    Bastien was our guide and was great. Very informative as he received his Masters degree studying wine as that is his passion. Lunch was fantastic with Sophie as our host at the wineyard. Long day but after drinking lots of vine and having such nice travel partners in the van, we had a nice ride home. Definitely a must!

    Our guide, Jo, was very knowledgeable and nice. The tour was very interesting, especially the visit to the second wine production. The combination of the Loire castles and a visit to the cellars with tasting is ideal for those who want to spend a different day out of the city.

    This was a wonderful day. Simon, our guide, was warm and engaging, helpful and entertaining. The winery and the restaurant where we dined for lunch were both welcoming and informative. Chateau de Chambord was yet another reminder of the extremely opulent lifestyle of the Royal elite in a bygone era. We highly recommend this tour. Ask for Simon!
