Great tour

Maryann_D, Apr 2025

We had an excellent day with our guide, Julie. She was so knowledgeable and friendly. She took us around the region and showed us many places we would have never discovered on our own. She more exceeded our expectations. Our lunch was wonderful, all the champagnes were also very good. The only reason I did not give 5 stars was because of the very uncomfortable car! It was very difficult to get in and out with only the 2 doors. For the price we paid, we should have had a four door vehicle with more comfort. This was not a car for us in our 50s/60s.

Response from Host, Apr 2025

What a pleasure to read your great comment! We have 5 different vehicles and it is clearly indicated in the tour details before booking that if you prefer a classic car like a Minivan or Van just let us know because we have for couples a red electric E-Mehari which is a modern reissue of an iconic French vehicle which is very popular but actually a little raised jeep type. Merci.

Very good overview of Champagne but uncomfy car and bad lunch experience.

DRAGUTIN_G, Oct 2022

Very usefull tour with pleasant and knowledgable guide Nina - but with some glitches with the super-uncomfortable car and very bad luch experience. Microwawe prepared dishes in France!?

Response from Host, Nov 2022

Thank you for your message and the E-Mehari is a cool, iconic and special French car. If you prefer I have another more classic Premium vehicle which is indicated in the description and which you can request if you do not want to have a different experience. The lunch which was accompanied by a bottle of champagne for 2 is composed only of fresh and local products with a wide choice of hot dishes at this season that you choose yourself, all appreciate them because they are 100% French and local, sorry if you didn't like the dishes you chose, everyone normally loves it. Kind regards, Isabelle
