They picked up and dropped off at our hotel which was key after a day of drinking! The champagne and food were delicious and the views breathtaking! Definitely would come back

EXCELLENT!

It was a wonderful day of learning and camaraderie. Jonathan went above and beyond in his service and made sure we did not miss anything this area had to offer. We learned about the art of making great champagne and also stopped at the Notre Dame de Reims impressive Cathedral. It was a great day!

We had a great time our tour guide Batiste was perfect four our group. He spoke French and English. Food was amazing, vehicle was clean. Nothing but positive things to say about this all day tour.

Well done, at first you have to understand the app, but I think it depends on the Android version of the phone. It's very interactive and well designed. I would try in 1 other city or country
