It was great. The tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly. The samples of champagne were amazing with and option to but straight from the vinyards.
Anne was a great host. Loved the vineyards we visited. Thanks so much!
The tour was very well planned. Gerome was very accommodating. He guided us through the day very well and informed us about champagne production. The visit to the first winemaker was very pleasant, one felt comfortable and welcome; at the second winemaker, it was the opposite.
Thomas was our guide. He was extremely knowledgeable and personable. He was able to answer any question and even shared his own list of favorite champagnes. One of the best excursions we have had in a long time. Great Day!!!

Pickup with a transit bus, van, whereby the guide is also the driver at the same time. Visit to 2 champagne houses with a tasting of 3 glasses of champagne each. Tour through the Champagne region. Second operation a bit smaller and family-run, therefore with more information and nicer care for our group. Overall nice experience.
