My husband and I had a wonderful time with Franck. He is unbelievably knowledgeable about the AOC and grape growth/vinification processes of the Loire Valley. The valley is likely the most amazing place in all of France to taste wine, and Franck was such a wealth of knowledge it was delightful and inspiring. I would whole heartedly recommend this tour to anyone with interest in the wines of the Loire Valley or anyone just interested in seeing a beautiful part of France with someone who is immersed and fluent in the culture.

Thomas was a great guide, well informed and easy to understand. He even brought his mother to meet us since he thought we spoke German ( we live in Germany but are basically English speakers) and she was a wealth of information about the Cathedral and Strasbourg in general. We learned a lot in a very short time, and were pleased with the experience. Highly recommend!
