Lovely Champagne Day from Paris - We have just returned to Paris from our day trip Champagne tour. We were 2 couples, and all 4 of us had an excellent time.
Gwendal was timely and professional, and very nice. He is quite comfortable in English. He clearly knew the people at the 2 houses we visited, and at the lunch restaurant, as things went seamlessly at all 3 stops.
While driving too and from Paris he left us alone (we were pretty tired), but if we had questions, and in Champagne, he was full of information.
The grand house we visited was nice, but the real gem was the smaller, family run house. We learned so much during our private tour, and loved the wine.
The lunch restaurant was very high end, with a fantastic setting.
We cannot say enough positive about Gwendal and our day out from Paris with him.

Gwendal the Champagne guru - We highly recommend this tour, especially for first time visitors. We visited at the very beginning of the season and visit two wonderful and contrasting Champagne Houses. Sandwiched between was a wonderful lunch, but all the way there, during and after Gwendal was filling our brains with so much knowledge of Paris, all things Champagne, Reims, Notre Dame, Epernay, Champagne Avenue the list goes on he is generally a French Historian with the patience of a saint! We visited Ruinart House in the morning and a new producer called LeClerc Briant (famous for the Abyss Champagne...Google it!). We felt completely spoilt all day. Wonderful guids at the producers. Fabulous tasting sessions and cellar tours (the surprise in the Ruinart cellar is fabulous, but no spoilers here, you need to visit). We would love to visit again at a different time of year and visit two more Houses to add to our list - we are now super fans of Champagne and that's mainly thanks to Gwendal.

Day-long Champagne tours - Gwendal was a great host and guide who gave us a day-long class on Champagne. He organized two tours of completely different houses which were both instructional and fun, with great tastings. He also reserved lunch at a Michelin star restaurant which was relaxing and worth the rating. Next time we get back to the Reims area I hope we can spend time with Gwendal again!

Once in a lifetime memory! - A must do private tour! The location is enchanting and our guide Gwendal just made it perfect. Life is beautiful and meant to be enjoyed. I am certain that you will cherished this tour as one of the best in your lifetime.
Gwendal is a superior guide, eloquent, courteous and knowledgeable. He greeted us at our hotel Chateau De Sacy right on time with first class transportation. He made the experience one of the best days in our European vacation. His itinerary included many sites along the region but the highlights were Pommery Champagne House, lunch at Royal Champagne Hotel and Spa and finally Leclerc Briant Champagne House. His choices were perfect!
I highly recommend this tour. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!

5 plus star rating!! - Great day! One of the best from our whole 3week trip through Europe. Amazing tour guide, so knowledgeable and kind. He even took us to a smaller champagne house that wasn’t part of our original schedule. Fantastic lunch high on a hilltop overlooking the vineyards. Top notch all the way! Give it a 5plus star rating!!
