Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The Amboise Tourist Information Centre is located on the main road that runs beside the Loire River (Quai Charles-de-Gaulle). It’s just across the road from the Max Ernst fountain/statue.
Its only a small shopfront but look out for the flags sticking out above the door.
Amboise is a fairly small town and it’s easy enough to get around on your own but we had trouble finding the church, Eglise Saint-Denis so we popped into the Tourist Office to ask. A very helpful staff member gave us a free map of the town and marked the church and other main sights on it. Her English was very good, which made it all the easier for us.
He centre is well-stocked in brochures and leaflets about the attractions on Amboise and the surrounding area and there’s also a small selection of souvenirs.
Note: It closes for lunch between 1 - 2pm.

This is a fairly typical Tourism Office setup along Quai du General de Gaulle just a few minutes walk from the main street below Château Amboise. Opening hours are 10am to 1pm & 2pm to 6pm daily.
Felt very much like other tourism offices we found throughout the Loire Valley with many brochures for chateaus, wineries and other forms of tourism in the region. There is a selection of boutique style merchandise and staff on hand who can help answer questions you might have. A useful stop if required.

Our Office is in charge of the promotion for the Amboise area within the 25km around.
However, we also have information and documents regarding sites and monuments located in the whole Loire Valley. You may not have spotted them among the others.
We hope you had a very nice stay in the Loire Valley.

We popped into the offices of tourism to buy chateaux passes which is the best way to get the best deal to entrances passes to multiple chateaux and the staff were very helpful and friendly. We also popped in to get a list of taxi numbers for taxis that service Amboise - they were really helpful in offering the list, especially given it isn't straight forward how one would get a taxi in Amboise (as in there are no taxi ranks).

The ladies working in this office were extremely helpful . Everything from day trips, castle comparison and train/bus times. Note there is an excellent but little known car rental office in Amboise. It's the Renault dealership, DeSir Automobiles on Route D271. It's on the riverfront road 2 miles west of the Tourism Office. Our $60 for 24 hours included pick-up at our hotel and drop-ff at the station and 100 km miles. Plus just E5 for gas. (refule warning: gazoline means diesel).

Are there laundry or pressing services in Amboise? We have been advised that the hotel where we will be staying doesn't have laundry service (Pavillon des Lys). Merci
Written 21 August 2019
There is a laundry located on the parking lot of the shopping center Leclerc. It is an automatic laundry. It is situated avenue LĂ©onard de Vinci, appr. 3km out of the old town.

Bonjour.
Je serais curieux de connaitre les prix d'entrées, payés, AVEC réduction, pour le Chateau Royal, et le Clos Lucé ?
Car, moi, j'ai commandé à cet OT, et payé "Plein pot" !
Merci de votre attention.
