What a wonderful day! The bike path along the river Cher was simply idyllic. Chenonceau castle is beautiful and the wine tasting was informative and welcoming. Picking up the bike and the using the navigation app was very straightforward. I was tired by the end; this was a full day activity. I enjoyed dinner in the charming centre of Amboise.

My husband and I were on a short trip to Paris for his work. On the day he had mostly off, we had Frederic drive us to Bruges since we had never been to Belgium and the pictures looked amazing. After a very comfortable ride there, Frederic started a walking tour with us in the morning and we quickly realized the pictures did not do this quaint city justice! We felt like Disney had created this perfect little town for people to see. Frederic walked us around before we stopped for lunch together. He was going to leave us to dine alone but we asked him to join us because we enjoyed his company so much and we wanted to hear more about the city. After lunch, he gave us the option of having him continue to walk us around or we could explore on our own. We chose to explore on our own since we felt he had given us such a good overview that morning. We had plans to tour the Chocolate Museum but when we arrived, it was closed due to the time of year. We actually didn't mind much and we just spent the day wandering the beautiful streets around the canals and stopping for hot chocolate and waffles. I would highly suggest a visit to Bruges to feel like you have stepped back in time. Speaking of time, we toured in January and lucked out that it wasn't extremely cold. The crowds were very low so it was easy to wander the streets and sometimes we found ourselves the only ones exploring the small alleyways. I would definitely return to Bruges one day and would highly suggest taking this tour especially if it is your first visit or if you have very limited time in the city.

We are travelling from Australia and have previously visited other countries prior to to France which had amazing service and friendlyness. However 5minutes in France we found them to be rude 10minutes in and they were pushing us, 30minutes and pickpocketed. My advice when you get off the train is get back on and try a different country. Try Ireland, England or even Amsterdam. We are counting down the minutes to get out of this thieving, smelly, rude, dirty country Cheers

My girlfriend and I visited Blois-Chambord in March of 2020 to sight see and visit Chateaus. We took a taxi ride from a gentleman named Bruno Gaio to our AirBnB and he became our personal hero. He gave us exceptional recommendations on restaurants and useful travel tips and was extremely polite/respectful. The next day, we missed our train to Bordeaux so we decided to stay in Blois-Chambord one more day. Bruno was there to pick us up and take us anywhere we chose that day. He really went the extra mile for us- he drove us around all day and waited for us to explore the chateaus. He also took us to places we were unaware of (such as Leonardo de Vinci’s home-highly recommend). Bruno gave us mini history lessons on the castles and just made the day fun for us. We are extremely grateful for him and the company, Royal Connection. Don’t think twice about using this company and ASK FOR BRUNO!

I can't thank you enough for the wonderful tour Marion our guide gave us. Besides being joyful, she show us in detail everything and much more than expected. Marion speaks English like a native but also speaks fluent Spanish. She is an excellent driver, excellent manners, with a positive attitude and knows by heart the history of the chateaux's.
