Step on board a comfortable minibus with air conditioning and relax as you listen to your driver-guide tell you all about the Loire Valley and the castles that you will visit on the way. Your first stop is Chambord, an iconic representation of Renaissance architecture that houses a famous double helix staircase designed by Leonardo da Vinci. Explore the colossal castle at your own leisure and take da Vinci’s staircase to the castle's terrace, which offers phenomenal panoramic views of the 13,000-acre-large estate.
Next, you will visit the Royal Amboise Castle, a stunning castle on the banks of the Loire River. Admire late Gothic and early Renaissance architecture and furniture, stroll through the royal gardens, and pay respects to Leonardo da Vinci, who rests in the castle’s chapel. You will have time for a lunch break in the village at the foot of the castle. You will also get to enjoy a wine tasting before leaving for Chenonceau.
Afterward, visit the castle's cellar for an unforgettable wine-tasting experience, savoring a robust red, a refreshing rosé, and a crisp white (only available from April to October).
