When I saw the Loire Valley Time Travel website, it had all the ingredients I was looking for - a gorgeous classic French car ( Estelle), French chateaus and a personalised tour. And we weren't disappointed!. We spent a fabulous half day visiting Chenonceau and a local winery that made sublime wines that we were able to purchase and enjoy... More

HIghly recommended and definitely worth the money. We took the train from Paris and it was no problem getting there and back. The area is beautiful, many really nice photos... More

My wife and I spend two terrific days in the Loire Valley with Susan and Simon. They were both gratious hosts and very knowledgable about all the various locations we experienced with them. Susan particularly had a vast knowledge about the history, architecture, art and culture of the area, and Simon was very adept with the spectacular car navigating the... More

Both Simon and Susan are wonderful guides and a pleasure to be around. Simon has a wonderful sense of humor and Susan is extremely knowledgeable about all the sites we visited. The car is also extremely comfortable and very fun to drive around in. We spent two full days with them and visited four chateaus, a winery, and the mushroom... More

The touring company has very professional and friendly guides in a fabulous and comfortable antique Citron. Their knowledge of the area and for me the horticulture of the area is amazing and one would think they were raised in France. They embrace the culture and the countryside and as a tourist you are able to share with them the warmth... More

We booked our 2-day tour on-line, and were very satisfied. Susan & Simon (Australians) picked us up at our hotel in Tours each day at 9am, and delivered us back at 6-7pm. We visited 2 Chateaux each day, as well as a restaurant for a typical lunch, and a winery. Simon drove us between all these destinations in Celestine, a... More

If you hate group tours and waiting for others, visiting where everyone else visits and just being a regular tourist, then you must try Loire Valley Time travel. Susan was exceptionally helpful, and fitted in with our somewhat unspecified plans about exactly when we would arrive. Due to issues with booking our train, we ended up with the slow train... More

When I first decided to go to Tours is was because it was an easy and cheap Ryan air destination from Stansted, ideal for a 3 day short brake. Although the town is small, it had the attraction of being in the middle of some of the most beautiful chateaux within the Loire Valley. As I booked the trip for... More

We spent a week in Paris and wanted a day out in the Loire for a change of pace. We couldn't have done better than our delightful day with Simon and Susan. They helped us to purchase train tickets to the Loire from Paris and picked us up at the station in the Citroen. The car was very comfortable for... More
