Very good. Tour guide Author was great. We enjoyed the champagne at the small house. The bigger house was a bit too much. Tour too long and too many people.
Response from Host, Oct 2026
Thank you very much! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your time with our guide and the Champagne at the small Champagne house. We appreciate your feedback. Our small-group tours have a maximum of eight guests, offering a more personal experience. If you would prefer a smaller group, we would be happy to welcome you next time on a private tour, exclusively for you and your friends or travel companions.
It was a lovely day despite the rain. Alex was amazing!!!! Restaurant for lunch was good but underwhelming. We really enjoyed our day!!
It was a lovely tour but a very long day. Lots to drink and an excellent lunch. Nikita was an great guide.
Tomer picked me up from my airbnb right on time and we headed out to wine country. He made a comfort stop along the way and we carried on to Notre Dame in Reims. WOW, what stunning architecture in the cathedral. Then we toodled over to a winery for a tasting and a fantastic lunch, followed by another winery stop. I felt he made the trip super enjoyable for everyone on board no matter their age. He finished our day with a stop in a beautiful vineyard where we enjoyed more champagne and took some photos. Honestly, this was the best day I had in the week I was in Paris. I'd recommend this tour 11/10. Tomer was a phenomenal guide and just a delight to be around.
The tour was amazing! We visited a small, cooperative champagne house where we learned about the entire champagne making process. Lunch was served in Epernay near the Avenue de Champagne. Our guide then took us up on the hillside among the grapevines where we sipped champagne and took in the incredible views. The next stop was in Reims to see the Notre Dame Cathedral where nearly all of the French kings had been coronated. Our final visit was at Tattinger. The tour there included going down into the cellars where two million bottles of champagne are stored. Overall, this tour is one I would definitely do again.
Well organised with a variety of experiences provided. We had so much fun as the day progressed. Big thanks to our guide Arthur.
This tour was absolutely amazing! The small size of the group makes it so you get to know each other and make friends while sipping on delicious champagne! Can’t think of a better way to spend a day.
Arthur was phenomenal very knowledgable very personable very entertaining a real treat we throughly enjoyed his guidance and whit
Alex was fantastic tour guide. A very enjoyable day including lunch. He has a great insight into the world of champagne and champagne houses. Highly recommended
fantastic experience on this tour! Everything was very well organized, from start to finish, and our guide was knowledgeable and very friendly.
It’s a wonderful trip. Our guide was outstanding and very knowledgeable, lunch was delicious, and finally the pick up and drop off was seamless.
Spent a wonderful day in Champagne with two other couples and a driver/guide TJ who was excellent. Started at Nicolas Feuillatte with excellent overview of champagne making. Then had delicious lunch in Epernay. Afterward, we drove to picturesque overlook of vineyards and Marne River. TJ had one of our group open champagne with a saber. Very cool! Also tasted a port-like after dinner cordial. Then went to cathedral in Reim, where most French kings were crowned. Ended at boutique winery - Dom Caudron - where we had a few more tastings. TJ originally from US, so spoke excellent English. He had a warm, engaging personality that made the day a huge success! Highly recommend this tour with TJ from GoGo Tours.
Picked up and dropped off at door-no thinking involved. Great guide Tomer who loves his job and communicated well. Unreal landscape and tasting/winemaking/historical experience.
Well worth the money.
Excellent outing! Our guide Alex was extremely knowledgeable and kept the champagne flowing. Highly recommend!
I wanted to present the Reims Cathedral to my wife and visit cellars, enjoying some champagne tasting. All our objectives were fullfilled and we were very happy at the end of our tour.
Tomer was a fabulous tour guide! He was so knowledgeable and funny and great company. You can tell he was passionate about the champagne history. He was a great guide and would highly recommend him!
Such an amazing experience! Doing this excursion is a MUST if travelling to France!
This champagne day tour was amazing! We did the semi private tour with hotel pick up. Arthur our guide and driver for the day was fantastic! He was friendly and helpful. He explained everything we were seeing along the way. The other 4 people along with us were friendly and we got along great . The Taitinger Champagne tour was so interesting and informative. The caverns were amazing. We learned a lot about the whole process of making champagne. We visited the Reims cathedral in all its glory. The history of the church and architecture were so interesting.
Then we taken to a restaurant for a delicious 3 course lunch. Our little group sat together and had nice conversations about where we were all from. Afterwards we were taken to two other Champagne houses for more tastings and tours.
Thank you so much for organizing this wonderful day for us. Having the option to be picked up and dropped off at our hotel was a big plus! We highly recommend this company and our guide Arthur was fantastic!
The day trip to the Champagne region was wonderful. TJ is a great guide sharing lots of information about each of our stops. The tour of the Nicolas Feuillatte champage house was so interesting and the three champagnes that we tasted were great. Our next stop was the small family run champagne house with a tour and exceptional lunch wth 3 more champagnes to taste. Then on to our picture stop at a park overlooking the Marne valley. Great picks to send home. The last stop was a visit to the Reims Notre Dame cathedral, a rival to the Paris Notre Dame. Truly breathtaking. Thank you TJ for a great day
TJ is an amazing tour guide! He is extremely personable and very knowledgeable. I highly would recommend TJ specifically as a tour guide..
Arthur was a kind and fun guide! The stops were a perfect balance of larger family and small family wineries. Highly recommend this tour.
Spent a wonderful day learning about Champagne. Alex did a super job of getting us to the various vineyards and was very informative and entertaining along the way. Very professional… i will send my friends!!!
Was an awesome experience with Max as our guide. We visited a wonderful quaint family champagne house with delicious champagne, authentic cuisine at lunch and outstanding French ambiance. Max is an expert at explaining the champagne business as well as meeting the needs of the group. Wonderful day, tres bonne! Don't hesitate!!! Take the tour.
Best tour I have ever done… great wine,
Great food, fantastic guide… I can’t wait to visit Paris again so I can do it again
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.
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
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!
Great day! Spent the day in the beautiful region for my husbands 50th. Alex was great and went above and beyond.
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.
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.
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!
