Chateus were very crowded. Guide could have taken us through the furnished rooms in Chambord.

I liked this tour. But it was a long time in the bus and not enough time at the chateaus. I was also dissapointed not to see Amboise where Leonardo spent his last days. Is is possible to take a train to the Loire valley and then meet the bus there so we could spend more time at the chateus.

Definitely one of the most breathtaking parts of my European tour.

I've visited this area many times and wanted to do it again with my granddaughter. This is just about as good as a tour gets: there are many castles of the Loire valley, and the three offered on this trip were three of the best--diverse, and with history that almost everyone can place.
