Full description

Take a tour of the Chateau of Langeais which is a perfect balance between gardens, architecture, and contemporary art. You will be surprised by this 15th-century fortress, which contrasts with the quirky art exhibition. Its huge garden is inspired by fairy tales and cartoons. A confidential place for an original experience. Then, have a guided tour of one of the most spectacular gardens of Touraine, Villandry. By its diversity and originality (Love Garden, Kitchen Garden, Aromatic and Medicine Plant Garden, Water Garden and the brand new Sun Garden) and by its size (15 acres, 1150 linden trees), Villandry is the Loire Valley garden not to be missed. With your guide, learn to speak the language of a medieval and Renaissance garden while discovering the power of thyme and basil on your health. At the end of the tour, your guide will drop you off in Tours at 5:30 PM or in Amboise at 6:15 PM.

Vincent was an excellent guide and source of information. The chateau were beautiful and we were given ample time at each to explore

Good ride

The guide's explanations very well. Excellent tasting. Two of the very cute castles and one might not have seen it.

Bought tour to Azay-le-Rideau - received tour to Chinon

The tour was sold to us under the wrong label. We wanted to see Azay-le-Rideau and were driven to Chinon instead. We were only informed of this change upon departure. We find this absolutely unacceptable, we would not have bought a tour to Chinon, this castle was not on our visit list. Reason for the change: Azay-le-Rideau is being renovated, is closed. This renovation was certainly not just decided on that day, but had been known for a long time. The tender should have been changed.
