Traveller reviews
Very good experience with our guide Jerome today. E-bike ride with informative stops with guide explaining history of champagne-making. Highly recommended!
We had an amazing experience with Ann on our tour around Reims/Epernay. She was very knowledgeable, personable, and brought us to two phenomenal champagne houses. She helped us organize lunch, and got us some extra tastings. Highly recommend for your trip in Reims
Had a great private tour with a very knowledgeable guide (Thomas). The guide picked us up and dropped us off at the train station in Reims, which made it an easy day trip from Paris. We visited some small growers in the champagne region and learned a lot about the champagne production process.
Producers carefully chosen based on request at registration. Impeccably thoughtful and skilled guides native to the area. Comfortable pace. Excellent lunch experience at Le Corbier. Overall, I can’t imagine a reason to choose any other service in this region.
Theo was a wonderful guide. We went to two exceptional family champagne houses. Had a fantastic day and can’t wait for our champagne shipment to arrive at home.
We had the most wonderful visit to Champagne. Perrine was the most welcoming and fun tour guide! She was so knowledgeable and helped us learn all kinds of fun facts while we enjoyed the beautiful region and amazing champagne. We would highly recommend a private tour with Perrine to make the most of your visit to this beautiful part of France.
Perfect cutomer service from start to finish. We booked a private tour with a preset schedule. Clarification of payment, tweaks of the the schedule could be arragend in one quick phone call and some emails. The tour was planned to start at 10:00am with pickup in our Hotel. The guide was waiting at the lobby at 09:50. (This enlightned my german "on time is already late"-heart ;-) ) Martin is a well seasoned guide, a lot of knowledge of facts and dates but is also well connected with the wine grovers you visit and you really get insights in whats going on rather then getting reproduced memorized scripts. TOP guide, highly recommend asking for him. He is also very whitty and got a great sense of humor. It was a "a friend shows you around" experience and not "a guide doing his job". 6 stars out of 5 For lunch went to the A la Francaise Headquarters in the Champagne region, where you can meet also the other groups of the day. While waiting on the Aperitif we had the chance to chat with the owner about his concept of tours. Great guy with some brilliant ideas. Lunch was prepared onsite by their own chef and it was very good. Wine and champagne were included with the lunch. We visited two wineries, and went to many hot spots in the region. Perfect day to get an idea of what to visit and where to go on your one. The weather was not the best, but this is nothing I can blame A la francaise for. Long story short. Great company, great offering. Will recommend you on any occasion. Btw: Is there a chance your Chef can send me the recipe of the meat pie you served Oct 1st? ;-)
This was a wonderfully affordable tour! Martin was an amazing tour guide whose English is perfect! Martin went above and beyond for our group (I was the only single in a group of 3 couples) and we all had an informative blast!
