Excellent way to get out of the city and into the countryside. We visited 3 chateaus, of course chambord was the most beautiful and indulgent. It also allowed for the most wandering. The bus ride was easy. was able to sleep on the coach with no issue. We went into a village by one of the chateaus to have lunch... this was my wifes favorite thing we did in france. We didn't opt for the audio tour thing, we just did it all on our own. The guide knew her stuff and the driver was very professional.

Our tour guide was knowledgeable and made the day enjoyable. She easily handled our tour in English and Spanish. We learned a lot from her during the bus ride even though we chose the self guided option while at the chateaus. If I only had time for one castle, I would choose Chateau de Chenonceau because of the decor.

We just did it on our own. Got the ear pieces. The female tour guide on the bus was just too cheap to share her commentaries on the bus. She just whispered on those who got the guided tour. Too bad, we are 9 BIG TIPPERS.. Huge mistake. HUGE!

I misread the voucher due to differences in how European dates are printed versus American, so I thought our tour was 10/ 23. The guide for another tour told us we missed yesterday's tour but we might be able to get a refund. When the reminder message was sent Saturday I was on the Eiffel tower so I could not read it, and forgot about it later. Very sad.

The venues were good as expected.
The bus driver was to be putting it nicely was scary! Texting while driving, no seatbelt, flashing lights at other drivers, not professional at all.
We were disappointed that we didn’t have a guide that we thought we paid for, the description was misleading “multi lingual” guide was only to let us know when to get off the bus and when to be back.
Suggestion would be to have extra audio guides available for purchase on the bus. That would help make the tour more enjoyable.

My husband was impressed by the architecture of all the castles, Chambord being his favorite. Being on the grounds in person is more impactful than seeing it in pictures or documentaries.

Great trip even though last minute and the tour guides were great to accommodate our English speaking people.

We enjoyed the organisation of the trip and it kept to time well. The bus driver was very good and gave us a smooth trip. The only disappointment was the lack of information from the lead guide with the microphone on the bus about the chateaus. This was particularly upsetting with Cheverny as there were no signs displayed around the rooms inside or any leaflets handed out as we went in. At least the other 2 chateaus had these as is the usual practice. At Cheverny we had no idea at all as to even basic knowledge apart from the fact it was privately owned and well- furnished!! We even had to discover which family owned it ourselves afterwards by googling! I appreciate that we had opted for self-guided tours at the chateaus but as there was a guide on the bus, we expected some commentary apart from the timing arrangements and general chit-chat. The other guide, Victor, did give us some pointers as he led us into the chateaus which were very helpful. So, an efficient way to visit the beautiful chateaus, but I would recommend some reading up before you go or taking one of the guided options!!

Trip was very good. All castles were great. I didn't have guided tour, some did which was confusing but it worked. There was wine tasting outside of the last castle But we had limited time so that was slightly misleading
The part that stops it from being 5 stars is people not coming back to bus on time. We waited 30 minutes after the 2nd castle, finally left when 10 minutes later were directed to go back and pick up the person. I get not wanting to strand somebody but this lady was 20 minutes late after the first castle and i think we should have left her. Because of these delays we had barely an hour at the last castle which wasn't enough
