Customer Reviews
Wow 🤩! Can’t say enough about this experience.. We were so lucky to get TJ as our driver/tour guide. When I say he elevated the experience.. I mean it! He went above and beyond to include extras into the tour when we had the time. Seamless pickup, very knowledgeable and engaging throughout.. Two delicious vineyards. Many .. many.. glasses of champagne and an never ending multiple courses lunch.. I highly recommend! Well worth the $$$$.
Arthur went above and beyond. He made The day very enjoyable even with some hiccups. Note this is not a Veuve or Moet tour but he does his best to accommodate. He made the day

Wonderful experience with Thomel as our tour guide. Seeing the cellars and the fields and everything in between was awesome! Definitely worth the day trip and it also helped that the people we got to travel with were great as well. My only note would be to go somewhere different for lunch. A little too fancy and just average food. Maybe something a bit more rustic?? I am not sure what else is around there, so maybe there are not many options. But honestly it is such a short and unimportant part of the trip that it does not matter in the end. Overall a 5 star experience from top to bottom!
