Max was our guide - nothing was too much trouble. We were picked up on time from our hotel and shared the tour with 6 others. Our visit to Taitinger was fantastic & we got to try several champagnes. The visitors to Reims and the cathedral was great and then onto lunch at the local champagne producer was superb - the food & champagne were excellent. We made a last and unexpected visit to Moet & Chandon and were able to experience another tasting (at our own expense). One again Max was very knowledgeable and a great guide for the day. Highly recommended this as a day trip.
Kira_H, Aug 2026
Very nice experience. Our guide Malsim is perfect to explain and help show us around. Not too packed on schedule and a lot of champagne
Tina_C, Aug 2026
Max, our guide was amazing! Friendly and knowledgeable and totally catered the day to the experience we were looking for. I would highly recommend this tour and this company!
Scott_H, Jul 2026
Great day! Spent the day in the beautiful region for my husbands 50th. Alex was great and went above and beyond.
Stephen_W, Jul 2026
The four of us had an outstanding tour of the Champagne region, including visiting two champagne houses, the Notre Dame Cathedral if Reims and a delightful lunch featuring local specialties in a beautiful open air setting. We went into the cellars where we learned a great deal about the history of Champagne and details about the process from the vineyard to the aged bottle of fine champagne. We enjoyed two tastings of a variety of types of champagne. We had comfortable transportation from our hotel in Paris and back. Nikita, our guide and driver, was great and had a great fund of knowledge to share with us. We would definitely recommend and would do it again.
Sandra_C, Jul 2026
An amazing tour. Nikita drove expertly and did not talk too much on the way, allowing us all to enjoy the ride and scenery. He made the day so much fun and returned my hat to me. I left it in the can and he returned it to my hotel the next day. WOW! What a great day.
Dan_M, Jul 2026
Wonderful tour! You get a LOT of value in this tour- we tasted 7 champagnes plus a liqueur as part of the tour. The included lunch was FABULOUS! Our guide, Tomer, was so friendly, knowledgeable, and had great energy throughout the day. The countryside is absolutely beautiful as you drive between the different champagne houses!
Irina_A, Jul 2026
Our group of 7 had an absolutely incredible day on this champagne tour from Paris to Reims! From start to finish, the experience exceeded all of our expectations and was filled with wonderful surprises.
One of the highlights was visiting the historic Veuve Clicquot Champagne House, which had been at the top of our wish list. We also toured the magnificent Notre-Dame de Reims Cathedral, where our guide shared fascinating historical stories and details that made the visit so much more meaningful.
The day included a fantastic lunch, a lovely stroll along the famous Champagne Avenue in Épernay, and plenty of opportunities to enjoy the beautiful scenery. To top it all off, we were surprised with a sabrage lesson, where we learned how to open a champagne bottle with a saber—such a fun and unforgettable experience!
Everything was perfectly organized, and our guide was knowledgeable, engaging, and made the entire day enjoyable. If you’re looking for a memorable champagne tour from Paris, we can’t recommend this one highly enough. It was truly one of the highlights of our trip!
Denise_C, Jul 2026
This was such a fun experience. Tomer was the best guide/driver. We recommend anyone curious about champagne to do this tour and enjoy every second. It’s all so beautiful…
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you for your wonderful review!
We're thrilled to hear that you had such a fun and memorable day exploring the Champagne region. It's great to know that Tomer helped make the experience special with his guidance and enthusiasm throughout the journey.
There's something truly unique about discovering the beauty, history, and craftsmanship behind Champagne, and we're delighted that you enjoyed every moment. Thank you for your recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back for another fantastic adventure in France soon!
Sherene_L, Jul 2026
This was a really good tour. Tomer was our guide and he is very knowledgeable and friendly.
the only thing to note is that the 8am start is the expected time to be on the road towards Reims. this means if there are multiple people to pick up your start will depend on the order the driver is picking up to be on the road in time. My start was 7:15am. the driver will text you sometime the day before so look out for that.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience!
We're delighted to hear you enjoyed your Champagne day trip and that Tomer made the journey both informative and enjoyable with his knowledge and friendly approach.
We also appreciate you pointing out the pickup process. Your explanation about the scheduled departure and individual pickup times will certainly be helpful for future guests preparing for the tour. We're glad everything ran smoothly and that you had a great day exploring the Champagne region.
We hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable experience in France!

Alex was a friendly and knowledgeable host. We had a great time even with extreme heat that day. The champagne caves were enjoyable. Highly recommend!
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for your lovely feedback! We're so glad to hear you had a great time on the tour with Alex. It’s wonderful that you were still able to enjoy the experience despite the hot weather.

Fern_G, Jun 2026
Timer was an excellent driver and was well informed about champagne the region and its history
Visit to taittanger vineyard and caves built by monks was really fascinating
Wish I was better informed how cold it would be in the wine cellar as I did not bring a jacket
Lunch was great and more than enough
Would highly recommend
Alicia_A, Jun 2026
TJ was an incredible guide—so knowledgeable, engaging, and he made every part of the day fun and memorable. The tour was perfectly organized, with visits to two wonderfully different Champagne houses, a stop at Notre-Dame, and a special visit to the vineyards with absolutely incredible views.
We learned so much about the Champagne region and the production process, while also enjoying the beautiful scenery and history. TJ’s passion and expertise really brought everything to life.
This was easily one of the best experiences of our trip, and we’re so glad we decided to do it. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the region! It was a really nice change of scenery from Paris!
David_A, Jun 2026
Long but fun day trip out of Paris. Our guide picked us up at the hotel, and was a great driver and guide for the day. We saw a few champagne houses, got a great tour of a production facility, did several tastings, and even had time to self-tour the cathedral in Reims. We were back in Paris by dinner time.
If you can’t do an overnight in Reims, this is the next best option!
Donna_R, Jun 2026
The two champagne houses we visited were great. The group size of 8 guests was the perfect size for this trip. I appreciated being picked up and dropped off at my hotel (not all tours I looked at did this). Lunch was very good. The tour description was a little misleading, as we did not stroll the Avenue de Champagne. My main disappointment was the tour guide, who was on his phone for the majority of the time and seemed very distracted. I expected him to interact more and give us history and insights into what we were seeing along the way, which he didn't do much of. He also pretty much ignored us during lunch. I don't feel this was worth what I paid.
Donna_P, Apr 2026
Fantastic! We enjoyed learning about making Champagne and the history of the region. We went to small establishments and a very large cooperative. All were interesting and informative. Our guide Arthur was helpful, kind, and a good historian. Lunch was terrific, too.
Natalie_N, Apr 2026
I had high expectations for this wine tasting trip, and I can confidently say they were not only met they were exceeded in every way. From start to finish, the experience was seamless, enjoyable, and truly memorable.
A huge part of what made this tour so exceptional was our guide, Tomer. His knowledge went far beyond just champagne he brought the entire region to life with fascinating insights into its rich history, culture, and traditions. You could tell he was genuinely passionate, and that enthusiasm made the experience even more engaging.
Tomer explained the champagne making process in a way that was both informative and easy to understand, whether you are a beginner or already familiar with wine. He also shared historical context about the region that added so much depth to the tour it felt like more than just a tasting it was an immersive experience.
The vineyards and houses we visited were beautiful, and everything was very well organized. I left with a much deeper appreciation for champagne and the region itself.
I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area. It exceeded all expectations and was truly one of the highlights of the trip.
Zeds, Apr 2026
What a great day! From start to finish this was a great experience. The day was full, but we never felt rushed and the places we saw...AMAZING. Tomer was extremely knowledgeable and made the day educational and fun. We highly recommend this tour!
tgriggs7, Apr 2026
The day trip was amazing. The driver Tomer was very nice and shared a wealth of information with us between each tour. I will definitely do it again.
Autumn_P, Mar 2026
Alex with Go Go Tours did an amazing job with this all day tour and made it a very enjoyable experience. We had a blast and he kept the champagne flowing and the good times rolling!
Tiffany_G, Mar 2026
Alex did a great job showing us around and knew a whole lot about the champagne making process both the old and new ways. What a treat today was don’t miss this tour.
Andrea_P, Feb 2026
Alex was hands down the best tour guide! This tour made our Paris experience so much better and truly unforgettable. I can’t recommend it enough — it’s an absolute MUST DO!
Sonia_D, Feb 2026
Very enjoyable experience and tasted different champagnes. It was very nice to have the pick up/drop off option as it just made it easier and I wouldn’t have been able to experience this otherwise.
Lisa_A, Jan 2026
We had the most enjoyable day and highly recommend anyone wanting to explore this region to take the tour. Our guide Alex was fantastic!
Brittany_M, Jan 2026
Alex was truly an exceptional guide and made our day trip to Champagne one of the absolute highlights of my time in France. He not only took us to two stunning champagne houses, but also educated us along the way about the region, the champagne-making process, and even the culture of Paris. His knowledge was impressive, and he shared it in such an engaging, approachable way.
Alex was incredibly sweet, attentive, and thoughtful throughout the entire day — providing water for us, playing great music during the drive to make it fun and relaxing, and making sure we were comfortable every step of the way. He even capped off the day with a breathtaking sunset over a vineyard (which I know can’t be planned… but I like to believe he somehow did 😉).
As a total surprise, Alex gave us the opportunity to saber a bottle of champagne — a personal bucket-list moment I’ll never forget! It was such a special touch and truly elevated the experience.
His communication before the trip was also excellent. He checked in ahead of time, clearly confirmed the pickup location and timing, and made everything seamless and stress-free.
I loved every moment of this tour, and I cannot recommend Alex enough. If you’re visiting Paris and considering a Champagne tour, this is the one to book. An unforgettable day from start to finish! 🥂🍾 Thank you Go Go Tours and Alex!!

Sebastian was a great guide and we learned alot about how Champagne was made. The tour of the 2 "Houses" was very interesting. Mainly because one was a large production and the other was family owned. Great fun and very entertaining.
steve_t, Jan 2026
Excellent and informative tour delivered by Sebastian - a true and knowledgeable professional. Lots to see, amazing views and two contrasting Champaigne wineries to tour and tastings. Plus, a visit to the city of Reims and country town and status of Dom Perignon and a blind sparkling vs Champaigne "test". Highly recommended!
Crystal_R, Dec 2025
Jack did a great job showing us around. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and a joy to be around. The wineries were fantastic and the lunch was delicious! Well beyond our expectations! Highly recommend.
