Join a full-day guided tour of the Loire Valley from Tours to visit two important French castles. Start at Chenonceau, the "Château des Dames," to see its unique architecture and Renaissance gardens. Learn about the notable former residents who lived there.

After lunch (at your own expense) in a nearby village, head to Château de Chambord. Explore its double helix staircase, large rooms, and terraces with wide views. Gain insights from expert guides at both sites as you learn about the art and history of each location.
