What a wonderful experience! Pierre was extremely knowledgeable about the different Champagne regions and wines. There was so much to discover, and we absolutely loved it! We had a great time visiting Reims, tasting champagne, and learning more about the region without having to worry about arranging everything ourselves. We would definitely book again if we were in the area

Reviews
We had the best time with Laurent in Champagne. The wineries were a great choice, and Laurent gave us a really good understanding of how champagne is made. We also loved having time to enjoy Reims along the way, which made the day even better. We highly recommend this full-day trip. You won’t regret it! 🥂
Claire was THE guide for the day! She knew so much about champagne, wine, and the Reims region as a whole. Extremely knowledgeable but also warm and easy to be around. We honestly had the best day. She brought us to a smaller champagne house that ended up being our favorite of the trip and we’re already talking about ordering more bottles once we’re home. We also loved visiting the historic cellars, which were fascinating to explore. Between the tastings, the lunch, and seeing more of the region along the way, the whole experience felt really special.
We had a lovely time discovering and tasting French wines with Laurent. He was extremely knowledgeable and did an excellent job presenting the different wine regions of France. I especially valued how patiently he responded to our countless questions. Strongly recommend!
Girls trip vibes all the way. The four of us spent an incredible day with Julien exploring the Champagne region. He was extremely knowledgeable about France, Paris, wine, champagne, and everything local. The day felt perfectly paced, truly well spent, and we all loved every moment — especially the champagne!
Wonderful history tour and descriptions of the process of champagne. Could have stayed in this region for longer even! Amazing experience all around, very personable!
We had a great time on this tour! Pablo contacted us before we left for our trip to make sure that all arrangements were made in order for things to go smoothly! He met us at the train station so we didn't have to concern ourselves with transportation issues. We learned a lot on our walking tour of Reims and really enjoyed seeing two different types of Champagne houses. The tastings were great and we came away with some knowledge about types of Champagne!
The tour guide Susan was great but the tour itself is way overpriced. There is no VIP or “private” to this tour once you arrive. The two tastings were with other folks, with the basic bottom on the line Champagne choices. I had to pay more to upgrade. I hear that there are better and more personalize places we should of gone to make this trip the experience we were expecting. Unless things change, it would be best for you to book your own train and research the best Champagne places to visit on your own.
The whole day was relaxed and enjoyable. Our guide Pablo kept the conversation going all day. The cathedral was beautiful and awe inspiring. I did not feel rushed all day. It was a wonderful break from the bustle in Paris.
Pablo was an excellent guide that gave us quite a bit of information about the region and different types of champagne. We also had a little time to explore Reims and see the beautiful cathedral. I highly recommend this tour.
Our guide, Brenda, did a great job. She made it feel like we were touring Champagne with a friend. Thanks so much, Brenda! For anyone completely new to Viator experiences, you’ll want to download WhatsApp. This is the primary way guides communicate with you. We sent Brenda some selfies via WhatsApp- that’s why mention this too. If Brenda is your guide, you’re in good hands.
We had an amazing day with Sophie. The Champagne tasting was a highlight, as was the delicious French lunch. Highly recommended!
We had the pleasure of taking a tour with Fred and it was an absolute delight! Fred's expertise and passion for the region was contagious and made the experience so much more enjoyable. The tour was well-organized and we were able to visit two fantastic champagne wineries, where we learned about the process of making champagne and tasted some amazing bubbly. The lunch was also a highlight, as was the visit to the Cathedral. I would highly recommend Frederic and this tour to anyone looking to explore the region with a knowledgeable and personable guide.
We spent a wonderful day touring Reims. The two wineries we visited were great and we learned a lot about Champagne. Lisa was a great guide who knew how to keep the group's spirits high. Great day all in all
Pablo was the most wonderful guide, he not only provided us with lots of information about champagne and the region, but gave us history of Reims and a small tour and history lesson of the Reims Cathedral. The wineries we toured gave great information and history into the process of champagne making, and the tastings were excellent and provided an opportunity to ask additional questions and learn more. It was so nice to not have to worry about any of the finer details and just enjoy an excellent day in Reims tasting champagne, and all of our group would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone!
Walking through the charming town of Reims and champagne tasting. Our guide, Bella, was knowledgeable and friendly. She made our day memorable.
We had a wonderful day with Isabella! She was a great tour guide and very knowledgeable! We learned a lot about champagne and Reims cathedral was beautiful! Highly recommend Isabella!
We had a wonderful day. We learned a lot and tasted some excellent champagne!!! We enjoyed visiting Notre Dame in Reims and had lunch in a wonderful family restaurant. All in the best company with Guillaume, a charming and very knowledgeable guide. Highly recommended if you want to spend a day out of Paris.
