I will be traveling solo and do not want to drive to the various chateaux, markets and interesting towns and/or villages in the Loire Valley. I would like to hire an English-speaker driver for three or four days in May whose rates are reasonable. (From my perspective, $1,000 a day is far from reasonable.) I have not booked my reservations, but I was thinking of staying in Tours. A few months ago I researched this trip, and when I checked their rates, it did not fit into my budget so I put the trip on the back burner. I am again thinking of doing this trip, so if anyone knows of a driver, it would be great.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

The only company of which I am aware that provides the services meeting your overall requirements is Leisure Tours. I am unaware of their rate structure so my apologies if indeed this is the $1000/day company to which you refer:

Otherwise you may want to contact the Office de Tourisme in Tours directly with your request:
http://www.ligeris.com/
They will have knowledge of all that is available.

Hi Sarastro -
Thanks much for the very quick response. I will contact the company. Just looking at their site, it is probably a $1,000-a-day rate. I was hoping for a personal recommendation of someone who was self-employed. Their rates are usually lower. Safety is prime along with insurance and English-speaking.
I will also contact Tours%26#39; TI.
Again, thank you very much for the info.
