Private Loire Valley Castles Tour from Paris
About this tour
A private Loire Valley day trip from Paris to three châteaux, door to door. Hotel pickup, castle entrance tickets and audio guides are included, and your English-speaking driver-host drives your party only: no group, no coach, no ticket queue. Free cancellation up to 48 hours before pickup.
Three castles, three personalities: Chambord's monumental ambition, Chenonceau's elegance stretched over the river Cher, and Cheverny's intimate, lived-in refinement. Between them, a landscape of vineyards, forests and slow rivers.
Your driver-host handles the timing so you see the great rooms when they are quietest, with audio guides included. Free time for lunch between visits; on the way back, a stop at a family wine cellar remains possible.

Guest reviews
“We had a really good time exploring the Loire Valley castles. As a family travelling with three children, I appreciated the flexibility of the tour. The drive was comfortable and we had a lot of fun.”
“As my parents are elderly, I booked a private tour. We visited the château on foot, but we were able to get in and out of the vehicle as close as possible, which was easy on the body. The driving was careful and we had a lovely time. Thank you very much.”
