The tour said we would be picked up in a van, we were there more than half an hour before the pick up time. The driver arrived late, and when we asked if he was there for us he said no. We waited a long time until he then said he was there to pick us up. The car was not a van but a small sedan very dirty and it smelled horribly, not suitable for such a long tour. The driver was also rude

We thank you for taking the time to leave a review and bringing the above to our attention.
The cathedral at Reims was magnificent, the wineries we were taken to were the ones we requested and did not disappoint but best of all Hanza took us on the exact tour we asked for, showed us some beautiful French scenery and went out of his way to make our day memorable.
Our driver "Ali" was pleasant, and on time. But this is NOT a tour based on the other 5 tours we did through Viator on our vacation to Greece, Turkey, and France. Rather this was a very expensive car service. The car itself was a very low end Toyota and not the luxury Mercedes van depicted in the picture. There was no talking, no "tour guide" experience. No discussion, no history, and for about 40% of the questions we asked, we were given either incorrect information or no real information at all. Actually, Ali was quiet, not saying a thing for at least 90% of the time we were together. For the cost of this tour, almost $900, we could have booked a driver/Mercedes from Uber and saved about $400 in total. We wanted to be sure to hit one Champagne house in particular, so we took care of those reservations but asked that the Tour company do at least one more and to make a recommendation about lunch. None of that was done. Would we recommend this company? Possibly, as they were communicative. Were we happy with their choice of "Tour Guide" no. Would we recommend d this tour? Absolutely not - not at this price and what is provided. Not a good value, not a good tour, not a good experience.
