On this excursion to the Chambord and Chenonceau châteaux, you’ll discover two of France's most beautiful castles. The Loire Valley and its stunning gardens await!

Day Trip Details

We’ll meet at the Tours or Amboise tourist office at the scheduled time, ready to begin an unforgettable tour of two of France's most legendary châteaux. Our first stop? Le Château de Chenonceau!

During the drive, you’ll enjoy views of charming villages and the beautiful landscapes of the Loire Valley. From the moment we arrive at Chenonceau, it will be clear why it is the second most visited castle in the country.

Led by your guide’s fascinating insights, we’ll tour the castle's rooms filled with period decor and paintings that transport you back to the days of the French royalty. We’ll also take a stroll through the castle's magnificent gardens.

If you choose the lunch option, we will take you to the charming private Château de Villesavin. There, you’ll enjoy a delicious homemade meal paired with a glass of local wine, followed by free time to explore the grounds at your own pace.

Our next stop is the Château de Chambord, an architectural and historical masterpiece in the heart of the Loire Valley. Your guide will ensure an engaging and fun visit, selecting the most iconic rooms to explore and sharing unforgettable stories.

After uncovering the secrets of these enchanting castles, we’ll return to the starting points in Amboise or Tours, where we’ll say our goodbyes after a total of 8 to 9.5 hours.
