The tour was very good. Dear guide who spoke excellent English and explained everything well. The trip in the Renault vintage bus was very nice. Tripadvisor helped us super well when it turned out that I had planned my booking on the wrong date. Again my thanks to My Vintage Tour Company for that. We would not have liked to miss the tour

Champagne ride with Vintage van.
We contacted this company for our annual team-building day. We participated in the 3-hour guided tour, which included a bottle sabrage session in the vineyard. As an option, we also chose the Polaroid package: it involved taking six original photos, divided into two teams, and a winner was designated at the end. We really enjoyed our team-building activity; the guides' explanations were very clear, and we recommend it 100%.
