Loire Valley- the name itself conjures up images of romantic castles with moats, towers, drawbridges and gardens. The entire Loire Valley has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a tour of the valley is like taking a trip back in time to discover the rich history of France and explore its architecture.

Each castle of the Loire Valley has its own unique style and appeal, as is evident on a tour of the Chambord and Chenonceau castles. The Chambord castle has a fascinating double helix staircase  while the gardens and forests of Chenonceau are also a beautiful sight to behold.

Explore the numerous castles that pandered to every whim and fancy of the French nobility and marvel at the architecture and fascinating history of France in the Loire Valley.

On this Loire Valley Castles full-day guided tour, you will visit Chenonceau Castle, known as the "Château des Dames" or "Ladies' Castle," featuring moats, turrets, and beautifully designed gardens by Diane de Poitiers and Catherine de Médicis.
