Discover the Loire Valley with a private experience dedicated to your travel party. Whether your interests lie in royal châteaux, vineyards, historic towns, or a combination of experiences, our private tours offer a wider choice of destinations than a scheduled small-group route.
Choose a castle-focused day, a private wine tour, or discuss a personalized itinerary bringing together several interests. Each journey is planned around your priorities while taking account of travel time, visit availability, and the length of your stay.
Chenonceau and Chambord are popular choices, but our private Loire Valley tours can include many other estates. Explore options such as Chaumont-sur-Loire, Azay-le-Rideau, Blois, Clos Lucé, and additional châteaux according to your interests and the route available.
Tell us whether you prefer royal history, architecture, gardens, or a varied selection of castles. Our team can help identify visits that work well together, allowing enough time to appreciate each estate rather than simply maximizing the number of stops.
Explore Loire Valley vineyards through a private wine itinerary that can include Vouvray, Montlouis-sur-Loire, Chinon, Bourgueil, and other wine-growing areas. Producer visits and guided tastings provide opportunities to discover local wines and different approaches to winemaking.
Focus on one area or discuss a route combining several destinations. Sharing your preferences in advance helps our team assess suitable visits, subject to winery availability and the practical requirements of the itinerary.
A private Loire Valley tour does not have to focus on a single theme. Depending on the time available, combine château visits with wine experiences or include time in historic towns such as Amboise and Chinon.
A balanced itinerary gives your party time to enjoy the visits that matter most. Our team can help assess which combinations are realistic within a day and which are better suited to a multi-day stay.
Choose a private day tour for a focused introduction or explore more of the Loire Valley with a private multi-day package. Private packages are available from both Tours and Amboise, offering different bases and itineraries for your stay.
A longer journey provides scope to discover a wider selection of castles and wine areas across several days. Browse our established packages or contact us to discuss your preferred combination of experiences.
Contact our team with your travel dates, group size, preferred starting point, and the châteaux or wine areas you would like to visit. We will help assess an itinerary suited to your interests and the arrangements available.
Inclusions vary by tour and package. Check the individual product page for details about guiding, transport, château admission, wine tastings, accommodation, and meals rather than assuming every service is included. If an inclusion is unclear, contact our team before booking.
Contact our team to discuss a private itinerary focused on your interests, whether you prefer châteaux, wine, historic towns, or a combination of experiences. Let us know your travel dates, group size, preferred base, and priorities so we can assess the available options.
