Fantastic tour with Nisa
Skylar_G
, Jun 2022
What a lovely tour with Nisa! It was a long day, but we really enjoyed getting to see the three châteaux--each one had a different character, and the scenery was gorgeous. Nisa was very friendly and knowledgeable, and we appreciated that the tour was limited to a small group. We also enjoyed seeing the charming town of Amboise. It was nice getting out of the city, and this was definitely a highlight of our trip--would highly recommend it!

The storm can't stop the fun

I had an amazing time touring around the Loire Valley and its three castles! Despite having a storm in the last castle, our tour guide, Lilia made it a fun adventure! I highly recommend her! She's amazing, full of energy, and genuinely cares about her group.

A fun, interesting tour

The tour was as expected, which was fun and informative. But what made it extra special was having Lucy as our tour guide. She had a wonderful sense of humor along with an amazing command of the history behind each chateau. She wove four groups of strangers into a warm group of new friends.

Great Guide

Our guide (Olivier) was one of the best I've had. He gave information during the long drives to the three castles and during walks on the castle grounds, as well. He has a great Inspector Clouseau accent, also. He answered all of our questions, including politics and other interesting aspects of France. A really great tour.

This is the second time I have done this tour.
Oliver, our guide, was great...a vast improvement over the last one!
I did find our time to explore the buildings was a little rushed.
I did not try the wine tasting but my friend found it a waste of time.
I think the tour should arrange lunch reservations for the group to insure lunch is timely and available.
I did not like the meeting point. As I usually travel alone, I would not like to have been dropped off there by my taxi to wait in the dark by myself. Perhaps a Bistro that is open for 24 hours might be a better idea. We were approached by 2 wanderers around the Arc de Triomphe, not scary but a bit unsettling.
Response from Host , Oct 2021
Hi Susan,
Thanks for taking the time to share your experience with others.
I'm glad you enjoyed the tour overall.
I'm sorry you didn't enjoy the wine tasting. The Loire Valley is a region famous for its Renaissance castles but also its wines. The short wine tasting is an opportunity to try out some of those local wines, it is not the main focus of this tour.
We also wish you had more time to spend in the castles but this is a day trip from Paris and it is impossible to spend more time unless the tour (which is already very from 7AM to 8PM) would finish even later. The only way to spend more time would be to visit the Loire Valley for multiple days, our tour is designed as a Day Trip and only gives you a glimpse of what the region has to offer.
We do not include the lunch in our tour as we feel that most of our clients like the idea to have the choice, not everyone likes the same type of food.
The place where this tour meet in the morning (a café) usually opens at 6AM, that is why we chose it. Currently , because of Covid they sometimes open a bit later, we're sorry about that but there are no café in Paris open 24hrs a day.
Regards,
JB
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
