Why take this tour?
In the comfort of one of our minivans, your driver-guide will take you to the Loire. Once you arrive at the Châteaux you will be given free time to explore all three at your own pace. Chambord is the most majestic of the Châteaux you will see, boasting massive medieval towers perfectly blended with Renaissance elegance. The double helix spiral staircase at the heart of the Château, attributed to Leonardo Di Vinci is simply mind-blowing.
Amboise, with its spectacular view over the Loire, is famous for being the last resting place of one of history’s most famous men: Leonardo Da Vinci and with its massive gothic defensive features it evokes that bygone era of knights on horseback. Then you will be given some free time in the Village at the foot of the Castle to wander and enjoy your lunch break after a wine tasting.
Chenonceau, above all stands out as the most beautiful of the Châteaux of the Loire as it extends with infinite grace over the waters of the river Cher.
