Delightful experience - Isabella was very personable, which alone made the tour a delight. Adding to that Isabella was extremely knowledgeable about the world, nay the universe, of Champagne. Quickly giving a concise, thorough and easily understandable background, Isabella expand on this and was able answer all the questions we had completely with a joyous spirit and a clear love of Champagne, the wine and the region. From Dom Perignon's church and the village where he experimented with the local wine, until he had perfected the Champagne method to the intimate boutique family run biodiverse organic Champagne houses to the Avenue de Champagne in Epernay we were allowed to experience it all. It was one of those serendipitous events that allowed us to meet Isabella and we feel all the more knowledgeable, worldly and fortunate for it.

Champagne in Epernay - This tour was perfect for my wife and I. We really enjoyed getting out of downtown Paris for an afternoon. Our guide was very knowledgeable and a joy to spend the day with. The champagne was exceptional and learning more about the process was great!

The perfect tour - What a fantastic tour we had. Emma was our guide for the morning and she made it absolutely perfect. With her happy, enthusiastic attitude along with endless knowledge about the wine and area we can absolutely say we would recommend anyone to book a tour with her and the team. We could have spent the rest of the day with her actually but we only booked the morning tour. We hope to have another opportunity to come back and if we do, we will be booking again. Thanks to Emma, Isabelle and the team for giving us the perfect experience. Merci :)

Happy experience - The guides were delightful, caring, knowledgeable, punctual, friendly, well organised. However, I do think it is overpriced for the time and experience involved. The car was fun, but noisy, and difficult to hear the guide’s words. I don’t think it represented good value for money.

Not a great tour - We were met by our guide who went and got coffee for herself first. No water was provided which wasn't great. The vehicle was too small and very uncomfortable. Visiting Dom Perignon grave in the outer village was good however we felt their other tour pushed us along at a hurried pace. I do not recommend this tour.
