Best Champagne Tour!!! - What a wonderful tour! We were a group of four and met another group of four and had the best time. Our guide Victor was so knowledgeable and accommodating. We toured two houses and then we asked if we could do a tasting at Veuve Cliquot even though it was not on the tour and he made it happen! The lunch was amazing also. Would highly recommend this tour - it did not disappoint!!

Perfect way to visit Champagne - I recently did this tour with a friend and we had a fabulous time. Great value for money. Our guide TJ was a perfect host showing us Champagne and magical countryside. We had a great group of friendly people to enjoy it with. The lunch at Le Theatre Restaurant was outstanding as was the visits to Moët and Chandon and Le Clos Corbier winery, champagne flowed all day. I would highly recommend this tour.

A tour not to miss - Sebastian was our very knowledgeable and accommodating tour guide. He gave us very helpful information about the region, the history, and the champagne making process. We went to a high end restaurant with gourmet choices for lunch. The wineries chosen had excellent tours and tastings. The county side was just beautiful and Reims was a surprisingly charming city with the astounding cathedral where 30 French kings had coronations. Sebastian had a great sense of humor, was extremely flexible while keeping the tour on track, and was extremely kind to a member of our group who required more assistance. He spoke English well and even had a photo book to provide more background for portions of our tour. I consider this tour to be a highlight of my stsy in France. Great value.

The best tour ever! - Sebastian was our driver and guide. We could not have asked for a better guide! He was continually surprising us with helpful, thoughtful, and interesting things---he was right on time wirh a text to alert us he was nearby, his English was great, he gave us bottled water, he made rest stops for snacks and bathrooms, he made sure we were buckled up for safety, he told us interesting facts and stories on the way, he gave us an interesting photo album to look at during lunch and driving, he took us to a beautiful restaurant for lunch which impressed me, an experienced gourmet, with a delicious and imaginative menu, he made us feel very special by offering a surprise tasting at a beautiful scenic spot at the end. I am also a disabled person, and Sebastian was so very kind and thoughtful to make sure I got in and out of the van safely and helped me prevent extra walking by driving me to one of the points of interest. Thank you so much Sebastian! I will request one of your tours next time!

Excellent Experience - Very satisfactory experience with Thomas. He kept us on time, and threw in some nice surprises along the way, including a Champaign break with breath taking views. He even went more than 15 minutes out of the way so we could view a cemetery we asked about. We visited a one large Modern Champaign Co-op with tasting, and another very s Champagne House with tasting. We were a group of 5, and it was just us in the van. I highly recommend experiencing Champagne France this way.
