I'm looking for a small group or private tour to visit Chenonceau, Chambord and Clos Luce in the Loire Valley. I'd like the tour to begin in Tours where we will be staying. Many tours I've searched either begin in Paris, or split the desired chateaux into different tours. I'd like the hired tour guide to guide us through the chateaux, and skip lines at the locations. Does anyone have any recommendations on the best way to visit these 3 destinations in one day for a group of 5 (2 adults and 3 teens)? A nice lunch or wine-tasting would be a plus, but not necessary as we can do that separately. Am willing to pay for a nice tour if you know of one. Thank you!

This company has an all-day tour that goes to Chenonceau, Chambord, Cheverny and either Amboise (chateau) or Clos Luce. I don't know if that means they pick which of those last two or if you have your choice of those, but it wouldn't hurt to call or email them and ask. http://www.accodispo-tours.com/tours.html
Many of the Loire valley tour companies also offer customized tours but of course they do cost quite a bit more. One good place to check is the website for the city of Tours tourist info.

Search Quart de Tours. This company offers tours to all of those places (not on the same one). However, they aren't necessarily tours but are transportation and provide discounted tickets.
