Check availabilityA private tour means your party and nobody else. Three are sold for Chambord, and they cover the three ways people want to be private: a guide inside the château, a guided day from Paris, or simply a car and driver.
All three are priced per person on the booking page, so check the fare for your party size before you compare. What they share is control: your pace, your questions, and on two of them your route.
More than 60 rooms are open, and a private guide goes where you want to go. Stay on the staircase, skip the apartments, or head for the terraces first.
The private walking tour runs in French, English, German, Italian or Spanish. Group departures are mostly English only.
The private walking tour is the only product for Chambord that states wheelchair access, on the step-free ground floor and in the gardens.
The private car from Paris lets you choose from Chambord, Cheverny, Blois, Chaumont and Amboise, and change your mind on the road.

For most couples a small group is the better value, and it is small enough. For a family with young children or an older relative, a private guide who can slow down or reroute is worth the difference. The post on private or group works through it.
You get a guide or driver for your party alone on all three. The walking tour and the wineries day include your château tickets; the wineries day also includes guided visits at Chenonceau and two tastings.
You don’t get admission on the private car, where you pay at each door, or lunch on any of them. Hotel pickup comes only with the two Paris days.
Two hours inside for your party, tickets included, in the language you choose.
