Loire Valley Châteaux Tour: Chambord & Chenonceau from ToursThis is a guided tour of Chambord Castle and Château de Chenonceau, the two most prestigious castles in the Loire Valley, departing from Tours or Amboise. You travel by air-conditioned minivan with an English-speaking local guide, entrance fees included, and spend roughly eight hours visiting both châteaux and their grounds.
