Visit Château Gaillard in the Loire Valley with an art historian guide, Renaissance rooms, orangery citrus tastings, and fragrant gardens.

“Upon checking out previous views on Château Gaillard, we found some negative reviews. We decided to try. The Château and gardens are lovely! We've found that Châteaus come in different sizes and restorations. Château Gaillard was just such. Not the shiniest, but quaint and charming. We felt it was worth the price. Interesting relics, vintage items and paintings. Minimal crowd. A nice place wander around and take your time. Tall mature trees and nice gardens are beautiful! Try the blood orange wine in the bar. It is delicious! Bought a bottle for later. Relaxing and beautiful. Give the Château a try!”

“This was a great tour! Worth the money! I was coming in from Paris on the train, cutting it really close. Everything went smoothly until I got to the train station and there were no taxis. In a panic and not realizing I could have called an uber, I called the company and they graciously sent the tour guide to come pick me up! It was great service! The tour itself with Killian was fantastic. He is so knowledgeable and shared interesting facts, never repeating himself. He is also funny, personable and professional. The wine tasting portion was also so fantastic! I learnt a lot and the lunch afterwards was…”
