We really enjoyed our day, our guide was lovely, she was knowledgeable about the chateau’s. We enjoyed our free time and the driving through the countryside. The length of the day was great.

We had such an amazing day with Marion!! At the end, I wished we could do it all over again. Highly highly recommend the private chateau lunch option along with the two large chateaus. Marion was fun, informative, witty, and just a pleasant person overall. We loved our small group (6 with guide) - met a lovely mother daughter from Australia. I have a picture of our group, but I don’t see where I can add it or I would!! This is the tour to do!!

Fantastic tour. Takes all the stress out of working out transport and the guide gives so much more information than if you were on your own. Highly recommend
