Chateau d'Azay le Rideau Tours and Tickets

Marvel over the majestic châteaux of the Loire Valley on this memorable half-day excursion from Tours. First, experience the glory of the French Renaissance as you explore the famous Château de Villandry and stroll the magnificent gardens. Admire the manicured landscapes and ornamental gardens; wander through the kitchen garden and classical water garden, then attempt to find your way through the maze. Next, journey further back in time with a tour of an authentic 16th-century château, where you'll indulge in a traditional aperitif and perhaps meet its noble residents.

Combine visits to three major Loire Valley chateaux on this 9-hour small-group excursion from Tours, France. With an intimate group of 8 people or fewer, visit le Clos Luc e, the Amboise Royal Castle, and Chenoceau for wine tastings and an included lunch. Skip-the-line entrance to the wineries are included.

The Chateau d'Azay le Rideau is one of the most beautiful of the Loire Valley castles, but it can get crowded in peak season. Ensure instant access with a pre-paid skip-the-line ticket and enjoy a self-guided tour of the magnificent Renaissance castle, which dates back to the 16th century.

The historic castles of Azay-le-Rideau, Langeais and Villandry are three of the Loire Valley's most popular attractions, but they're spread throughout the region and hidden in the hillsides. This convenient 9-hour bus tour makes it possible to check them all off your list in a day, and includes lunch with a tasting of Loire Valley wines. Delve into centuries of Loire Valley history with a guide and gaze out over the majestic Loire River.
