Extraordinary!

5.00It was an extraordinary day despite the extreme heat of the heatwave. Our guide Jeanne made all the difference. She was attentive to us, helping us appreciate the experience despite the suffocating heat. Thank you, Jeanne!! The experience itself is truly worth it. Very glamorous at Veuve Clicquot, delicious local cuisine, breathtaking views, and a very nice family vineyard.
Exceptional tour, well paced with great guide, tastings and lunch

5.00Suzanne was superb! She made every minute of the tour extremely memorable, informative and fun. Her depth of knowledge is exceptional and her English is fantastic though she grew up in the Champagne region! Also the pace in which she organized stops, allowed time to take photos and shop, and to finish our tastings and meal were much appreciated, yet the tour ran exactly on time. We got some excellent group photos out of it as well. We’ll recommend this tour to all of our friends who visit Paris or the Champagne region. They time the tours to align with the train schedule from Paris which is convenient.
Reims recommended our the great champagne houses

5.00Earlier this weekend visited Mercier in Epernay (tour) and today Veuve. Of the commercial champagne houses this is definitely recommended on a summer Sunday. Incl a Veuve branded attractive patio terrace where the food is surprisingly good and the wine list friendly in price. Nothing hurried and by French standards there could be smiles and friendly chat under the service itself.

5.00Chloe made our full day tour of 3 champagne houses very delightful. We saw the large producers and small producers. We had a relaxing lunch at one of the houses. Chloe did a great job of explaining the champagne process and the region.
Perfect Day!

5.00Wonderful champagne experience, starting at the House of Veuve Clicquot, then out into surrounding countryside for a delicious lunch, more champagne tastings and finally to a small family run winery with plenty of opportunities to sample more and buy. Our driver/guide Marcain was excellent, knowledgeable and great company!

5.00The experience was outstanding. The extensive range of prestigious Champagne houses, particularly the Veuve Clicquot tour, was exceptional. Thomas demonstrated extensive knowledge and expertise as our tour guide throughout the day. The lunch with paired champagnes was an unforgettable experience.

Three Times in Champagne: Still Worth It, But the Shine Has Worn a Bit
Richard P,Apr 15, 2026
- Review from Tripadvisor
4.00We have now done three tours through the Champagne region, which is probably one more than strictly necessary (Alicia would say definitively one more). That context matters: we came in with high expectations and a low tolerance for filler. Our guide Chloe knew her material, but leaned too hard on a brand of humor built around fake threats and provocative jokes. It got a laugh or two early on and landed with a thud by hour four. Veuve Clicquot was the whole reason we booked this tour, and the caves alone justify the visit. They are vast, ancient, and quietly spectacular. No access to production, but the story of the widow Clicquot herself is genuinely fascinating, and the tasting stepped up with two 2015 vintages: a blanc and a rosé. Vintage Champagne is the exception rather than the rule, and both were lovely. Le Clos Courbier fed us well enough. Hummus and cheese pastries to open, a pastry-wrapped meatloaf-style main, bread and cheese, cream pastry to finish. Comfortable and convivial, without anything that will haunt your memory. Hautvillers is worth seeing once. We had already seen it. The church where Dom Pérignon is buried is atmospheric and historically interesting, but it doesn’t improve with repetition. P. Lancelot-Roger closed the day, which meant a third walkthrough of the Champagne production process in a single afternoon. By this point the riddling racks held no mysteries for anyone in our group. Skip the lecture, go straight to the tasting: their Grand Cru Brut Nature was the best glass of the day, and at €29 a bottle it was a genuine find. We bought one. Two things the operator should fix. First, no water anywhere: not on the bus, not during tastings. On a day structured around drinking, this is a real oversight. Second, our previous tours in Bourgogne always started with croissants. It sounds trivial, but those small gestures are exactly what separate a good tour from a memorable one. This one did not clear that bar. Solid, honest, and worth booking if Champagne is new to you. If you have done this before, go in with calibrated expectations.
