Chambord is the most majestic of the Châteaux you will see, boasting massive medieval towers perfectly blended with Renaissance elegance. Set in 13,000 acres of parkland this former royal residence represents the pinnacle of France’s 16th century architectural revolution, and the double helix spiral staircase at the heart of the Château, attributed to Leonardo Di Vinci is simply mind-blowing.

We enjoyed an all day excursion, touring 3 Chateaus with a wine tasting and quick lunch in Amboise. Our tour guide, Oliver, kept our tour moving at a nice pace so we could see as much as possible. He was friendly and very knowledgeable, answering all our questions.

Long day but magical. Really enjoyed getting to see the castles, different styles and decor. There is a lot of walking involved so not great if you’re out of shape or limited mobility. So much history and architecture. We had Olivier as our guide and driver, really knows his stuff and was fun to chat with.

This was a wonderful tour - highly recommended! It's a long day out from Paris but well worth the time. Our guide, Jomar, was great - very knowledgeable, if a big stickler for time! This was somewhat surprising given that we had a completely private tour and that it was just our family that needed to move from site to site. A little more flexibility would have been welcomed. It could have been that he wanted to avoid crowds and traffic, which we did manage to do and were thankful for. We also appreciated that he did leave time for us at the end to visit a wine bar and relax for a few minutes at the end of the day prior to the ride back to Paris. Merci beaucoup, Jomar !

The guide is just a driver. He did not go with us inside the castles. The castles themselves were amazing. I beleive it should be just 2 castles instead of 3. Not enough time to actually relax a bit and enjoy
