Fully guided 3 days

Transportation: Fully chauffeured private luxury car with your guide
Accommodation: 4* Hotel, downtown Amboise or Relais & Chateaux
Overview
This three day escape showcases the essential highlights of the Loire Valley. Personally guided on a custom designed route, you will experienced the sights, sounds and culture of the area. We kept only the major castles of the region to make sure you have time to enjoy the French way of life as well, and go side tracks for unique experiences. Wine and gastronomy are high on our list but don’t hesitate to tell us about your own favorites.
This tour has been conceived as a medley of the Loire Valley. It is perfect for a discovery week-end or a short break-away from the city life but can be fully adapted to your own schedule and/or interest.
Itinerary
Day 1: In the footsteps of Leonardo da Vinci
Upon you arrival in the Loire Valley, your guide will take you to Amboise, where Leonardo da Vinci spent his last years. Visits both chateaux of Leonardo and Francois the 1st and stroll down the picturesque pedestrian streets of this Renaissance little town.
Day 2: Majestic Loire Valley castles and a goat farm
Embark with your guide for a day in the most famous castles of the Loire Valley: Chenonceau and Chambord, and visit a local goat farm.
Day 3: A unique experience around the Loire valley wines
Some tourists just taste the wine, but you are going to “experienced it”. Be ready to “see” and “touch” it in a style offered to few travelers and in places open only to RiverLoire guests.

Mont St Michel was fabulous, and they made reservations for us at La Mere Poulard, which I also recommend. I have high standards for organizing trips like this and I was very happy with RiverLoire.
Scott & Peter (USA) a review from Tripadvisor (5 stars) - April 2017
Our guide, Audrey, was a font of enthusiasm and knowledge. Her love the history of the French chateaux we visited brought them to life. We also really enjoyed our cooking class (and appreciate the chef's patience with our total lack of skill) and the wine tour - it's always fun to combine food and drink with learning! We appreciated the customization of the tours and Karine and Thierry's willingness to work with us to make our trip exactly what we wanted.
Lauren and family (Canada)a review from Tripadvisor (5 stars - January 2017
I would definetly recommend Riverloire to my friends. The luxury of being driven, tickets purchased, and the knowledgeable guide was worth the money. There was a very good mix of chateaus, castles, wine and scenery.

Our tour was vey well-organized and included their help buying our TGV tickets from Paris, finding us excellent accommodations, retaining high quality guides who transported us to the chateaux and wineries, entrance tickets to all venues, and meal reservations.
RiverLoire is a top drawer organization, and I would recommend it highly for getting the most out of a short stay in the area!
Kirsten (USA) - October 2014
The lunches and dinner organized through RiverLoire were absolutely beyond our expectations and better than we had enjoyed on any of our tours and during our visit to Paris and Provence immediately before the Loire Valley.
Chenonceau, Amboise, Villandry, Cheverny and Chambord were absolutely wonderful and the wine tasting experience in the troglodyte tunnels was fantastic.
RiverLoire's organization was exceptional and we would definitely use them again and recommend them to the most discriminating holiday maker.
