Tour highlights:

  • Discover some of the finest châteaux of the Loire Valley
  • Take a guided tour of the Châteaux de Blois, Cheverny and Chambord
  • Taste some of the finest organic wines of Cheverny and Cour-Cheverny

The day begins with pickup from your accommodation at 9.00 AM. Greet your guide, then set off into the sprawling countryside of Loire Valley. Stop at the Château de Blois, notable for its unique mix of Medieval, Gothic, Renaissance and Classical architecture. The former home of kings Louis XII and François I, its history is steeped in tragedy and is notable as the place where Joan of Arc went to be blessed by the Archbishop of Reims before departing with her army to drive the English from Orléans. Free time for lunch. Our guide will recommend a nice place. Pause for a wine tasting and sample some of the organic wines of Cheverny and Cour-Cheverny. The Cheverny appellation produces elegant reds from the pinot noir and gamay grapes, as well as fruity whites from the chardonnay and sauvignon grapes. Sample a stunning organic white wine made from the romorantin grape, imported into the Loire Valley by King François I. Take a guided tour of the Château de Cheverny, owned by the same family since the days of Louis XIII. See some of the most beautiful furniture in the Loire Valley, and learn the château’s rich history, such as its connection to Tintin comic books and the impressive hunts on horseback that used to take place with a pack of 100 dogs. You may even get to see the spectacular daily event of “the dogs’ soup!” Move on to the Château de Chambord, one of the most recognizable châteaux in the world for its distinctive French Renaissance architecture. Discover the vast national game reserve of the largest château in the Loire Valley, and learn the monument’s fascinating history, including the unverified tale of Leonardo da Vinci’s involvement in its construction. Return to your accommodation at 6.00 PM.

Due to my busy work schedule, I find it difficult to plan my vacations in advance. As my wedding anniversary was approaching, I was worried about finding suitable accommodation in Greece during the busy month of July. However, we were fortunate to come across Mythesia who provided us with an excellent solution! Their trip designers created a custom itinerary for us, featuring lesser-known Greek islands that are not typically frequented by foreign tourists. The entire trip was flawlessly planned, and my wife and I particularly enjoyed the private sailing cruise with our captain, Alexandros. We would never have been able to arrange such a remarkable trip on short notice without the assistance of the team at Mythesia.

They worked with me to create a personalized package that included everything my boyfriend and I wanted, and then some. From the moment we stepped off the plane, we were treated like royalty. Every detail was taken care of, from the transportation to the accommodations, to the excursions. It was truly a dream come true!

This travel agency has ruined me for all other vacations. I don't think I'll ever be able to plan another trip on my own! They made everything so easy and stress-free that I felt like a celebrity. The best part? Finally being able to wear all those fancy vacation clothes I never have the occasion to wear at home! Thank you, Mythesia, for the best vacation of my life!"
