"We had a great time"
We had a great time. Vincent was a fantastic guide. My only regret is that we didn't have more time - but we will make sure to reach-out on our next trip to France. Many thanks for putting this together on such short notice.

"But honestly was such a great day"
We have been having a marvellous time, thank you. The wine tour was excellent, we had such a great day. The only piece of feedback I would have, is it may have been better to do the castle and gardens first in the day, only due to how hot and full we were at the end of the day and after all the wine and lunch. But honestly was such a great day. Thank you again for all your help.

Thanks for Stephanie. We had a marvelous time with her. Her positive attitude, relaxed & friendly nature made for a fantastic 2 days. She is very knowledgeable. Your other guides should learn from her. She is that good. Please pass our best regards to Stephanie, and Merci pour tout.

"We had a fabulous time"
We had a fabulous time and our driver Bruno was fantastic. He went out of his way to make our day as easy as possible and drove us around to find local produce and bread for our dinner. The pre booked castle visits were so easy and we so enjoyed the vineyard you had picked for us. Our guide , Arthur did a wonderful tour and tasting and lunch was provided from a local chef.

"Thank you so much for arranging our wonderful tour"
Thank you so much for arranging our wonderful tour of the two most famous chateaux in the Loire Valley. We were very grateful for your attention to detail in planning our day and even before we left for France, your prompt responses to our questions. Eva, our guide, had a wealth of knowledge of French history and her English was very good. Most importantly, she was a lovely lady with whom to spend the day. The bus driver was very skillful. The stop at the winery was a perfect break - friendly vintners and an excellent lunch! We are all staying at a chateau and I am leaving your company’s name with the owner so he can recommend you to future travelers.

"The clients had an absolutely incredible time"
The clients had an absolutely incredible time in the Loire Valley. They raved about Stephanie as their guide, and said the visit to the wine makers house was the highlight of their entire trip. There was not one critic or note for improvement. I can’t thank you enough for your assistance in organizing this special family vacation. I will certainly be in touch with the next one! Thank you so much and hope to be in touch with another itinerary soon.

"Thank you for taking care of our lovely family"
Thank you so much for taking care of our lovely family, and please pass on the feedback to your guide, and thank you Thomas for a great work in putting this trip together! "The guides were so informed and amazing. Stephanie, in particular, was so accommodating, flexible, professional yet genuine, and thoughtful. Stephanie gave us amazing amounts of interesting information in the Loire about so many things, and we opted to visit Orleans with her, which was an amazing experience. We became huge fans of Jean D'Arc, and the Cathedral at Orleans was stunning."

"You showed a great patience and flexibility"
We greatly appreciate your "putting up with" our finickiness about travel. You showed great patience and flexibility with us. Vincent was more than we could have imagined. Touring with him was like sharing wine experiences with a real friend who was also a wine expert and a Loire Valley encyclopedia of people and history. Best to you and yours for happiness and good health,

"A highlight of our holiday in France"
What a wonderful afternoon we had with Denis and Emilie. So friendly, so fun and just delightful. They provided us with lots of lovely information about the area. The wine tasting was so lovely too - relaxed, knowledgeable and all together perfect. We were super pleased with our cruise - the food was wonderful from the restaurant - so very French, so fresh and delicious.
It was definitely a highlight of our holiday in France. Many thanks for organising it and making it happen. We are very grateful for the wonderful memories.
With kind regards, Sarah

"A wonderful time in the Loire"
We did have a wonderful time in the Loire. Our two tours assembled by you were almost flawless and the group enjoyed them a lot. The lunch at the Terra vineyard was exquisite and … everyone with food restrictions could eat without a problem. Quite a coup! We learned so much about wine tastes and the soil that grew them; it was the first time for me that someone explained that in such detail. We all learned a lot and had a good time; of course, the great Loire wines helped that! I shall indeed keep you in mind when and if I organize another Loire Valley expedition.
