This was such an amazing trip from Paris! Our tour guide, Aurelien, made it worth it! He was a sommelier turned tour guide and we were so well informed on our bus ride there.. when the champagne tour guide asked the group questions, only our group knew the answers!! Aurelien was amazing, fun, professional and hugely knowledgeable!! Definitely worth the extra money to have a smaller group with this caliber of tour guide.
