We thoroughly enjoyed our One Day Loire Valley Discovery tour with Gerald! Gerald was very informative and kind to us, and we had a wonderful time. Getting to spend the whole day with just him (as opposed to in a large group) made the experience much more personal, unique, and memorable. We were able to not only ask lots of... More
