Traveler reviews
A chance to see Champagne
Our driver was super nice and friendly. We visited 2 wineries, a look out point, had lunch in Champagne and also stopped at Moët Chandon gift shop. My wife and I wish we had a tasting at Moët Chandon but we didn’t. Overall it was nice to see Champagne and had a driver who knew the roads.
Amazing bachelorette party experience
I did this amazing experience with my friends in occasion of the bachelorette party of one of them. The organization was perfect: the pick up was super on time, we were in 7 and we had a minivan at our disposal. There was just another lady from US who was very nice. The journey was pleasant and the wineries we visited were totally amazing! The first one was a family winery that produces organic champagne (Lemaire) and the owners were so friendly and welcoming, we spent a couple of hours talking about their business and tasting different types of champagne. After that we spent a couple of hours having lunch at Epernay and then we went to the second winery, Moet et Chandon, more elegant and formal but still very engaging. I totally recommend this experience!
Great tour of Champagne!
Had a great experience with Oliver on our tour! He provided history on the drive and fun facts about the region. The salt cave tour was very unique and the second winery had a wonderful personal approach to the tasting and wine making process. He stopped at scenic points for pics and took pics of our groups. Mask and covid requirements were followed. Wish we had more time in Reims but the Cathedral was beautiful and information Oliver shared was a nice addition since the information posted around the Cathedral was only in French. Would highly recommend to friends!
A must do!
What an excellent day! This region of France has such beautiful views. We enjoyed spending the day with our driver and overall tour guide, Olivier. It was a great perspective to see a big company like Moet and Chandon and a family winery. We got excellent service and information at both. Olivier made stops along the way to show snippets of history and really added to the day! We truly enjoyed our experience.
I give this tour a 1 Star because...
<p>I give this tour a 1 Star because the champagne was delicious. The rest of the experience was not pleasant.</p> <p>8 guests are crammed into a van which really should only hold 6. 2 people are seated in the front on a bench seat so you are either jammed against the door or the driver depending on where you are seated. The driver was a nice man who clearly had a meal with garlic the night before. He also was unclear of directions so was typing on his GPS frequently. He also sent text several times while driving. He had some basic knowledge of the area. I dont know his name. Not sure he gave it.</p> <p>For the price, you get 2 glasses of champagne. Thats it. There is no opportunity to taste any of the other options.</p> <p>The cathedral in Reims was beautiful but its not necessary to spend 2 hours there. Would rather have had another champagne wine tasting.</p> <p>Save your money. Do not purchase this tour.</p>
