I am a solo traveler and went on the Champagne tour. It was a full day, but I learned a lot through the stops and the tasting portions of the day. Also, the drive into the country was a wonderful break from Paris. I would recommend this tour.

An outstanding experience for all of us including kids! The dedicated and experienced tour guide picked us up at 8am in front of our Airbnb, then we arrived the champagne house for an 1.5 hour tour and tasting, followed by a family-owned wine pairing lunch. Our tour guide Nikita also gave us a surprise towards the end of the tour which was highly enjoyable and entertaining! Overall, I strongly recommended this tour to everyone who wants to experience the Champagne vineyard for a day trip!
Excellent experience. Must go trip! Transportation is comfortable with a big Van picking up 7 of us. It’s not rush during the itinerary. A little surprise by the tour guide during the end of the trip which I will ask you to experience by yourself
The tour guide provided a wealth of information on various topics, making the experience both informative and enjoyable. His willingness to assist with photos was greatly appreciated. The visit to the Moet and Chandon house was outstanding, especially the house’s excellent guide. Overall, it was a fantastic day and an exceptional tour, offering great value for money.
This was my first time visiting Paris. I was to celebrate my 50th birthday with 2 of my closest friends. I booked this tour months in advance of the trip. 2 days before we were to arrive in Paris I got a call and text messages from someone from this company telling me I need to change the date of the tour because they did not have a driver. I informed them that wasn't an option because our entire vacation was already planned out. I should have known from that conversation this was not a professional company handing this outing. Upon arriving in Paris I got another call asking me once again to change the date because no driver. I than reached out to someone through the Viator app. They assured me that there were no issues with the tour. Someone named Victor harassed me about changing the date of the tour to the point that I asked him to just cancel the tour because I was no longer interested in going. Someone is lieing and this is not professional. He than tells me there are no refunds. Now I'm going back and forth with "Victor" and someone through the Viator app. They know nothing of a sick driver and he's telling them he didn't tell me that. Of course I pulled up all the text messages that I had with someone from his company. It was so stressful I called my bank and I'll let them handle my refund. Extremely unprofessional employees and very inconsiderate.
My recent trip to the Champagne region was truly enchanting. The tour at Veuve Clicquot gave me a fascinating look into the world of champagne-making, and the blind tasting added an element of surprise that made it even more enjoyable. The restaurant provided us with a immersive culinary experience, highlighting the rich local flavors. The communication throughout the trip was prompt and helpful, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable journey. This adventure was a perfect blend of history, taste, and luxury, leaving me eager to return for more.
The day was such fun and our driver/ tour guide was so engaging. He made our small group gel really well. It was awesome.
Our driver, Benoît, was very friendly, and knowledgeable about the Champagne /Epernay region. He was a safe driver , but also informative about the history of the region along the drive & gave us many photo opportunities. Our group of Texas ladies appreciated that be was English-speaking & helpful with communication. He took us to 2 wonderful champagne houses & then a delicious, 3-course French lunch. The grande finale was quick stop at Veuve Clicquot headquarters.
Our guide/driver was super knowledgeable and very informative. The best part was when we stopped in the side of the road by a vineyard and learned about the history, science and art of champagne
We were picked up from our hotel, and we headed straight to Epernay with a quick restroom and coffee break along the way. At each stop, we had tastings and tours pre-booked so that all we did was show up and the champagne house was already prepared for us. We also did a 3 course lunch at a local restaurant. The trip was very well organized and I could not have planned it any better myself. We concluded the day at a small local producer for an intimate tasting before heading back to Paris.
We had a wonderful trip! Our guide and driver - Victor- was helpful and made our trip relaxing and fun! The lunch at the chateaux was absolutely perfect! It was one of our best days of our vacation! Thank you!
What a lovely day! Couldn’t ask for better! Our guide and driver, Tom, made it even better! Two great tours with tasting as well as a small boutique tasting and lovely 3 course lunch. I highly recommend this tour and I hope Tom is your guide!
Great time! Highly recommend! Our tour guide/driver Tom was FABULOUS! He made our trip one to remember!
Tom was great! We had such a fun tour and I met so many amazing people. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. 10/10 recommend!
