Entry was quick and efficient. The histopad was such a great way to enhance the visit and learn loads of history in a fun, interesting way. Chateau de Chambord is an architectural feast on the eyes and the very unusual double helix staircase was something special. I loved it.

Most of all I loved our guide Alex, very knowledgeable thoughtful and entertaining. The castles were unbelievable, certainly says a lot about French history. The lunch at the chateau was simple but the iconic setting in the unspoilt chateau in it's original construction was a unique treat. As we traveled along Alex pointed out other castles and told us of their history and their intimate stories. I highly recommend this tour.

In addition to the magnificent shows, the stunning sets, and the breathtaking effects, the venue is very clean and the staff is very friendly. We noticed that despite the heat during our visit, the huge number of visitors, and the fact that we sometimes had to wait in direct sunlight, the atmosphere remained calm and courteous—no one got upset or annoyed.

The staff at the entrance are very friendly. Be prepared to climb a few steps, but the view from the city walls is absolutely stunning. Inside, the tapestry room is extraordinary, with scenes and symbols worth examining in detail—ideally with a guide who can provide explanations. There’s also a small courtyard with a spot that serves excellent, refreshing handmade juices and much more.
