Amazing day. Enjoyed learning about the process of making champagne and visiting a small family producer. Had some excellent champagne that is not available in the US. We had an amazing lunch with champagne and wine in a lovely setting. The cathedral in Reims and the Roman history is amazing. Our tour guide took great care of us and I left the day wanting to go back and do and see more.
Wonderful experience. We have been to Champagne 3 times and this was the best. Tong was very knowledgeable and passionate about Champagne and other areas. The lunch was fantastic as were the tastings. Definitely would like to visit again with Tong.
The tour turned out to be even better than what we expected! Our tour guide Chong was very knowledgeable and fun! The tour was fantastic, the food was fantastic and the two champagne houses and the chalk tunnels were great! We especially enjoyed the Cuperly Champagne was our favourite, the champagne was delicious snd the staff were amazing… I even got s photo with the owner. Our time spent in the county of Champagne and the city or Reims was most beautiful, enjoyable and relaxed… very quiet in comparison to Paris. I highly recommend this tour!!
Our tour guide is extremely knowledgeable, friendly and fun. Loved going to the family owned winery and learning the process from a small business perspective. Reims, cathedral and lunch were all exceptional . Of course the Pommery cavas was extraordinary.
Extraordinary! Incredible guide - tasting accompanied by complete and rich information! One. Complete experience!
Amazing experience, Trong is an exceptional guide and is deeply passionate and knowledgeable about the local community. Breakfast and an exquisite lunch are included on the trip, as well as additional excursions. Drive was quick and scenic from Paris and pickup locations/dropouts are flexible. They work with you to make it most convenient. Absolutely would recommend. Champagne is also easily accessible in about 45 minutes from Paris using the fast train.
Overall we really enjoyed the whole day. Chong was knowledgeable, experienced and had a good rapport with his contacts in Champagne. He shared his knowledge of the region as he was local to the area, which gave a more person touch.
Champagne is an excellent destination, only 145 kilometers from Paris, 2 hours by car, 45 minutes by train. It is easy to visit the vineyards, the different houses for interesting tours and to taste and buy the products. The cathedral in Reims is magnificent!!
Excellent tour to the Champagne region visiting wineries and the lovely town of Reims. Our tour guide Trong was exceptional and went above and beyond to tell us about the region history, people and farming.
Our guide was super knowledgeable. He took us to a small family producer and a large champagne house. At the small champagne producer we tasted champagne, which could not he exported to the United States. Lunch began with an excellent champagne made from the grapes of our guide’s vineyard. Would definitely recommend this experience for anyone interested in spending a day in champagne!
