About this tour

Leave Paris behind for the Loire Valley, where rolling hills and sparkling rivers frame some of France’s most celebrated châteaux. On this Loire Valley Castles Guided Tour, travel by air-conditioned coach and explore grand halls, lush gardens, and striking Renaissance architecture with a licensed guide. Hear stories of the kings, queens, and remarkable women who shaped these historic estates.

Visit Château de Chambord, the valley’s largest Renaissance masterpiece, and Château de Chenonceau, whose graceful arches span the Cher River. At Château de Cheverny, admire elegant interiors and beautiful gardens. The tour also offers free time for lunch at a château of your choice; lunch is not included.

How this score is calculated

This tour has no TourTruth score yet: Viator doesn't show a usable rating for it. It gets a score as soon as a provider lists one.

How the score works
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10. Tours without a usable provider rating are not scored.
