Fantastic trip. Hotels were tremendous, especially the meal in the hotel in Saint Florent-le-Vieil. Maps were good though I used my app Bikemap.net, to act as a Sat Nav. A couple of hiccups with luggaeew but minor in comparison with holiday organisation. Would certainly recommend.

Amazing food and service, overall good value. Unfortunately for us, the currents were too strong to sail often, due to heavy rain, so had to stay in Nantes for most of the time

Overall it was very good. Our guide Yannis was sweet, but I'm not sure if he's a good fit for this tour. The accommodations were excellent, the food was out of this world, but the walks started feeling like forced marches in the heat wave. The chateaux were gorgeous but the very last one on the itinerary was one too many (in my opinion). Villandry and its magnificent gardens should have been our final chateau, not another one the same day after lunch. I would have enjoyed more of an emphasis on the wines of the Loire Valley, with a guide who knew more about the area and local wineries. We had a great group, very compatible.
