Loire Valley Multi-Day Packages from Tours
Make Tours your base for a multi-day exploration of the Loire Valley. Ophorus offers both private and small-group packages from Tours, giving you the choice between a journey dedicated to your party and a scheduled experience shared with fellow travelers.
Discover different aspects of the region across several days, from its celebrated châteaux and historic towns to its vineyards and wine producers. Compare our itineraries to find the right balance of experiences for your interests and preferred way of traveling.
-
Small-Group Loire Valley Packages
Our small-group packages offer established itineraries for travelers who enjoy discovering a destination with others. Follow a planned program of Loire Valley visits, with the destinations and arrangements described on each package page.
This format is suited to travelers who prefer to choose a published itinerary rather than arrange a personalized route. Review the individual packages to see which châteaux, wine experiences, and other activities are included, as the program varies between products.
-
Private Loire Valley Packages from Tours
A private package offers a more personal approach to exploring the Loire Valley. Choose an available private itinerary or contact our team to discuss a stay focused on castle heritage, wine discovery, or a combination of experiences.
Depending on your interests and visit availability, château options can extend beyond Chenonceau and Chambord to include Chaumont-sur-Loire, Azay-le-Rideau, Blois, Clos Lucé, and other estates. Private wine experiences can explore areas such as Vouvray, Montlouis-sur-Loire, Chinon, and Bourgueil.
-
Enjoy More Time for Châteaux & Vineyards
A multi-day stay allows you to spread visits across your itinerary rather than fit every interest into one day. Explore a broader selection of castles, include vineyard experiences, and discover different sides of the Loire Valley while keeping Tours as your base.
For a private stay, share the visits that matter most to your party so we can assess a balanced program. For a small-group package, compare the published itineraries to select the combination of experiences that appeals to you most.
-
Compare Itineraries & Package Inclusions
Each package has its own duration, daily program, and included services. Check the individual product page for accommodation arrangements, transport, guiding, admissions, tastings, meals, and any independent time.
Reviewing these details helps you understand how your stay will be organized and what is covered by your selected package. Do not assume that all private and small-group packages include the same visits or services.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is included in a Loire Valley tour or multi-day package?

Should I choose Tours or Amboise for my Loire Valley package?
