Did this as a day trip from Paris for my 40th birthday and we had a fantastic time with our driver/guide, Lucas! So knowledgeable and personable! He picked us up right on time from the train station and we had the best day visiting the Veuve Clicquot and Moët champagne houses as well as Notre Dame de Reims. Had a beautiful lunch, too. Cannot recommend this experience enough!! First class all the way around!
Wonderful curated experience. We went to 2 famous champagne house, fabulous lunch and even an extra stop at a small tasting room. Our guide Lucas was friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating
Gwendal was amazing! He was so kinds and welcoming. We learned all kinks of insights about the history, the people, and what makes theChampagne region so special. Gewndal arranged tours at two champagne houses- at Veuve Clicquot and at Möet et Chandon. Each were very small groups, so had a personal touch. Our lunch at Le Jarden was lovely. We toured Hautvillers with the Abbaye Saint Pierre, renovated by Catherine de Medici and where Dom Perignon is buried. At the end of the tour, we walked up and down Avenue de Champagne, in Épernay, and Gwendal told us about the smaller champagne houses and gave recommendations for further tasting. It was a wonderful tour!
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!
We were picked up right on time by Lucas. Nice clean Mercedes for driving around the beautiful area. Let's start with Lucas, he was excellent (part of the 5 star grade). Full of knowledge, ease to understand, very likeable. An asset to that company. First stop Veuve Clicquot was also excellent. Guide was super, again full of knowledge and of course the tasting was excellent, generous. And of course their marketing (and boutique) is second to none. We left, drove to just outside of Epernay for a lunch at the stunning Royal Champagne Hotel and Spa. Stunning is the best descriptor. Wow. 5+++ Stars. Was not rushed there. Left and had a quick stop and talk with the famous monk Dom Perignon (lol) at his church. Fascinating. Then on to Moet (could not get into Ruinart), which was the weakest part of the day (for us). The tour was fine, then we got to the tasting, the champagne was poured and our guide said he had to leave, that a colleague would come down and finish with us. No one came down for like 15-20 minutes so we had to try and make our way to the boutique and the out to meet Lucas. That was poor. Finished the day driving back and were let off right at our hotel. A very very nice day. Thank you Lucas.
This tour was the highlight of our trip to France. Truly a luxury experience - everything was arranged for us by our guide Gwendal including one of the most incredible lunches I’ve ever had at the Royal Champagne Hotel. We toured Veuve Clicquot in the morning and a smaller organic house Leclerc Briant in the afternoon. Highly recommend!
We had a fabulous day! Lucas was kind, knowledgeable and very gracious. Additionally, the experience and every detail was thought of. We will have to do this again and know exactly who to work with! Our favorite day of the trip!
We had an amazing day exploring the Champagne region with our fantastic guide, Lucas. Lucas was extremely knowledgeable and friendly and we learnt a lot through the day. Would recommend Lucas and this tour to anyone!
Lucas was our driver - very informative and personable - he was very accommodating to four women! We visited Veuve Clicquot and Taittinger champagne houses. Both tours were excellent. The lunch was fabulous with an outstanding view!! Terrific day.
Sharing the Champagne experience with my daughter on such a glorious day with a great guide Gwendal who managed to make everything run smoothly, selected a complementary tasting pair with my favourite lunch venue in Champagne, the Royal Champagne. Thoroughly recommend Gwendal as a guide .
We had a thoroughly enjoyable experience visiting the famous Champagne houses in Épernay and Reims. Our guide Lucas was great.
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.
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.
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!

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!!
Fantastic experience! Gwendal was so nice and very knowledgeable about the area and champagne! He organized the perfect day for my mother and I! A visit to Veuve Clicquot which was top of my list and a wonderful tour and tasting! Lunch at Royal Champagne (superb!!!) - visit to a Leclerc Briant - a smaller house, so interesting! Couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Thank you!
Our guide, Gwendal made the entire trip so easy and comfortable. He took us to all the right places and personalized the itinerary to meet our requests. If you want to enjoy all the Champagne region has to offer, this is your excursion.
Gwendal/ Roger, were both amazing individuals to work with throughout the trip. They customized our experience which was perfect - including a saber experience! Best lunch scheduled at Royal Champagne Hotel & Spa!
Fantastic day with a superb host The two tours of the champagne houses were really interesting and got to have great champagne, followed by a sublime lunch - just a pervasive t day Can’t recommend Gwendal enough - he made the day!!
Great tour with a great host! Very informative yet not overwhelming. Flexible and plenty of time to complete the activities. Lunch was fantastic and the car was very comfortable. Highlight would have to be the Gosset tour, we were unfamiliar with the brand but very impressed with the tour and tasting!
I took my wife on this trip for her 30th birthday and we had the most spectacular day. Would highly recommend anyone looking to see the region, Gwendal was fantastic and was such a friendly host for the day. Our French is terrible but he guided us in English which was super appreciated. We ended up seeing both Gosset and Ruinart (ruinart was simply wonderful) as well as some of the more historical places and vineyards. The lunch at Royal Champagne was second to none!
Gwendal made all requests reality! We got exactly what was promised - 2 major champagne houses: Veuve & Moet&Chandon - as well as a most beautiful lunch. We had a little extra time & visited Dom Perignon’s burial place as well as Cathedral Notre Dame at Reims.
AMAZING experience and tour guide. I would highly recommend it. It was the highlight of our trip as we got to see so much history and the beauty of the region
This was a top-notch, must-do experience for us! I love sparkling wine and Gwendal made this such an educational and memorable experience. Everything was fabulous, from the selection of Champage houses to give us a lot of variety, to the phenomenal lunch at the Garden, to Gwendal’s ability to teach us all about the region and history. Wow! That’s really all I can say.
One full day in Champagne, we visited our favourite Champagne house Taittinger and a wonderful winegrower that was suggested by Gwendal. Thanks to him for having customize our tour in champagne. Top service, I highly recommend using his services.
This is a MUST do when in the Champagne region! Gwendal was an incredible host, so accommodating to our requests and extremely knowledgeable. He planned the perfect day for us including lunch which was incredible. I couldn't recommend this tour more.
Gwendal was great! We had such a wonderful time seeing Pommery and the other locations. Gwendal knew so much about the Champagne region and all of the best places for views/a little history. He even made accommodations for us so that we wouldn't miss our train back to Paris - the sights were beautiful and lunch was great as well!
We had a wonderful tour with Gwendal. Everything was planned to perfection. the champagne house guides were knowledgeable, the itinerary was perfect for us. Lunch at the Bellevue was fantastic.
Gwendal was a wonderful host. Every step of the way before, during and at the end of the tour he was punctual, considerate, courteous and responsive to our questions and concerns. He would be our choice for our next tour and we wish all tour guides were as well educated and communicative both with information of importance and response to questions.
A fabulous day visiting the Veuve Clicquot and Phillippe Martin champagne houses, and taking in the stunning Reims cathedral and Abbey of Saint Remi. Our guide Gwendal was very knowledgeable and looked after us well throughout the day. Many thanks!
RJF offers excellent service. We used them for airport transport, guided sightseeing and champagnehouse visits. Gwendal had a lot of knowledge on local history and wine-making. And he planned two very interesting champagnehouse visits at medium side manufacturers. I highly recommend RJF if you want too class transport, guiding and champagnehouse tours
Gwandel was great! The tour was a full day and he responded well to changes in schedule. He is very knowledgeable of the Notre Dame de Reims and the champagne region and process. The van was immaculately clean. Can not recommend enough!
Our tour guide was excellent and very accommodating to our two families filled with kids. His recommendations for restaurants and tastings were outstanding and his knowledge of the history behind all the locations was outstanding. Recommend to everyone visiting.
What a lovely tour! Our guide, Roger, provided excellent communication before the tour, letting us know of changes/substitutions to our itinerary due to Covid restrictions. He was knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. The cathedral is breathtaking, and we re-visited the next day, as there was a service going on during our tour. We visited the library in Reims, another cathedral, the Taittinger champagne house, and enjoyed lunch at La Banque in Epernay. We then visited Abbaye Saint-Pierre d'Hautvillers, and stopped to look out at the vineyards. Our last official stop was the Boizel champagne house. Since my husband and I were the only ones in the tour group, we were given the opportunity to stroll up and down the Avenue de Champagne. The next time we're in Reims, we will absolutely look for another tour with Royal Journey France.
I can’t say enough about this tour. Gwendol, our guide was delightful! And he was so informative. We learned so much about the Cathedral and the surrounding area. He provided great background information on the two wineries, before we took the tours. And he showed us interesting points of the church where Dom Perignon is buried. I would do a tour with Gwendol again, anytime. A fabulous day! Thank you Gwendol!!
To the delight of many, Mia Bremer is now back as a restaurateur. Ladugård 206 just outside Vadstena has long been home to Vadstena Kafferosteri and all the good cheeses. Now it all becomes complete with Mia Bremers Restaurant 2hundra6. Well composed and taste-proof in a wonderfully rustic and unpretentious environment. Mia’s enjoyment permeates the menu and rubs off on the staff who are on their toes without being intrusive. Thursday - Sunday you can enjoy “Farm lunch” or enjoy the a la carte menu. And don’t miss the salad buffet included with all dishes. Coffee after dinner is half price at Mike's roastery. If you feel like a bite to eat in the evening, Staffan probably has something good to eat.
Royal Journey offered us a great tour of the area, choosing the best restaurants and champagne houses. We had a very nice day. Thanks. Recommended , without hesitation.
