Itinerary
Pick-up: 09:00 AM at Tours train station or at your hotel.
Guided tour of the Chateau of Chenonceau.
Arriving in the Loire Valley, you’ll start your day tour touring the Château de Chenonceau.
The “Chateau des Dames”, bridge built across the Cher is famous for the prominent women who lived in it (Diane de Poitiers, Catherine de Medicis…) and for the beauty of its Renaissance Gardens.
Tour and wine tasting with a Specialist in matured Loire Valley vintages.
Pascal and his team welcome you to his caves, the ancient tuff-stone quarries, for a tour followed by a tasting of 3 local wines.
Please note that the tour and wine tasting will be only in English.
Lunch at your leisure.
Guided tour of the Royal Chateau of Amboise
After lunch, you will tour the Royal Castle of Amboise, residence of Charles the 8th and young François d’Angoulème, (the future Francois the 1st). Here you will discover perfect examples of the transition from Gothic to Renaissance styling, as well as the Saint Hubert Chapel which shelters the final resting place of Leonardo da Vinci.
Guided tour of the Chateau of the Clos Lucé
The tour would not be complete without taking you to meet The Genius in his Chateau du Clos Lucé, only a few short steps away from the Royal Castle.
This is where da Vinci spent the last three years of his life and passed there in 1519. After touring his bedroom, office, reception room and kitchen, stand in awe at the Invention Room, where models of Leonardo's most spectacular machines are on display.

Exceptional tour and guide
We had a tour yesterday in Loire valley with Simon from a moose to chambord and bloise and cheverny. I wanted to write to thank him. The tour was amazing!! We bought this vacation from a charity auction and your tour was part of the package. Today we did not have a tour and the hotel booked us for the day with another company. It was night and day. My kids were so bored. All day long they just kept saying it would be fun if Simon was there. We are leaving for Paris tomorrow and I wish he could tour us there! He is an exceptional guide and it was a perfect day. We have been around the world and are hard to please!!!
