Excursions in town on River Loire (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tours

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'excursions' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'town on river loire' is the second definition.
'tours' can be an answer for 'town' (I have seen 'French town' mean 'tours' so perhaps 'town' could also mean 'tours'). I am not certain of the 'on river loire' bit.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tours that I've seen before include "Capital of France's Indre-et-Loire department" , "Martin's home" , "city in France" , "Excursions" , "extended trips" .)
