle, beautifully set above the Loire River, where you can admire its blend of late Gothic and early Renaissance design, wander through the royal gardens, and visit the chapel where Leonardo da Vinci is buried. You’ll also have free time for a lunch break in the village below the castle. Before heading onward, enjoy a wine tasting that adds a flavorful local touch to the day. The experience concludes with a visit to Chenonceau, where from April to October you can head to the castle cellar for an unforgettable tasting of regional wines, including a bold red, a crisp white, and a refreshing rosé.
