Reims and Champagne, Nice Day trip for Paris - The meeting point is on the backside of the Louvre about 10 feet from the metro station. Our guide, Serge, was extremely knowledge and an excellent driver. He also had a great sense of humor. This was an interesting trip and it was nice to be outside of Paris for the day. After visiting the Cathedral at Reims, we had time for lunch on our own and a short walk around town. After that. we visited a Champagne cellar in Reims and then drove out to country side where we visited a fascinating museum about the history of Champagne making. We had tastings in both places. We then had another short drive to an interesting country church where Dom Perignon is buried. Serge provided interesting details at each stop and on the drive back to Paris. The van had two rows of three seats. and although not luxurious was fine as we didn't have anyone in the middle seat. The entire trip took about 11.5 hours.

Yes! To this tour & Philipe is top notch guide ! - Enjoy this full day in the glorious Reims area .. see the magnificent Reims Cathedral then a full tour of Champagne production followed by tasting the champagnes. So much to learn and Philipe provided so much more additional information.. after lunch we continued on to another exquisite champagne producer and finally to the small village / home to the now deceased monk Dom Perignon who is credited with coming up with the process of champagne production. Highly recommend this! You will enjoy.

Champagne tasting in Reims - We wished the tour guide did more talking during our road trip to Reims. We felt he did the bare minimum. We enjoyed what we saw and were thankful the transfer back to Laris was seamless.

Awesome full day experience - Brilliant experience in the Champagne and Empernay area. We got to understand the history and tour the area and experience some wonderful champagne. Our host Roland was outstanding and incredibly knowledgeable and interesting (you will be lucky to have him!). The lunch was excellent too.

maɡˈnifəsənt Tour - This was a 1st Class Tour, so many great things to see. Our guide was amazing with his history and informative commentary. He knows all the people along the tour and made the experience well above expectations. Plan accordingly as it is 11-12 hours in total, but well worth it. Champaign Region is maɡˈnifəsənt.

Great tour - will definitely be back some day! - Champagne is a fantastic, beautiful place to visit Wish we had more time Would like to have visited a couple more ‘recognised’ champagne houses and sampled more 😛 Our guide Serge was great, however he could have stopped for a few more photos along the way. He was knowledgeable and great company with a funny sense of humour

Champ-pain: a brut(al) experience - Honestly, as someone who is super social I love doing stuff like this on my own when you can expect fun drinking and meet new people, however this was not the experience of this, the title was deceiving. For starters it wasn’t clear where to meet and the facilitator was about 15 minutes late which was annoying. The man who was leading it wasn’t French but man did he want to pretend like he was one of them with an angsty attitude. It was not welcoming. But overall the worst part, was you literally get 3 tiny tastes of champagne for a 6 hour tour and it just isn’t worth it. Save yourself your time and money and just go and drive to champagne yourself, you’ll try more and have better company even if you are alone.

Miscommunication issues - We were running late on the Paris trains the day we were scheduled (the day before the opening ceremonies of the Olympics, so there was a lot of travel issues in the city). We emailed Viator at 7:30am (following the procedure on our booking info that said to Viator an email and they would contact the tour agent) that we would be at the pick up spot at 8:21. Viator said they emailed the tour conductor. When we arrived we had not heard back anything and contacted Viator who said they had never gotten an email acknowledgement from the tour director. We later saw a What's app text that had been sent to a number we did not have access to at the time, asking if we were planning to come, sent at 7:55. We did the best we could with the information we had to alert them of our slight delay. We would have appreciated at least a partial refund.
