SHORT REVIEW: Sydney's Champagne tour will be the best day of your France vacation. She customizes the tour to your preferences and is the perfect tour-guide for visitors of all ages. LONG REVIEW: My wife and I took a tour of the Champagne region with Sydney and Tasty Side to Life on May 29, 2012. It was tremendous - just... More

As lovers of champagne and not having visited Champagne previously, we selected Tasty Side of Life Tours on the basis of the positive reviews on Trip Adviser and that the itinerary was personalised. We were not disappointed! Sydney and Darren welcomed us at Reims railway station (45 mins by TGV from Paris) and throughout the day they proceeded to share... More

Loving Champagne and also loving my Cavalier King Charles Spaniel was not a problem when touring several vineyards with the help of Sydney. Sydney, Leo (Sydney's English Cocker Spaniel), and Francesco picked us (my boyfriend, my Cav Riley, and me) up around 8AM right in front of our Marais apartment in the center of Paris before whisking us away to...

Let me just start by saying this tour exceeded all of our expectations by leaps and bounds. We were met at the train station by Sydney and Darren with a bag full of yummy pastries. We were then off in our van to see the champagne houses while learning all about the region on the way. I learned so much... More

We were picked up from our Paris accommodation on the dot of 8am, as arranged, by our driver and guide Darren. We then started the 90 minute drive to Reims where Darren filled in the time with information on the Champagne region and our Itinerary for the day (which we'd chosen from the multitude of options offered by Sydney). Upon... More

We found Sydney through TripAdvisor - and we were so very very very very happy with this choice. Sydney, and our driver, Arnaud (sp?) met us at our hotel in Versailles. We were so appreciative that they were willing to come get us rather than our having to travel into Paris to meet them. Sydney worked with us to create... More

We found Syndey through Tripadvisor and agree with the other reviewers - totally worth it. Despite being a public holiday in France, Sydney was very knowledgeable about champagne and we visited 2 independent champagne houses and 1 large house (since the foie gras farm was closed). It was great to meet the owners of the independent houses and hear their... More

We chose from a wide range of various activities in the region and tailored a day to suit us perfectly. We were day 1 post Paris Marathon, and Sydney (trip organiser) gave us a free upgrade to a luxury car with fresh croissants at pick up. We began the day at the driving range of a beautiful golf course, then... More

My husband and I found Sydney and the Tasty side to Life tours through Trip Advisor.Sydney was very helpful and prompt in all email replies. She tailored a day in Champagne around what we wanted to do and accommodating the impaired mobility of my 83 year old mother. We visited several small Champagnes producers, learnt lots about Champagne production. The... More
