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.

What travellers are saying
- EdiskiEdinburgh, UK122 contributionsInteresting trip. Guide is provided via WiFi on your smartphone. Provides history of the caves and you can see how the mushroom industry evolved. There’s a little shop where you can buy their mushrooms and a cafe restaurant.Written 23 June 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Nicolas CMontsoreau, France40 contributionsSuch a place to visit for its activities on Maison du Parc in Montsoreau. All around the earth and planet Terre to learn or remember about our concern in the future for us and our childrenWritten 9 July 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- DilbertfanSurrey, UK448 contributionsThe village of Montsoreau is one of the 150 or so “Most Beautiful Villages of France” and the castle is of course considered to be one of its highlights. It sits in a commanding position on the banks of the wide Loire river, and the views from the top of the castle are exceptional.
The castle is bare inside: no furniture, no armoury, no draperies etc..., so a permanent exhibition has been set up throughout the rooms. Sadly it is about contemporary “Art & Language” and is unlikely to wow a majority of the visitors. I personally thought it was awful. The only plus point is that there is a lot of English translation for Anglophone visitors. Entrance fee is just short of €10 per adult.Written 26 April 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It’s nice and cool inside which was a welcome break from the afternoon heat. The guided wine tasting was conducted by Olga who was very knowledgeable and didn’t rush the group. Five wines were offered for tasting and there was a full description provided and some history and geography of why the area is a wine making region. the wines were very good and no pressure to buy anything.Written 23 June 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Paul B7 contributionsNot always open at the published times, but I was able to get in on my 3rd attempt.
Said to have been neglected as there were 3 other churches in Montsoreau, but I wonder if it was really because it frequently flooded?Written 27 August 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Paul HMcLaren Vale, Australia43 contributionsOK, lets start with the fact that the boat 'captain' and commentator doesn't speak English. He says that upfront, and then tries his best to get snippets of info across. We are in France!
Next, the cruise only goes ahead if there are 10 or more reservations, so outside of peak season you'd be advised to book at the start of your stay, then be flexible.
Now that is out of the way, if you sit back, relax, enjoy some excellent vin de pays (local wine), and let the afternoon flow you will have a beautiful cruise on a 'wild' river (it is not dredged and not navigable by large ships), meet some new people while mingling on the front deck, and be entertained by the local wildlife.
The food was excellent too, local meats, rillettes, mushroom caps filled with local delicacies and, if you choose the big lunch, chicken. All finished off with coffee and a lovely apple tart.
This seems like a family business, run with passion. It was such a pleasant way to spend a perfect autumn day, and our last day in the Loire Valley.
Thank-you to the crew of The Amarante.Written 21 September 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
