Chateau de ChambordBegin your journey at Château de Chambord, the largest and most extravagant castle in the Loire Valley. Designed to impress, this architectural marvel features grand staircases, ornate ceilings, and sweeping rooftop views that once awed kings and queens. You'll have 1.5 hours—more than most tours allow—to wander through royal apartments, climb the legendary double-helix staircase (believed to be inspired by Leonardo da Vinci), and lose yourself in the vast forested grounds. This is your moment to escape the crowds, feel the history under your feet, and take the kind of photos that make people say, “Where is that? ”
-
BloisYour next stop is the picturesque town of Blois, perched above the Loire River and steeped in royal history. Your guide will show a few points of interest. Here you choose how to spend your time. You can enjoy a relaxed, authentic French lunch in the heart of the old town. Stroll down Rue du Bourg Neuf or settle into one of the inviting terraces on Place Louis XII, where the scent of fresh baguettes, bubbling cheese, and roasted meats fills the air. Prefer to dive deeper into history? Get lunch on the go and visit the Royal Château of Blois, one of the Loire’s most architecturally diverse castles. This often-overlooked gem was home to seven French kings and features Gothic towers, Renaissance galleries, and richly decorated rooms. Tickets can be purchased on-site. Whether you want to relax over a meal or continue your castle adventure, this stop offers something few tours do: freedom to choose your experience, without compromise.
-
Chateau de ChenonceauEnd your day with over two hours at the fairytale-like Château de Chenonceau, gracefully stretching across the River Cher. Known as the "Ladies' Castle," this romantic retreat was shaped by powerful women like Diane de Poitiers and Catherine de Medici—and it shows in every elegant detail. With up to 2.5 hours of time on site, you’ll step into lavish halls, wander the manicured gardens, cross the grand river gallery, and peek inside the royal kitchens. Your guide will give you an engaging introduction outside to help you explore meaningfully on your own. This is more than a castle—it’s a moment of beauty, peace, and inspiration. Most tours rush you through in under an hour. You get the time to truly experience it.
