Retroemotion August 2023
What was in the description was respected and satisfactory. Nevertheless, reservations are at the minimum rate in each place (you have to pay a supplement of 5€ to have the right to a guided tour of a castle... reservations from room to room ... The troglodytic cellar at Montsoreau is of no interest and has nothing to do with oenology: we're given a testvin and you can try it for yourself! Given the selling price of this service, we're paying dearly for not organizing it ourselves.

Wonderful well organised trip
What a wonderful well organised trip we had. From a lovely classic car from a delightful car hire man to amazing scenery, vineyards and hotels in Loire valley, excellent all round, would do it again and very good value for money too!

Very well organized stay
Very well organized stay, we received instructions a few days before departure and were able to organize ourselves accordingly. The activities were of high quality. Our days were not too full, which allowed us to organize other visits in parallel. A big plus for our accommodation! Our hosts were warm and welcoming. We enjoyed our stay, thank you for organizing everything for us!

Journey of discovery
This was very well organised, lovely accommodation, the gastronomique meals were a real treat. Wine tasting provided a good variety of wines and a great personal experience. Chateau visits very interesting. Will definitely use Vinotrip again and recommend to my friends. A good addition to the package would be a detailed map of the locations that are visited.
