Step by Step

This excursion to the castles of Chambord and Chenonceau and the caves of Ambacia from Tours will take you to explore the most emblematic natural and architectural gems of the Loire Valley.

Your adventure, lasting around 9 hours, will begin with a comfortable and cool transfer in an air-conditioned minivan, accompanied by a professional guide passionate about sharing the secrets of this unique region and in small groups of up to 8 people.

At the imposing Château de Chambord, you will gaze upon a castle that looks like something out of an epic tale. You will walk through its impressive halls and corridors, a living trace of the grandeur of the French Renaissance. The majestic towers, the intricate double helix staircases and the elegance of its gardens will transport you to an era of monarchs and nobles.

You will then arrive at the Château de Chenonceau, also known as the "Château des Dames", an elegant building overlooking the Cher River, with a refined architecture that holds intriguing stories. You can imagine how the queens and ladies of the court strolled through its elegant galleries and admired the panoramic views.

The other main attraction of the trip is a visit to the caves of Ambacia, an underground world full of mystery and wonder. As you explore the depths of these natural caves, you will find yourself immersed in a geological wonder. The stalactite and stalagmite formations will tell you a story that dates back millions of years, giving you a unique connection to the earth with its stunning surroundings.

And to take your experience to another level, you will participate in an exquisite wine tasting that will allow you to savour the very essence of this wine region, with exclusive aromas and flavours that can only be found here.

    The castles are impressive and the guide very friendly, but the free time in each place feels a bit rushed.
