Beautiful tour and guides

Loire Valley Super stay Comfort, 3 Day Tours and 2 nights in 4* hotel in Tours. My daughter and I took this tour a few weeks ago, this tour was the highlight of our holiday in France. Our guides Audrey and Vincent were wonderful, we really enjoyed learning so much history of France and had so much fun. We would both highly recommend these tours and guides.

Amazing holiday


Bonjour,

Last week, my mother, sister and I had the amazing holiday during our tour of the Loire Valley.

I would like to personally write to the agency to bring to attention how wonderful our guide Veronique Villalba was.

We started the tour as soon we arrived in Tours - after waking up at 5am to catch the train from Paris - yet because of Veronique's passion and enthusiasm, we were able to forget about our tiredness and focus on nothing but the fantastic castles.

I especially liked how at each castle Veronique made sure that we had free time to wander around and really absorb the grandeur and beauty the castle had to offer. This was only possible due to her amazing schedule and time management - as she was always on time! I would also like to add that she went the extra mile to give us extra information about each castle, their layout and the history of the French royals. Having studied history, my sister and I both found this very interesting.

Overall, Veronique really made our experience a great one and we all enjoyed her company.

I would like to thank the agency for giving us such an amazing guide, and because of this I will be sure to not only recommend the tour to friends, but will likely be taking another tour by France Intense the next time I am in France.

Merci beaucoup!
