Expert, English-speaking tour guide
Entrance to Blois Castle
Pickup with name on bus. Ratri and Raymond professional and very knowledgeable. Mercedes bus, very clean and comfortable. Choice of itinerary just what I wanted! Not too much and good contrast. Time was short in Blois but I enjoyed Burger restaurant as recommended. No downsides!
