Champagne house visit - It was a nice and small group of people. Francesco, our guide was great. Everything was well organised, all the trip ran on time and we had a fun afternoon between tastings and visits to Champagne houses. Worth taking for beginners. Ann & Andy

Wonderful Champagne Houses with a knowledgable tour guide - Met at the train station and we all got into the same car - a large people carrier style and headed into vineyard country. Had a wonderful explanation of the different grapes and the importance of the Champagne Region. Our tour guide was so knowledgeable It was lovely spending an afternoon with strangers all round the world! Was made to feel extremely welcome and was fascinating how the smaller houses work with the larger houses Was quite tipsy after 3 glasses of champagne at each champagne house and had a rather memorable drunken conversation about Taylor Swift on the way back to Reims! Was well worth it

Worth every penny! - I loved the small group. We had a really fun bunch of folks. Jerome was a fantastic tour guide. Stopping at the cathedral first and learning the Dom Perignon history set the stage for the rest of what was shared about the Champaign region about the champagne region and it's growers. The tastings were delicious and the timing of the tour was perfect. Jerome made sure we got back for our trains on time!

A different side to champagne - The tour guide was really friendly and knowledgeable. Lovely to get a different experience going into the countryside and visiting family growers. The tastings were a little on the small side compared to the other tours we've been on. However would still highly recommend.
