Uncover the best of Loire Valley the local Way

"We are so thankful for Michel. Our previous booked tour through Viator was cancelled so I had to find a new tour at the last minute. We didn't want to typical museum type tour, we wanted a custom, show me the landmarks tour. And add in some wine! We visited Chenonceau Castle, took our photos, then went to a charming village for lunch. After that it was wine tasting time at Domaine Merieau winery. Yummy affordable wines. I may have bought a few bottles. We weren't super needed, but Michel took great care of us! "

"Thank you Michel for a lovely day in the county. The two wineries were wonderful and your knowledge was fantastic. We would certainly do this again."

"Michel was a great host and full of great historical stories and information during the castle tours but he really shined during the wine tastings! He has an amazing passion for wine and the techniques that the local French use for creating that wine. We had an amazing day learning about so much history, the castles, and the wine as well as a beautiful lunch. Will definitely look him up on our next visit to Paris!"

"We took family of 6 on this tour and it was fabulous. We are not wine aficionados but Michels taught us about that he Loire region in an engaging way that was on our level. He exceeded our expectations! We started at Château of Chambord, went to 2 wineries and had a wonderful lunch. If you are traveling to Paris and want to get to the countryside, be chauffeured and drink wine, this tour is for you!"

"Travelled to visit chateaux in the Loire Valley by metro, fast train and car with Anukool. Although this is a long day, I thoroughly enjoyed our conversations which helped the travel time fly by. Anukool shared his passion for travel as well as his knowledge of history, the Loire Valley and Paris. As a single traveller, I appreciate a guide who can customize a tour to suit my travel style. We visited three chateaux as planned, touring the interiors of two and the exterior and grounds of a third. We also fit in time to view a fourth chateau. When I visit Paris again, I will be looking forward to doing other tours with Anukool."

"We went to Loire valley with Michel. It was a great experience. Michel is quite a wine aficionado. Learnt a lot about the regional wine production. Would recommend a tour with him. "

"Michel is very knowledgeable of both wines and the history of the Loire region. A very accommodating host. Highly recommended. "

"Were initially looking at Loire wine tours with a group but instead chose to go with Michel for a more intimate experience. Was a great day exploring chateaus and visiting a couple family run wineries. Great experience to be off the beaten track meeting with wine artisans rather than being herded through big name wineries like cattle 😁. We had a wonderful and far more personal experience being the only visitors at the wineries… allowing for more in depth discussions with both Michel and our winery hosts Highly recommend "

"Anukool was a wealth of information and knowledge both of the things on this tour as well as a multitude of other places, countries as he has done quite a bit of travel. It was a bit disappointing that we had to buy our tickets for the inside of Chenonceau, for the amount the tour cost and based on past experiences entry tickets are usually included in tour prices. We had great visits to Chenonceau and Cheverny. Our only complaint was that it didn't seem he did this trip that often and didn't do his homework and know about a big cycling race that was happening in one of the towns we were supposed to visit and what times restaurants close during the day as it was a challenge to find somewhere to eat lunch. Also his driving skills were not that great and at times didn't feel 100% safe. We took the train to Tours and then he drove a rental car to the Chateaus. Overall a nice day and good tours"

"Michel is easy, courteous, genuine, down to earth, good sense of humor... and the description can go on. We did the Loire Valley tour. Needless to say, the wine tasting was fantastic, the chateaux was impressive, the lunch and wine pairing selected by Michel himself was excellent. I think the best part of the entire trip, was the company. We came back with new insights about French people, knowledge about French food and wine, and memory of beautiful countryside scenery. This is hands down the best part of our trip so far."
