Roxanne is an excellent guide. She is knowledgeable and passionate about the content as well as motivated to provide an enjoyable experience for her clients. When taking us through Chambord, she was happy to cater the tour to our interests, rather than just doing a “one tour fits all” approach. She’s very familiar with the area and has such a broad understanding of the French history that she will soon be a published author. She is also very good at making her tour more of a story, rather than just spouting off dates and facts. We got so much more out of our guided visit at Chambord, more than we did at any of the other chateaux that we visited.
