Pricey, but worth it. TJ, our guide. was fabulous! Saw 2 champagne houses, tasted much champagne and visited the cathedral in Reims. Now we are ready to start our own champagne house! Not really, but you do learn a lot of valuable information.

The guide was very knowledgeable. We were able to learn a lot about the area and the process of champagne making. I only wish the blind tasting were another winery but it was just a tasting at a view point.

This trip has been our favorite part of visiting France. TJ was a phenomenonal host and guide; we learned so much about the region, it's history and the process of Champagne making. It was the perfect pace - a great mix of chill and take it all in vs. go-go-go. Lunch was great and having a translator was quite helpful to understand the French food. We did two Champagne houses, a Champagne Alley gift shop, a great lookout point, and a beautiful cathedral. It's clear TJ is passionate about Champagne, and we loved having an American living in France as our guide. It felt like hanging out with a old friend. Highly recommend this tour and TJ as the guide. If you are hesitant, book now!

The lunch was amazing! We did not get to tour Moet or Veuve so that was somewhat disappointing. We did tour Nicholas Feuillatte which was nice. We also toured a smaller champagne house which was cute, but too quiet. I could have done without too tours and gone straight to the tasting on the second. Also wish we could have spent a little more time in the towns…they were so cute.
