A Day in the Champagne Region - Sebastian was great! Not only did he explain the champagne process and informed us about the area, he always made sure we were comfortable. Tastings were fun. Hotel pickup was an added bonus.

Champagne - Had a fantastic day with Themur as our guide, I was a solo traveller and was joined by another 2 people and the tour still went ahead. Themur was so friendly and welcoming. Lunch was 5 star quality and the 2 champagne houses we visited was certainly generous in their servings for the tastings. Highly recommend this day trip.

Great trip with a lot of experiences! - Just a very good trip with great information on how to make champagne, to the history, to the well thought out ride from our tour driver allowing us to see some other sections and have a sit down picnic. And really got us back in time in Paris! Which was amazing by itself. Only wish the van had some plugs for USBs. On a long trip like this people's phones die quickly.

TJ was a fantastic guide! - My wife and I met a couple from Australia, a man from Calgary, and two women from Chicago. It was a great day as we got to know the other travelers as we learned about champagne production and bottling. The Riems Cathedral was truly amazing! A fantastic experience!

Excellent tour of Epernay and Reims! - We visited Le Clos Corbier (local family producer) and took a full tour with champagne tasting and lunch in the garden. Next, we stopped by the vineyards and took in the views (TJ treated us to more champs). Then, we stopped by the Moet & Chandon boutique. Next, we visited Canard - Duchene for a tour and more tasting. Next, we stopped at Veuve Clicquot boutique for some shopping and pictures. Last stop was Notre Dame de Reims which was stunning!
