    Fabulous experience in the Champagne region! Our guide had the none-too-easy task of catering to a group where some spoke French and some spoke English, and she did it effortlessly, making sure that everyone enjoyed their experience and learned lots. Our first stop, a family-run champagne house in Hautvilliers, was a stand-out moment of the day - the staff could not have been friendlier.

    Our guide Tom did a great job. In the first champagne distillery, he explained the process to us with a lot of expertise, really well and understandably. We got three samples there. Then we went through the beautiful plain of Champagne to the church of Abbot Dom Perignon, who also told stories there He told us a bit about this abbot and his story. Then we went to a beautiful vantage point over the Champagne and Eperny vineyards And of course we also went through the famous and time-honored Champagne road from Eperny And last but not least there was another tasting in another distillery So we can only recommend this tour
