For the past few years, the Tours Loire Valley Tourist Office has been forming a community of Greeters. Martin, Elsa, Fabrice, Evelyne… they all feel a strong attachment to their region and want to share their knowledge of their town with visitors free of charge, in Tours, Amboise, Chinon, Loches, Rochecorbon and Sainte-Maure-de-Touraine. Visit the www.loirevalleygreeters.com website, for details about where and when you can visit (Please note: there is a maximum of six people in an outing with a greeter).
Other kinds of guides are also available: Vincent Delaby (Vinoloire) offers his services to introduce you to the diversity of our wine estates, while with Elo Bike Tours, you can ride a vintage Post Office bike and enjoy the well-chosen commentaries of a guide as you pedal along the charming country roads near Chinon.
With the Val de Loire Ecotourisme association, you will go from one discovery to another, during walks accompanied by an eco-guide, from the perspective of sustainable development! As for Aurzelle da Silva (Loire Passion Guide), she will immerse you in the history of the Loire Valley.
