1.Loire Valley Castles Day Trip from Paris with Complementary Wine

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 3,907 reviews · 13 hours (approx.) · from $149Our pick

Day trip from Paris to Loire Valley castles, with UNESCO stops at Chambord and Chenonceau plus included wine tasting and coach transport.

“Visit to Chambord (largest castle but limited furnishings) Chenonceau (was beautifully appointed + family owned business) which included a wine tasting. This is a place to go back for a longer visit. There is a stop in Blois for lunch. Be prepared for a long drive (6 hrs return). Good exposure but cursory visit to each site.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 613 reviews · 12 hours (approx.) · from $296Top rated

A small-group Loire Valley day trip from Paris to Chambord, Chenonceau, and Amboise, with guided châteaux visits and a simple wine tasting.

“The castles were amazing. The 1st two were over the top the last was spectacular from the outside. The displays inside were underwhelming. The wine tasting was not great. Before lunch while standing in a small space was odd. Kareem was knowledgeable but I felt his role was more of a driver than a tour guide. Driving was sometimes an adventure. Long day!”
