These chateaus are an absolute must see. Charles was a great guide who is super knowledgeable about some of the lesser known (and, for me, more interesting) things about the chateaus and the people who lived and worked there. Lunch at Les Caves Ambacia was a really pleasant surprise as well.

Our tour guide, Audrey was amazing. Her wealth of knowledge is astounding. She was very clear on keeping to time constraints. I did not feel herded, rather she quietly led us off to the side to share information. She kept us informed throughout the tour.

It was perfectly organized and Marion was a very good guide, very informative with plenty of interesting insights and recommendations. Visits to both castles were very interesting and led in a proffesional way, good spots for pictures and views, right timings to avoid waiting and biggest crowds. Wine tasting was very interesting and we’ve been offered a 37 year old wine to try, nice recommendation for lunch. Strongly recommended!
