FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
Where does the Amboise, Chenonceau and electric boat tour start?
This private day trip can start from Paris or from Tours. Your driver-guide picks you up and takes you to Amboise and Chenonceau, then to the Cher River for the boat ride. From Paris, expect a longer day, since the Loire Valley is a few hours away by road. Your trip designer will confirm the pickup point and times.
What is the private electric boat ride under Chenonceau like?
It is a quiet, private outing on the Cher River. The electric boat glides under the arches of Chenonceau, so you see the château from the water. There is no effort involved: you sit back and enjoy the scenery at the end of a day of visits.
Which rooms do you see at Amboise castle on this tour?
Your visit of Amboise castle, set on a rocky promontory above the Loire, includes the royal apartments with the King's Chamber and the Queen's Chamber. You also walk through the gardens with their panoramic views over the valley and stop at the chapel where Leonardo da Vinci is buried, before heading to Chenonceau.
Is this tour a good option for travelers who want a relaxed pace?
Yes, it is one of our gentlest château days. You visit two châteaux in the same area, Amboise and Chenonceau, travel in a comfortable high-end vehicle, and finish with a calm boat ride rather than another visit. If you need extra breaks, your driver-guide can adapt the rhythm of the day.
