This tour was outstanding. Our Guide Mr G made it. He was knowledgeable, very enthusiastic and he tailored the visit to our interests. We visited two smaller vineyards for some great tastings as well as visiting the home of Don Perignon. The tasting were well chosen to match the champagne we liked. It was great to experience a range of products, with a guide who was enthusiastic about the difference. We would highly recommend taking this tour.
This was the perfect day! Delicious champagne and lovely tour of the countryside. Excellent experience!
Very well looked after by our extraordinary guide, 'Mr G'...a most comprehensive tour blending history with the present...and of course champagne...in the morning!.. Will recommend to friends...
Amazing tour with a more behind the scenes of the Champagne houses around Epernay with knowledgeable guide. Mr. G was extremely passionate and talented tour guide. The tour takes you to smaller vineyards with a much more personal and charming feel with amazing scenery and delicious champagne. Would absolutely take this again and cannot recommend it enough
an excellent tour of the champagne region in france. Mr G was a great host, helpful in guiding us on the train times and pickup locations. Spacious van for our family, he had child seats for my kids and snacks for them. usually champagne/ wine tours are not family friendly but he was able to customize the tour to what we wanted to do. He has a deep knowledge and expertise in this area and a real passion for champagne and the history of the region. would absolutely recommend him and his tours to others.
The half day champagne tour begins in Epernay. Mr G the guide and driver, spent some time at the start getting to know how much we already knew about champagne and what our interests were for the tour. This meant he was able to tailor what he spoke about and other aspects to us. We drove around the area learning of the vineyards and champagne process as well as visiting 2 champagne houses for tastings. It was really enjoyable and informative. We visited small houses with excellent champagne and tried a wide variety of types.
Mr G was a fantastic guide and both knowledgeable and passionate about champagne. Took us too really cool off the beaten paths champagne houses. Even great with my little kids. Went out of his ways to pickup my family at a diff train station which was a better schedule for us. Would 100% rec him to others who want a relaxing and informative day in the champagne region.
Awesome day with Mr. G. We learned a lot and got out to some smaller family run champagne houses. He made us feel special. Loved it!!
I loved riding in the countryside and seein the beautiful landscape and vineyards. This tour far exceeded my expectations. The half day tour was just the right amount of time. Our guide, Mr. G was very knowledgeable about champagne and the area. I highly recommend this tour.
We booked this trip as part of our 50th Birthday celebration while staying at the Royal Champagne Resort and Spa. What a wonderful experience with a knowledge guide. Although it was snowing and middle of winter, our guide "G" showed us a few small champagne houses in Southern Épernay. We learned a lot about champagne production and what separates the larger houses from the smaller houses. What a great day sipping champagne in Champagne!
