Return Details

Returns to original departure point
Hop aboard your air-conditioned minivan in central Tours, France, then head into the countryside with your guide to begin your full-day tour. First, visit the 16th-century Château d'Azay-le-Rideau — nestled by the banks of the Indre River. As you explore, admire features including the Renaissance staircase and gain insight into the castle’s rich history.

Continue on to a family-run wine estate and sample some of the Bourgueil wines in production. Then the lunch is at your leisure.

In the afternoon, stop at the 16th-century Château de Villandry — famous for its beautifully tended herb and vegetable gardens. Here, admire the bold Renaissance architecture you find and enjoy sweeping views along the banks of the Loire River.

Stroll along pathways lined with ancient linden trees, and discover the scents and colors for which the gardens are famous. Afterwards, return to your original departure point to conclude your tour.

We had a wonderful time during this...

We had a wonderful time during this tour. The chateaus were beautiful. They were very well kept. The Chateau Langeais was some what different because of having some features of a castle. Gardens of Villandry were magnificent. The lunch at Chateau de Miniere was really simple but nice. Both vines we tasted were fine. Our guide was Manon. She was great. We learned from her a lot. Thank you for the great time.
