Our tour guide did a great job explaining the three different champagnes, the grapes in each bottle, and the different parts of Champagne France where the champagne is made.
If you love champagne and don't want to deal with some of the other Seine cruises that are overcrowded, then this is the best option. You get three glasses of champagne and a bottle to take home with you. You also get a private area at the front of the boat where you can drink your champagne and take pictures of beautiful Paris. Plus the staff from O Chateau are incredible!
This Seine River tour was amazing. We had a wonderful sommelier. We sat in a separate section up front and had private access to the outside
It is very fun! So worth the money to be part of a more private tour. The sommelier was so kind and knowledgeable.
Loved this. Amazing champagne and sommelier! We cruised around the island which allowed you to experience the Seine in a different way.
Excellent trip. Tasted three excellent champagnes (generous glasses) while cruising the Seine. The tasting is held privately on the front end of the boat with fabulous views and flexibility to be inside and/or out. The sommelier guide was so knowledgeable about the champagnes. Lovely early evening cruise. Don’t miss this.
This was the best! It was so fun and not at all packed. Easy to find and lots of champagne! Would reccomend!
This was a fun experience. The sommelier was interesting and very informative, he made the session fun. I won't give too much away! A tip though, nibbles are not provided, if you like to have nuts or similar with a drink, you might like to take something with you. The trip is a nice way to see Paris, especially if you've nit been before. We had a lovely hour soaking up the atmosphere with a drink or two.
I did this Cruise with my mother, sister and two teenage daughters. We found the sommelier would navigate towards some groups and stay talking to them (even when we would be standing next to him waiting for a glass of champagne). At one point another passenger said to him “excuse me those two women are waiting for drinks” he replied “oh yes I know” and carried on talking… this was rude and very unnecessary. We also had bought the ticket with a champagne of our choice. This was not the case. By the time we got our bottle it wasn’t what we had asked for but merely what was left. That was a disappointing way for our cruise to finish. The pros of this cruise are the views and in a relatively small group of people.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My girlfriend and I had a wonderful time on the Paris Seine River Champagne Tasting Cruise! The views of Paris from the Seine were beautiful, but what truly made the experience special was our sommelier. She was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about champagne, explaining each tasting and recommending several fantastic bottles to us. She also generously kept our glasses topped up with complimentary refills, which was such a thoughtful touch. On top of that, she happily took several photos of us, helping create wonderful memories. Her warmth and excellent service made the entire experience unforgettable. If you’re looking for a relaxing and unique experience in Paris, this cruise is absolutely worth it. Highly recommended!
