Gorgeous tour of Champagne region with also education on the area from historical perspective regarding World War I in World War II simply an amazing day, priceless!
Josef picked us up at the Paris hotel in his spacious van on time for a full day in wine country. He was organized, and very knowledgeable/passionate about champagne. He had d our day planned and tours prepared. He had lunch reserved and really taught us a bunch about champagne making. Never a lack of discussion topics and returned us safely and on time to the Paris hotel. Fun day would do it again for sure
We had a really great time. The guide was very friendly and very knowledgable! We learned so much and had so much fun. Glad we did it!!!
Jozef was great. He and his wife planned the trip for us, asking for our input along the way. He was incredibly friendly and knowledgable while driving us around, and was flexible to make some changes to our itinerary in the moment. We were also traveling with our 2 year old son, and Jozef was very accommodating to us. We had a fantastic time.
Our tour guide Jozef was the best. He planned our tour to accomodate whatever I wanted to do and what to visit in the region as a private for me and my sisters and husbands. He gave tips and ideas to make our tour excellent. Very knowledgeable in the Champagne region and all about champagne. So knowledgeable that I was able to answer the questions asked on our last tour visit at Moet de Chandon. Jozef kept us entertained during the long ride to and from the Champagne region to the hotel especially my brother in law and all the trivia and information on Normandy (where we would visit during our river cruise). We had a luscious lunch in a quaint cafe with champagne tasting and mixing of different champanges. Then my sister and I went shopping across the street at a French liquor store and bought Champagne! Would recommend this private tour for anyone going to France with family or friends. We all give this a five star review!!! MERCI JOZEF
We had a great tour with Jozeph. He was excellent and shared his wine knowledge in a beautiful journey. Took us to the best tastings in the region and delicious food. Very nice, friendly and educated driver. We will be back!!
We had a wonderful day touring the Champagne region with Emilie. She was knowledgeable about the region and very easygoing. Her vehicle, which she drove expertly, was quite roomy and comfortable. I highly recommend this tour. It was worth every penny!
Our group of 5 ladies from CA had the pleasure of spending 2 different tours with Josef - it was absolutely amazing! Our first tour was to Chateau Fountainebleau, which was both fascinating and scenic! Followed by an Michelin star lunch - all recommended and planned by Josef and his team. Great suggestions, knowledgeable about history and also on how to read the people he is taking around to ensure we are happy and enjoying ourselves the entire time. He made it so easy for us to customize the trip to what our interests were. The next tour (different day) we went to Champagne region and again his recommendations were on-point! He took us to the beautiful countryside, through the champagne caves from WWI, where there was an added bonus of being able to experience the champagne-house love of modern art - as they had amazing installations in the wine caves that you would never come across in a lifetime! We loved it, the food, champagne, the entire experience and cannot thank Josef enough for our best trip the France!
Joe was such an incredible driver and tour guide. He took us away from the normal tourist traps and to some amazing hidden gems in the Champagne region, he has insane wealth of knowledge for anything we asked! I traveled with my elderly grandparents and he was constantly offering a helping hand.
We had an amazing time with Jozef in Champagne. We knew nothing more than "we like bubbles" and now have a much better appreciation for wine and champagne. We loved the personalized attention, the stories, the food and of course, the bubbles. We will definitely be calling Jozef again when we go back to France - he made our long weekend a perfect break! We really appreciated that when we were in a tasting, Jozef was in the car, looking up where we could go to dinner on our own and making reservations as needed. It was above and beyond! Thank you!
