Loire Valley Small Group Tour Of Chenonceau, Chambord & Wine Tasting
What your day looks like
Pick up : 9:00 AM Tours Tourist Office or 9:30AM Amboise Tourist Office. Guided Tour of the Chateau of Chenonceau: The unique architecture of the Chateau of Chenonceau makes it one of the most exquisite Chateaux in the Loire Valley. Nicknamed "The Ladies Chateau", the castle of Chenonceau is related to important French women such as Diane de Poitiers and Catherine de Medici. The magnificent Renaissance Gardens around it make it even more spectacular. Les Caves Ambacia, the Loire Valley Wine Experience: Sensorial visit and Vintages' Odyssey followed by a wine tasting class led by a sommelier (5 wines including 1 vintage Vouvray wine). We highly recommend having lunch at Caves Ambacia: Caves Ambacia welcomes you in its restaurant "l'Oppidum" where you will discover typical Loire Valley products such as Cheeses, Delicatessen, and Fish. You will be delighted by the view on the Loire River! Guided tour of the Chateau of Chambord: Drive to the Estate of Chambord, a national game reserve as large as the city of Paris. The Chateau de Chambord (guided tour) is a unique monument because of its architecture and proportions. Leonardo da Vinci probably took part in the conception of the project. With more than 400 rooms and its double spiral staircase, the Chambord is a highlight of the Loire Valley. Drop-off is at 06:00 PM at the Tours Tourist Office or 06:30 PM at the Amboise Tourist Office.

What travelers are saying
Killian did a wonderful job of keeping us entertained throughout the whole experience.
WE loved this tour from start to finish! Audrey was exceptional!
Excellent tour! Our guide was fantastic—knowledgeable, friendly and a good story teller. We enjoyed both chateaus and the wine cave experience was very fun. We got to taste some great wines. Definitely recommend having lunch there. If you have time in your itinerary, is a great day trip that’s just a pleasant train ride from Paris.
