          Nice tour, nice small champagne winery, champagne price.
          My husband and I had a very nice tour of a single small winery. We toured the countryside. Our guide was local and knowledgeable. The trip was pleasant but very expensive compared to the next day 1/2day tour with a different company.

          10 Star Experience
          My husband, best friend and I went to the champagne region for 4 days for a milestone birthday celebration. We were with Stephane for 3 full days and are now entirely spoiled in terms of travel. He was fabulous in every way and made this a trip of a lifetime We learned so much about the region, its history, the people, and of course champagne. Experiencing the region with the knowledge of an insider made this truly exceptional. Going to some of the big houses and also smaller grower/producers was more important than we would have known on our own. This was a 10 star experience and making a new friend was a gift and bonus. Thank you Stephane and let us know if you get to our area.

          Great time with a fabulous guide!
          We have an amazing time with Stephane and Tours in Champagne. We were a complex group of 4, from different countries, different languages, different eating habits (including one vegetarian), one person in a wheelchair and another one who could just join the group for a part of the tour. Stephane managed to help us get the most of our time without needs to worry about logistics, tickets, restaurant bookings, parking or any other complication, leaving all our energy free to discover the places and taste the wines. Our goal was to know and learn about champagne, so we choose the 3-days Aroma Tour, and it was superb. We had the opportunity to go to the big houses with their art galleries and Disney-World-like stuff, but also to meet actual growers and small producers making very personal (and delicious) wines. In each of the 3 days we have learned new things without feeling that we are repeating programs. Stephane also helps us with booking a car between Orly and Reims and with restaurant recommendations in town. As an additional bit of luck, we were there just in the harvest time. Besides the natural beauty of the moment, we took advantage of Stephane’s huge knowledge of the region and network with people to visit winemakers and see the grapes been pressed and to try the first juice just fresh out of the press. If you are looking forward to visit Champagne and go beyond all very usual places, if you want to travel but don’t want to have to plan for every detail, of if you want to do something specific in the area and need assistance to make it happen, just call Stephane and he will help you with a kind smile in his face. We do strongly recommend Tours in Champagne and will sure call them once we plan another trip to Champagne. Cheers!

          The ONLY WAY to visit the Champagne houses of Reims & Epernay!
          We just enjoyed a fabulous day with Stephane visiting the champagne houses of Reims and Epernay. It was so lovely to have a personalised tour and not be part of a group, as it meant we were able to engage with Stephane so we got the most out of the experience - his knowledge of champagne, the houses & the region was amazing and we learnt so much. Everything was very well organised, we travelled in a comfortable, clean, modern car and lunch at a local restaurant in Epernay was also delightful. Thank you Stephane for a wonderful day - your tour far exceeded our expectations and made us fall even more in love with champagne!!!

          Enjoyable.
          Unfortunately for us we arrived when the renovations were on the go. So we thought it was closed and missed some of the tour driving about trying to find where to park and who to speak to. The staff were very friendly. We missed the introduction and made the chalk cellar tour. Fascinating but not more than a few metres of tunnels to explore. I was hoping for more caves and tunnels. There is a nice light and sound show down there and then you head back to the lounge for a tasting. You get to choose white or rose - vintage and non vintage of your preference. I preferred other houses where you move through to experience all 4 rather than having to choose just 2. But I guess this is the way they do it. Enjoyable. I think my expectations for Ruinnart may have been a little high.

          Elegant & Intimate
          A beautiful, elegant and informative tour. While other tours offer more of a touristy (and busy) spectacle, I rank this one as my favorite because it was more intimate, authentic, and did I mention the elegant? The tour guide truly gave 5 star service and was so helpful even afterwards with getting us to our lunch reservation.

          Interesting tour to know the history of the oldest champagne brand in the world.
          Wonderful tour which will enhance your knowledge about the history of champagne. Ruinart started champagne business in September 1729, making them officially the oldest champagne house in the world. You will see the cellar, understand the business and after the tour you can taste this genios brand.

          Great family day in Reims!
          Stephane was amazing! He worked with our family to create a perfect day in Reims with our family. We had 3 kids and we were able to enjoy some champagne houses with them! He also helped us with train times and the whole process was smooth! Would 100% recommend! Hope to go back someday soon!

          A very worthy Champagne experience
          We had such a wonderful time with Stephane. The day was planned perfectly and he coordinated with us in advance to ensure the experience met our desire to visit local champagne producers. We were so lucky to visit during harvest and were able to see the producers in full action. Truly a unique and memorable experience. The lunch cooked by his wife was such a special touch, and visiting with them at their house really added to the day. Don’t hesitate to book with Stephane, you won’t regret it!

          Great for families
          Our tour guide Lisa was very knowledgeable and showed us many great sites within the Champagne region! Biggest factor for going on a private tour was having a child. It allowed us to be able to see the champagne houses with ease while learning as much as possible. The family vineyards we visited were great!! I left the tour with a great appreciation for all the hard work that goes into each bottle of Champagne!

          Best 3 Days in Champagne Region!
          Stephane developed a customized 3 day tour for us based on what we wanted to experience and explore in the Champagne region. I wanted a well connected expert to guide us through the region and help us learn about family owned small growers; and to learn their process. What Stephane provided was deep expert knowledge and a robust network that enabled him to create unique tasting experiences for us. We tasted Grand Cru and Premiere Cru vintage and non-vintage champagnes that was exceptional and quite reasonably priced! In addition to what we brought back, Stephane was able to ensure 2 additional cases will be shipped to us! Through his stories and introductions to 4th, 5th and even 8th generation family growers, we learned so much about different types of champagnes and how to differentiate among them. He introduced us to a retired (soon to be retired) champagne producer that has been making champagne since the late 1800’s. The highlight was this meeting that led to him taking us to his private cellar where we tasted vintage champagne 2004 and 1993/1994. It was through this tasting that we could really comprehend how champagne ages over time and how the flavors develop. We considered that to be the highlight over the 3 days!! Whether your interests lie in going to the big champagne houses of the brands you know or going out to meet the local producers and taste richly crafted Grand Cru vintage and non vintage champagne - Stephane will create the tailored experience for you!! Highly recommend you plan your trip around his availability to maximize your Champagne experience! Thank you Stephane!!!

        Stephane (and Lisa) were absolutely amazing!!! This was our first trip to Champagne and we can't wait to return! Stephane was an amazing guide throughout our 2 day visit with him. Our only regret is that we didn't make it longer. He has a way of sharing his in depth knowledge of the area in an interesting and exciting way. Our visits to each of the vineyards were amazing, especially the smaller houses that he chose. His ongoing communication prior to our visit was outstanding while he was custom planning our tour. He patiently answered every question and was quick to welcome us to Reims once we arrived. Do not hesitate to schedule time with Stephane to see this amazing area! We miss you Stephane!

        We visited a variety of champagne houses including large and small. We experienced large cellars that were covered in artwork and small family cellars dating back generations. It was wonderful to see the presses and the vineyards right after harvest and we felt very welcome during this time which may have been impossible without someone like Stephane arranging. It seemed that he had a personal relationship with each of the winemakers and each had a special reason to visit. We loved the countryside and all of the knowledge that Stephane was able to share! Two days was enough that we felt we had experienced the area but any less and we may not have felt like we truly appreciated all that it has to offer.

        We were only 2 days in Reims and wanted to see and taste the more we can of very god Champagnes. With this tour we have visited the cellars of big brands we already known the taste but we also diacovered small producers which was a tasting revolution for us. Very good taste sometimes better than big brands and cheap price. Stephane also drive us to a quiet and romantic valley hidden and covered of vineyards. What a wonderful tour !

        Hello Johnny ! You were one the first to try this new tour with your lovely wife. 2 days is a very good time to discover the Champagne big houses, small producers and most of all to taste and compare different Champagnes. The location of this romantic valley is a secret ;). The collection I shipped you home will help your memories :) Cheers !

        I can’t imagine a better way to discover the Champagne region! My husband and I booked the 2 day tour for our anniversary. Our tour guide, Juan, planned everything perfectly. We learned so much about champagne and had a real mix of experiences from small to large houses. We had lunch at amazing local restaurants filled with locals (always a good sign) and were taken to some of the best lookout spots for spectacular views and pictures. It was amazing value and we had such fun with our wonderful guide. Highly recommended!
