Full description
Get picked up in the morning before driving to the Loire Valley and start your day touring the Château de Chenonceau. The Chateau des Dames bridge built across the Cher is famous for the great heroines who lived there (Diane de Poitiers and Catherine de Medicis) and for the beauty of its Renaissance gardens. Next, head to a wine tasting with a wine specialist at Caves Ambacia in Amboise. An oenologist will welcome you into the caves, former tuff stone quarries, for a tour. This will be followed by a wine tasting of Vouvray wines.  After this, tour the Royal Castle of Amboise, residence of Charles VIII and the young François d’Angoulème, future Francois I. Discover a perfect example of the transition from Gothic to Renaissance architecture and the Saint Hubert Chapel, which today houses the grave of Leonardo da Vinci. Finally, head to the Manor du Clos Lucé, a few yards away from the Royal Castle. Leonardo da Vinci spent the last 3 years of his life there and died there in 1519. See his bedroom, office, reception room and kitchen, and be awestruck by his invention room, displaying models of his most spectacular inventions. End your day by being dropped off in Amboise at 5:30 PM or in Tours at 6 PM.

GetYourGuide traveler May 3, 2022 – Verified booking
With the slow influx in tourists to france (written in April 2022) this is essentially a private tour. Most of the time I was wondering if it was worth the $200+ per person, and I think it was worth at least most of that. Gas is very expensive these days, and our tour guide did a fantastic job explaining the different sites while also giving us free time at each of the chateau's. The free time is very rushed at chenonceau and close luce though, which was enough to see close luce however there were portions of chenonceau we did not get to see by the time we left (however, got to see most of the most important portions). Thankful that the wine tasting company they partner with had options for those who do not drink alcohol. Overall there are not many options for touring the chateau's if you do not have your own car, so factor that into your decision for paying this much per person (there is no uber out there, taxis are sparse and expensive)
