Reims Cathedral Tour - My guide was very personable and knowledgeable. She guided me through the Reims cathedral pointing out the art history and building features. She also guided me through the city sites, and areas of town, statues, buildings and Roman ruins.
Great tour!

Reims: a city to visit the champagne maisons - Reims is a small city only to stay if you will visit the champagne houses. The city has not a lot of activities, only the Cathedral and a few others. We took a private city tour but it is not necessary. The champagne maisons are the main atraction and the reason to come.

Do not recommend. - DO NOT BOOK THIS TOUR.
The tour guide didn’t show up at the designated meeting spot. We waited for an hour and they called over an hour later. We had already left and tour company and Viator refused to refund the amount.
