    We enjoyed a great day with our very professional tour guide Alex. The visit to Reims gave us ample time to explore the cathedral and its surroundings. G H Martell champagne house offers a lovely informative tour and champagne tasting experience. The trip through the rest of the valley and the champagne museum, put all the information in perspective. If you enjoy the culture of champagne, i can recommend this tour.

    Great deal on a great trip!
    Shuhan_W, Sep 2022
    This tour was amazing with fun-packed and educational activities! Our tour guide Serge was clearly passionate about what he does and did a great job introducing us to the beautiful history of Champagne. We were in a small group that made the tour a lot more enjoyable as well. I was initially hesitant due to the lower cost and small number of reviews but quickly dispelled my doubt once the tour started. We had an awesome day!
    Terrific and unforgettable trip
    Konstantin_V, Sep 2022
    Absolutely fantastic trip! Serge - the Gide is one of the best with plenty of knowledge of history of France, kings life, architecture, arts,etc. His knowledge of Champaign region is unbelievable. Unforgettable trip. Thank you!!
    Citroen brake down and champagne
    Saloni_D, Dec 2019
    Our car broke down 30 mins into the tour, we were made to stand in the cold till the tow truck came. Even then the new car took a while and the tour was delayed further by 2 hrs. Then we set off but we’re rushed to finish everything planned. We got back to Paris at 8:30 pm after finishing the tour. Our tour guide tried his best to make it up and Overall Champagne-Ardenne cellars was good but the tour company needs to fix its cars !!!
    Wonderful day trip from paris.
    John_D, Nov 2019
    A small group of us had this tour to Reims and champagne region. The driver was very informative and we learned lots about champagne making. Also the tastings where great. The stop at Reims Notre Dame was a Highlight and we also had time for a Lunch in the town. Very worthwhile Spend. Highly reccomended.
    A long drive in the country
    Nola B, Sep 2019
    We were disappointed as we had done a similar tour with a similar price a couple of years ago. The wine tasting was 3 small glasses of okay wine and we were left between refills in a room which was awkward and not a cellar door experience. The last tasting felt like a filling in of time with 1 tasting and too much time sitting around waiting to hop back in our vehicle to check out Dom Pérignons burial site then whizzed back to Paris. I would not recommend this day tour.
    Informative tour with good variation

    We had a great time. Our guide Mr. Reza was a wonderful guide. Fluent in english and thoroughly knowledgable.
    Great day trip
    Tony B, Jun 2019
    There were only 3 of us on this tour which was great. Our guide was very helpful. The tour in the wine cave was interesting but it was difficult to understand what the host was referring to. His English could have been better. The light house museum with champagne tasting was fun and informative. Overall a great experience. Would recommend.

    This tour was really great. We got to see the Notre Dame Cathedral in Reims. Then we did a wine cellar tour and tasting. The champagne was delicious. We then got to see a lot of the local area of the Champagne Region. And we got to see Dom Perignon's grave. This tour was wonderful and our tour guide was very helpful. The only negatives were traffic coming back into Paris it took 3 times as long to get back -- prepare to be sitting in the car for a long time and the museum was only so-so, but the views from the light house were amazing. I would recommend this tour.

    Barbara M, Jun 2016
    We booked this tour because the excellent itinerary was just what we wanted. We were primarily interested in the Reims Cathedral and the tour description promised a guided tour of this landmark. We have more an interest in the champagne and wine making process than actually in the champagne so one cellar visit and the museum at Vernezay was perfect for us. As it turned out, the guide was terrible. We drove to Hauvillers, our first stop - more than 1 hour from Paris - without the guide saying one word literally. We had to ask him his name when we arrived at the village. He gave no commentary the entire day. The museum and the wine cellar had their own commentary and guides so our guide was unnecessary at these places, but he gave no explanation about anything we passed. He did not talk the entire day. When we finally arrived in Reims, our last stop, the guide did not even go in the cathedral so of course there was no guided tour as is promised in the tour description. The Reims cathedral was on my bucket list so this tour was a big disappointment. My opinion is that the tour company, France Touisme / Paris Tourisme Agency, should lose their license for false advertising of this tour since there was no guided tour of the cathedral. It turns out that the guide's English was limited even though this was an English language only tour. The other members on the tour were equally disappointed because all they wanted to do was drink champagne. Either they were misled by the tour company only one cellar was to be visited or they made their own mistake by not understanding the tour description. I really can not say enough bad about this tour company and the product they gave us in this tour.

    The tour was nice. Drive in the country side was picturesque. Our guide Pauline was extremely knowledgeable. The Cathedral in Reims was a treat. The cave tour at Pommery was very interesting. My 2 main disappointments were our driver Wade and the amount of time we had for lunch and seeing Reims. Our driver acted like he had never driven in France before. Despite 2 navigation systems the vans and our hosts phone and verbal directions from our host, he continued to make multiple wrong turns and needed constant hand holding at almost every turn/exit in the road. He also needed instructions on utilizing the toll booths bc he had know idea which lane to pull in or how to obtain the ticket. He needed the same guidance on our return through the toll booths. It almost became comical, but truthfully, your company should not have such an inexperienced driver taking groups out. Secondly, the time in Reims for lunch and seeing the city was limited to 1 hour. Lunch alone took just over an hour - so no time at all to see or visit any shops

    Serge our guide was wonderful. He never got tired talking and was pleasant the whole trip. The Reims Cathedral was beautiful and so was the Abbey were Dom Perignon is buried along with the reliquary of St. Helena. Of course we had champagne tasting 3 glasses and visited the vineyards. My only complaint though was the minivan was a bit cramped for 8 people. Overall, we had a great time.

    Our guide, Serge, was fantastic. He went above and beyond to explain the history of the sites that we were visiting plus he commented on places we would pass by in the mini-van. It was great! The cathedral was gorgeous and the history is amazing. The visit to the champagne cellars was interesting and the champagne of course was fantastic! I will recommend this trip to others.
    Kiva pienen ryhmän retki sampanjan maailmaan
    134mariv, Jul 2019
    Meitä osallistui vain 4 kpl ja ei ollenkaan privaattius haitannut. Kuski/opas puhui hyvää englantia, tosin välillä jopa niin hyvää, että jäi osa ymmärtämättä, ehkä ranskalainen painotuskin saattoi hieman tuoda lisähaastetta. Auto oli kelpo biili ja matka taittui mukavasti. Vettä kun olisi ymmärtänyt ottaa riittävästi mukaan. Käytiin ohjelman mukaisesti katsastamassa paikat ja opas kertoi aina kohteessa infoa, matkustaessa ei niinkään, mutta se ei haitannut. Aikataulu oli melko napakka, mutta ehti hyvin lounastaa ja käydä nopeat shoppailutkin Reimsissä pariin otteeseen. Hautvillersistä olisi ollut mukava kuulla enemmänkin kaupunkikävelyn aikana. Oppaalla oli selkeästi paljon tietoa. Sampanjaa tarjottiin kahteen otteeseen, se on varmasti tärkeä tieto kaikille. Sampanjakellarissa oli viileää ja moni värjötteli kesämekossaan. Villatakki mukaan! Lähtöpaikka Pariisin keskustassa oli jo auki, kun menimme seitsemän jälkeen eli siellä voi hengailla bussia odotellessa. Suosittelen retkeä!
